Masking 3D Printed Models for Painting

[@MrFruitycakes]

blu tack is also great at fixing broken 3D printing supports during a print!! modellers best friend!

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

Awesome suggestion! I would have never though of that. :)

[@Goobermunch]

My go to is Silly Putty. Both for masking and emergency support replacement.

[@cryoglobe]

certainly better than "painter tape" .. good point ! thanks

Cool, short video demonstrating a useful technique. Thanks for sharing. As an aside, it appears that your new, mystery primer does a pretty fine job of layer smoothing and the idea of using a quality primer via airbrush instead of a rattle-can has all of my interest. Please share with the class when you can. Thanks again.

Nice. Thanks for affirming my idea. Beats masking tape! LOL

Guess he was sworn to secrecy on that new awesome primer.

[@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors]

The primer is Badger Airbrush's 3D Prime :)

@@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors Thanks, I figured it was just an oversight lol

[@batwater4909]

What a great idea !

[@NaveenKumar-rx9zk]

Thanks for video

Silly putty is more ideal than blu tack as blu tack can more easily pull paint. Both work though 👍

[@Goobermunch]

Bento San But blu tack is great for sticking prints to your turntable.
