This is how I Prep and Primer my 3D Prints and models

[@aberodriguez4149]

This is impressive work and information, I don't have a 3D Resin Printer but seeing the passion you have for this hobby and how you share it with the community is a indication that you sir are truly a master and a teacher. Had to give you a heck of a Thumbs Up plus you got one more Sub. Happy Printing !

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you very much!

[@sonnymarciano5237]

I use white primer just finished Joker looks great I leave primer on until it dries I have used alot of your tips TY

[@eddie1003751130]

I use my G tool with other sandpaper grit I just cut some sandpaper and two sided tape and it works great

[@plantspace]

Thank this is a fascinating topic . I would like to get into this but just trying to figure where to start

[@Carlos-sl5iy]

Great video, have you given any thought to doing a series showing how you build a print from start to finish? That way you could cover all the aspects of building & painting.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thats exactly what I had in mind when I did this video. I wanted to see the reception of it first and if it helps anyone.

[@Carlos-sl5iy]

@@TheCreativeCollector That would be awesome to watch. You could do a weekly chapter from prep to final reveal. That way there more time to show specifics on each portion of the build. Thoughts?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thats what I was thinking. hopefully I can work it out to where I can start doing a series like this.

[@outlawfpv3792]

Great video...gtool looks like a finger saving game changer.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Man...this thing has made my life so much easier. lol

[@frankquarters]

Learned a lot thanks! I would think a warm soapy wash w toothbrush would be best for complete dust removal prior to priming right?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Either that or a stiff brush or canned air.

[@mandofett4543]

Great content, thank you for your vids. I do have a concern though. What is the current information on dust from sanding resin printed models? Can it cause serious health problems? Should you wear a mask and do the sanding outside? Can the dust be especially harmful to children? Thanks for any light you can shed on these concerns. All the best.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Definitely wear a mask as with any kind of sanding. You just wanna be safe.

[@salttrader4113]

Wow, thanks for all the tips, it seems like a ton of work brother!

[@3xtigy261]

Hello mate interested in the g tool but where/what pads do I need for it? There is sooo many to choose from. Can you give us a link. I'm new to all this. Apologies. 😂🎉

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Sure. Usually there is a link or description along with the Gtool. I might have a link along in my description of the videos.

[@bluediablito]

Great video. Was looking for something like this. Keep up the great work. Do you have any video on: 1. how to place the supports? 2. Supports settings? 3. Any suggestions on how to print and get good gaps? My prints no matter what I do my gaps are bad and then I have to use fillers (tons of fuller). Your support are none damaging. Where can I buy that punisher file?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Supports...not yet. I do have a video or two on gaps and how to prevent it. Look it up in the video library. And the Punisher file is from Doses3D. There's a link in the video description.

[@bluediablito]

@@TheCreativeCollector thank you

[@briankelly2580]

Why don’t you have any pits from support removal ? Or do you fill them in ?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

They have some, but not many because of my support settings. I usually just have to lightly sand them off.

[@briankelly2580]

Hey! I am thankful for your tips you have showed me, but how can I better apply primer to my models. I use a rattle can as well and right now I just lay the pieces of the model down on some cardboard and spray them with primer, but then I have to wait for it to dry to flip over and do the backside. Is there a better way I can apply the primer?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You can use alligator clips with skewers to hold them upright. I use those a lot!

[@JGbets]

@@TheCreativeCollector Thanks for the info, I tried them out and they work great!

Your video helped me so much thank you! About to use your GTool link now!

That's awesome! You will love that Gtool.

[@BaianOfSteel]

What do you do when textured surfaces have obvious blemishes? Asking because I bought a resin 3d print which has a sequin-like pattern that has some blemishes on it.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

A lot of times I use Aves Apoxy to sculpt the part if it needs it or I use my rotary tool to try and sand it after I fill it. It takes time, especially if it's a well detailed piece.

[@BaianOfSteel]

@TheCreativeCollector thanks! I guess another part of the solution would have been to buy a print on a larger scale, since I feel that the textured surfaces are too tiny for me to repair them by hand. Still, I'll give it a try, since I need the practice!

[@tinkey2562]

i cannot find that g tool and replacement pads anywhere. Would a regular mini rotary tool work?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It's sold out and discontinued now. A rotary tool would be fine

[@krisrothfuss2550]

What resin do you use to get the highest print quality for 8k prints? This model looks awesome with the details!!!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I use just Sunlu and /or Elegoo standard grey resin. Nothing fancy. It all depends on your settings.

[@krisrothfuss2550]

@@TheCreativeCollector ill search for any videos that you have up loaded

[@Darkwingdad]

Stay away from wood filler. Water based,high shrink rate & adhesion issues long term. Get a good filler primer like upol or bondo. For heavier defects reduce bondo putty or upol putty with acetone & brush it on.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks but I've been using this plastic wood filler for several years and it hasn't failed me yet.

[@Wrath_the_Fallen]

Would wet sanding also work?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Absolutely

[@belenhedderich3330]

Hi Thanks for sharing this and many other tips. Does it matters the primer color? Grey is twice as expensive than "reddish"or white

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I just use grey because it's easier for me to identify flaws and details

Great model and thanks for the tips. What printer was this done with?

Thanks. I printed this one on the Anycubic Photon mono X and the base was printed on the M3 Max

[@darren990]

do you spray the guns then glue them on . or put it all together and prime and paint ?

I usually paint the parts separate on a model like this.

Hey , Why do you use primer ? why I cant just make paint very thin and airbrush gray before i paint with color ? what makes primer better than paint?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Primer allows to paint to grab onto the model plus it covers minor imperfections. If you paint with no primer, expect the paint to come off easy in some cases or the paint may bubble or just not stick to the model.
