I live in the UK too and XPS foam is indeed hard to get off. Instead, I buy insulation foam from B&Q or the like. It comes in large sizes and is cheaper, but the top and bottom faces are covered with an aluminium sticker. However, it's super easy to remove.

[@shauntaylor9251]

Or foam underlay for laminate flooring , ok it's only 6/8mm thick but it's easily glued to make a thicker sheet Celutex is often found in skips when building work is taking place

[@andyseverance1519]

I use the Amera Labs Town Test. It's pretty damn reliable, tests a bunch of different things and has never steered me wrong.

[@notthistime9290]

I also printed a warhound. Just started painting it so much trim work to paint. Want to finish it but time is something I’m lacking. Keep up the great work.

[@antongunther3977]

for the safest refilling do the followign: Wait for the layer to fully retract, pause the print. Fill the vat. Resume printing

[@raycervantes6681]

i was going to say, is there a reason why people dont like to pause there print?

Bro, your vids are so good, thank you for being such an inspirational icon to the community, I can't wait to get my photon mono x 2 working, only found it because of you.

Thank you so much brother!

Just got a Mono X2 to go with my old Mono, they're a great printer

[@daringdarius5686]

I've printed a few warhounds for myself and my friends in the past, but only in FDM. I never got around to painting it however, but recently finally got an air brush... Time to see how big of a difference a resin warhound is to an FDM warhound (printed on a regular Ender 3) printing at 0.2mm layer height.

[@youtubevanced4900]

I've printed a baneblade in resin on my anycubic photon. Then I printed the same model in PLA except the shadowsword variant. The resin one is obviously smoother but on the table it's meaningless. Plus the plastic one is near indestructible, whilst the resin one would explode if I dropped it. I printed it at 0.2 layers which is a bit rough. I've tested printing at 0.08 and it's a lot nicer. Now I've got a super fast plastic printer I think I'll have a go at a plastic warhound @ 0.08 layers. Also, I printed all the little turrets and the cannon barrel in resin so it's really only the chassis in plastic.

[@puglife5966]

You may not see this because how long ago this is but where are you guys finding these great looking stls, everything I am seeing looks nothing like a titan

[@armundojones]

On the XPS foam side of things you can get it in Ireland- without paying the hobby tax. Both B&Q and Screwfix (who do deliveries) stock them. Not sure if either one is near you. If you try searching for XPS foam you wont always get the best result. They often label it under "Extruded Polystyrene Foam". Now to be fair it's not as thick as what you've shown their but I'm using it for Warmaster scale terrain so I only recall as big as 10mm but you can always glue it together and if you asked they might order it in. Keep up the good work.

[@TheStonehammerFiles]

Cubes of calibration and I support my own models. When I do post cure, it is just for a few minutes, but if you thoroughly wash the model then you don't need to post cure.

sunlu had a 10 year sale a week ago, i scored 3l of the grey ABS-like for about 50$, currently midway through printing a ta'unar with it. Love that resin, cheapest thing imaginable

[@DouglasParkinson]

Since I started back in 2006, I loved the Lucius pattern Warhound. Thanks to it's discontinuation about a decade ago, 3D printing is the only way I can hope to get one.

[@jonathonsayre4879]

So ready for the Warlord vids. Just subbed to your patreon after getting my resin printer (creality ld200h or whatever the name is) Have spent about 4 days on the cones of calibration test, just cause I work a lot and I might be a little slow. Anywho love your videos, wish you would do a video on prepping resin minis for painting or something. Would love to see that, as you are a good painter as well

[@battlebrothersam]

My king! Welcome to the community brother I could look into that

[@vertigo5012]

You make me wish I could play again, I just got my first resin 3d printer, Unfortunately I had to stop playing due to medical issues, namely essential tremors. I drop and knock over models constantly and considering I'm a diehard Eldar player the model break all the time. But your video's are definately inspiring.

Can't wait to watch the warlord titan. That us one I'm wanting to get printed myself.

[@01oo011]

Pls look up images of the warlords legs before gluing! Almost glued one of the legs on backwards.

[@MyAcer20]

i basicly only use the cones of calibration from tableflip foundry it does take a long time to dial in but i never swich from one resin type to another so i only had to do this once and its been fine for the last 5 bottles ive done so far

[@backupplan973]

the cones of calibration work well

[@WarmasterHorus96]

Cones of calibration are prefect for exposure test (escpecially for supports). Other then that essentially the starship and the exposure test you used.

[@ilyabelomy8090]

The supports were harder to remove because you used standard resin. ABS like resin has more flexibility, making support removal easier. I find that ABS leaves the raft easier to peel off in once piece, while standard causes it to chip away. I have no problems mixing the two however, but prefer ABS.

[@theleadbonehead]

i cant wait to print mine im ordering 10,000 grams of resin to print mine soon

[@sinistercraft3577]

I don't use the same cure station, I have a Mars but I always cure my pieces for at least 10 minutes.

[@Mattyteze]

With the foam, try looking in your local big hardware stores under insulation foam. It took me ages to find the right stuff in Australia.

I have a ender 3 showing up today so I was going to try a hybrid, armor and visible parts in resin, loadbearing parts in FDM

That's what I was going to do, good idea. Good for strength, you can still smooth them out after by painting epoxy filler or something and sanding it down after.

[@chrisx6991]

Made a chaos war hound for me and now made a second imperium and starting a 3rd for some local game players. Don't understand why you didn't hollow out your pieces? Mine are so light weight warhounds it's nice. My file looks like same details but mine is also broke down into multiple pieces. I may have more time in assembly but hollow parts, light weight, less time, less resin. Didn't time mine but I don't think including printing hours were near 100 hours.

[@cameronfarris2447]

Sam, you gotta start making more vids of you painting the models!

[@reddragon4482]

I might have a go at printing the Mechanical parts in FDM and post processing them after to smooth them out to save a bit of money. Would probably make the thing mad heavy wouldn't it lol. I eventually want to tackle that Imperator Titan on Cults one day lol. The thought frightens me though lmao.

I will say that retract distance looks huge and the retract speed looks pretty slow.... I use 6mm retract at 210mm/min retract speed with this exact resin on a Saturn S and it handles it fine, I think you can shave a lot of time off your prints. As for calibration.... try the cones of calibration

[@kinzer69]

3 seconds over cured the supports, 6 seconds would ruin the print, but a cure takes 5 minutes... never makes sense to me lol. I started hand flashlighting the peices, little longer for thick parts, less for thin. Untill the whole surface has that "dry" look.

[@miguellopez3392]

Over cured supports aren't a problem, overcured print isn't ruined but it will lose detail and stick to the fep harder increasing failure chance, 5 minutes fully cure the model making it safe to handle and stronger but increasing how brittle it is, I use a UV flashlight to hit areas where a station couldn't.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 👍

[@timreeves]

most calibration tests are completely useless for mini printing, as they are tailored to prioritise "finest detail", the "cones of calibration" test however is designed to show the finest detail you can get without your supports failing, it's also an objective test, there's no "good enough by my eye", it tells you exactly if it is under or over exposing. EDIT: also, the cleanup of your parts is pretty awful, there's all that horrible scummy white stuff still on it. those wash and cure stations are horrid for this, I'd suggest a multi-stage cleaning, first stage is your "dirty" IPA, give the parts a good shake in that first to get rid of the bulk of the resin (this could still be the wash and cure station), then go to a mid stage which washes off all the dirty IPA (which gives that white scum) and get out the toothbrush to give the surface a nice rub, and then your final "clean" IPA, where again you're just going to give the parts a good shake in that to ensure a perfect finish. For this I just use mason jars with the flip top lids, and your IPA goes a LOT further as you can wait until all the pots have settled, pour off the top clean part of each of them, dispose of the gunky layer, put the skim from the dirty pot back in the dirty pot, and put the mid and the clean one down in the conga line only changing when your "clean" pot is looking murky or you're getting the surface detritus again. Your models and your painting process will thank you.

[@omniscient9533]
