The "thickened resin" tip is genius! I usually fill holes with resin when I can, but always lamented it being too thin, so I would use something like putty.
@Fra4nky2 жыл бұрын
You really need to be careful with that though, I personally wouldn‘t do it. Resin is designed to only cure a very thin layer so when you have a couple of milimeters of resin gunk you are probably only curing the outer most bits and behind it you will have the untouched gunk for basically forever
@RichardThompsonCA2 жыл бұрын
@@Fra4nky That is true. I've been using this thickening trick the last few days on some prints. While I'm sure there's a glop of uncured resin behind it, these are mold masters. They are only used to make a silicone mold from, so the uncured resin doesn't matter as long as it's on the inside.

@@Fra4nky when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like nails. Pva and paper is a great filler if you have nothing else, two part epoxy resin is also decent. But generally modelling putty is the best, designed for the job. Then you can resin finish over once it has set.

I've never thought of using resin like this. What I usually do is sand down the connector pieces until they fit. Than use superglue to stuck them together and afterwards fill with either milliput white, greenstuff, or liquid greenstuff. Milliput can be softened with water so it is really nice to work with - and safe. Liquid green stuff is nice for blending parts and filling tiny gaps - though you might need more than one coat... I also like using it as a "paint" as it erases almost all layer lines. I usually apply it to the desired surface, and then use wet brushes to work it in. If needed I sand it down and apply again. It can be used for a really nice effect on capes and fabrics.

I'd argue a hygiene mask isn't enough. You'd want a painter's mask or N95 ath the minimum, if not a full respirator with an P2 particle filter. Resin can cause allergies if you're exposed to regularly. Also, sanding might expose undercured resin so another blast of the good old curing light might be appropriate

Resin printing imperfections are mainly due to the layers being visible, if you don't have a high resolution printer, or due to marks left from removing supports, which you can clear using a rotary tool or sand paper.
@Shinobubu3 ай бұрын
I often just 3d print the removed holes into their own model so they can just be plugged and glued back on. easy to do this in zbrush or your 3d modeling tools (Booleans) specially if the hole you need to make is huge. or designed it into the model . I often have the drain holes where I keyed the parts for assembly. that way when I assemble the multi part model the holes are instantly taken care of.

Now i know she has great tips on miniature painting. Lol I'm a patreon of loot studios, my next print is the Harpy Ship. Ive been told it takes up to 6500g's to print it?
