Removing Layer Lines with UV Resin

Check out this latest make: Praetorian Guard helmet from Mandalorian Season 3
It's been a while since I made a video on how to take raw 3D prints to finished prop. This time I cover how I used UV 3D printer resin to fill and sand away layer lines

Top Work and a very good how to video. It definitely derserve more attention. The result of the helmet is gorgious. So keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany.

[@TheBrodalorian]

Vielen Dank!

Very nice work

[@doro626]

NOICE! Honestly dont think they make it look this good in the movies unless they have 501'st come in as stand its.

[@Acheiropoietos]

That callus remover is a top score 👍

[@TheBrodalorian]

It’s pretty nice! And came with 100 fresh sandpapers

Great video! I love using resin to speed up clean up. I like you mentioned safety. Can't mess around with this stuff. Just one criticism... maybe don't have any food or drinks at the workstation. if something flicks off the brush, your coffee could make you sick. Tip: Mix baby powder into some resin off to the side to thicken it up to the consistency of toothpaste to fill gaps and holes. Much faster and easier than going back and forth to the UV light. Fill all the gaps and holes then hit it with light once. Then move on to covering the helmet.

best video I seen on Layer lines with UV resin

[@TheBrodalorian]

Thank you! 🙏

No sir Thank You@@TheBrodalorian

Great place for the coffee while brushing in resin…👍🏻👍🏻

[@sjweathering4354]

Ooooooooh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love the detail on the resin and sanding Elvis

[@Paulilmys]

Looks amazing. Great video

[@paulmason6847]

I use a Q-tip and resin for filling smaller imperfections or holes, used to use wood filler but resin is cheaper and quicker also less sanding

[@TheBrodalorian]

I’ve also learned since making this video that adding some baby powder to the resin makes it even easier to sand. Try it out!

[@TheGdBatMando]

Great video, Elvis! Nice and clear explanations of your process. And the helmet looks fantastic! Every new project shows how your skills have improved! Phenomenal work, my friend!

[@TheBrodalorian]

Thank you dude!

[@shakestheclone1995]

Excellent Glad I found you.

You are a master!! Love the video!! 🤘🏻🧡🧡🤘🏻

Had to edit that!! Master!! Master!!

[@TheBrodalorian]

Lol, figured it was meant to be something supportive :)

[@FulcrumForce]

Absolutely stunning work as always, the resin definitely does seem to cut down some time with filling

[@AdamRobertshaw]

Great tutorial! Very useful to see this often skipped but time consuming and essential process!

[@TheBrodalorian]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MortalGlare]

Working on my very first Cosplay this year and this is going to be super helpful, thank you!

[@TheBrodalorian]

Thanks you! And good luck with the cosplay!

Spectacular work..thanks for all the tips!

Your videos are the best

[@KalistareProductions]

Very well done! I look forward to trying this out myself on my future projects. Just starting out, so this will be a very good method to use. I plan to specialize in custom Mandalorian armors as well as other requests submitted by anyone interested really. 😅

[@Kyberphonic]

GYYYYYAT dang you did that.

[@barkycatbros3078]

Looks great!

Thank you!

[@campbelldaniel58]

I genuinely learned some things. Keep it up dude. 🫶🏽

[@TheBrodalorian]

Glad to hear it!

[@wadetomczyk8043]

Awesome work

[@TheBrodalorian]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DarthRageReviews]

Very informative video! I’ve never used UV resin, but it seems like another good solution to finishing props. Another great video.

[@TheBrodalorian]

I think ima stick to this going forward, it sanded so nice I almost skipped filler primer

[@DarthRageReviews]

@@TheBrodalorian now I’m going to have to give it a shot.

[@willofthemaker]

Get a deburring tool for the edges! Once i realized that, it was a huge help

[@TheBrodalorian]

That’s a great idea!

@@TheBrodalorian Absolutely, nice and clean!

[@GamingWithURO]

Very cool! I gotto ask.. if you're comfortable using a spray gun for the clear coat, why not spray the red too? Maybe even the primer?

[@TheBrodalorian]

Plan on starting to! Actually working on a gar Saxon mauldalorian now

[@GamingWithURO]

@@TheBrodalorian awesome. You definitely should. It Seemed like you had a good grasp on it. 👍 I'm in the collision repair trade for more 25 years so a spray gun is easy to me.

[@beardedcyborg8807]

Never would have thought to use a Callus sander. Also, I live in the UK. What is this 'Sun' you speak of?

[@TheBrodalorian]

😂 UV light for you

[@hansherrera6969]

very cool. when u put the resin what grade or number sandpaper do u use on it

[@TheBrodalorian]

I use a medium like 220 to cut a little faster, then follow up with moderate 400 wet sand. No need to go higher because the filler primer will fill the 400 grit sand lines

[@Mr.McWatson]

The end result is quite nice. I've seen guys use CA instead of resin and sand that, any idea which is better?

[@TheBrodalorian]

I’ve never tried it, but I’d imagine they might be similar. Wonder if resin could be a little softer, as-in possibly easier to sand.

[@Phantix68]

What grit of sandpaper did you use on the uv resin

[@TheBrodalorian]

I used a medium grit like 220 to cut a little faster, then follow up with moderate 400 wet sand. No need to go higher because the filler primer will fill the 400 grit sand lines

[@JeffTucker32]

Would love a link to the UV Resin you used, as well as the clear coat and the spray gun!

[@TheBrodalorian]

Don’t get hung up on the resin, I used what I had laying around, you dont need anything special. ABS-like or Fast UV resin will do. I happened to use Elegoo Fast grey for this(because I’m using it up, didn’t care for it for 3D printing). Clear coat I used was Acme Finish1 FC720 paired with FH612 hardener.

[@JeffTucker32]

@@TheBrodalorian Thank you. What kind of spray gun did you use for the clear? It looked like a great size.

[@TheBrodalorian]

I used HVLP touch up gun with a 0.8mm nozzle, but I think a full size 1.4 is what most pro’s use. The one I’m using is the cheapo touch up gun from Harbor Freight

[@thomaslivezey]

I don't think having your drink next to your work is a good idea
