Love Fab365 ever since I printed the Mystery Machine!

[@voodooreaper1090]

Sorry, I'm new to all of this. Can these be printed on resin printers?

[@therick0996]

The problem with scaling to 200% is the tolerances are also scaled. But like you said, that's what gloop is for

[@rhymecypha]

If you can get it

[@RuthlessMojo]

@@rhymecyphaYou can make your own with old plastic model sprues (or any similar plastic like 3D Printer filament) and plastic cement. Just cut up your old sprues or other plastic material and dissolve it in the plastic cement. You can also use epoxy or epoxy putty like miliput or green stuff.

[@UncleJessy]

yeah I was thinking that might have made the snapping of the parts together a bit easier as well

[@rhymecypha]

@@RuthlessMojo thats a great tip! Thanks!

[@Beakerzor]

What is the gloop you use or recommend?

[@ArtisOpus]

Great work here buddy, it turned out so well! Thanks for the shout-out! ❤ Cool 'mini' too, that's my type of assemble process! Clip in parts... the dream 😊

[@UncleJessy]

Seriously fantastic tutorials! Will be attempting again soon ;)

[@jroc00070]

An important note for your viewers that you must disable "make overhangs printable" in your slicer since that will fuse or seal many of the hinges and slots. Found out the hard way.

[@fab365_official]

Thank you very much for your awesome print my design! Your video is much better than mine~ Can I share this video link on to my star destroyer page?😄

[@MrRichstu]

Hey. Just as a tip from someone who builds Star Wars models. The best results I’ve gotten are black prime and then a few thin white coats either airbrush or rattlecan. It’s a fairly standard star ship scheme that works for Star Wars. In the movies the star destroyers are actually white, not grey.

[@yatsu2me]

The Falcon is a nice touch in understanding perspective; seeing people stand next to the Falcon in the movies and at Disneyland, and then seeing the mini-piece next to the ISD, a mile-long ship, a human size is a tip of a ballpoint pen here

[@dennysawyer3980]

Just downloaded that model yesterday! I love FAB365.

[@ScytheNoire]

Drybrushing is more about the control of moisture. You don't actually want the brush to be dry. That's why Artis Opus uses a non-absorbent surface, as you want to keep moisture in the brush. You'll notice the small sponge he also uses to keep it moist.

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah I have zero idea what I’m doing 🤣😂 but was having fun trying it all. I had a wet paper towel I’d occasionally use but no where near as good as his.

[@rllsryc]

A texture palette for dry brushing is such a game changer, the reason is because if you use a paper towel or something similar it pulls all the moisture out of the paint and you end up with a chalky looking finish.

[@odj310388]

Love the look of this print when done! When looking for strength I’d 100% go with more walls than higher infill. Think some other KZbinr did a video on it before, CNC kitchen maybe?

[@Beakerzor]

I made some hooks for bath towels with like 6 walls and 10% infill and I could NOT for the life of me break the hooks, as hard as I tried, it was super strong.

[@chickenstripp864]

Oh wow, this repository is awesome! Never would’ve found it without this vid. I love that I don’t have to think twice about printing some of these more complicated models with how reliable printers are getting nowadays, def gonna give em a try! Star destroyer build came out great btw

[@Geoff_W]

Yessssssss! This is the content I love from you!

[@UncleJessy]

🔥 thanks! Had a lot of fun with this one!

[@Toy_and_Prop_Masters]

Fantastic video like always! I'm currently in the market for a new 3D printer but with all the choices out there, which one would best fit my needs? I am looking to produce very large tall prints. I love the high detail of the resin printers but I do not like the chemicals or the limited size. This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. Is there an extra large FDM printer that can produce the quality or close to it of a resin printer? If not, what filament would give the best results for minimizing layer lines? Which nozzle size gives the best detail again by limiting layer lines? What layer height also gives the best detail? Which slicing software is the one you would recommend depending on the printer type you suggest? I saw your videos on the Elegoo's Neptune 3 Max & 4 Max but I am hesitant to buy either. I also saw the Creality CR-10 S5 and the like and now I am more confused than ever. Please shed some light into the printer, filament and slicing software I should focus on, thank you.

[@maxpayne2323]

Fab365 is underrated?!?!?

[@fab365_official]

😅😅😅

[@andrewmoscrey7470]

With regards to adding strength to your parts: increasing wall count will do far more for strength than just increasing infill percentage.

[@justinhamrick384]

I've always done infill percentages. What do you usually do for wall count to make it stronger? That might be an interesting option to use with Lightning infill.

[@andrewmoscrey7470]

As he was only using 2 walls, going up to 4-5 is going to do quite a bit for strength.

[@plasticarcade]

I love fab365, great video… question how much filament did you use to print this at that size?

[@Misko6]

Only like halfway through this video, and it's been incredibly informative and included things I really thought would be useful for future prints! Really cool and thank you!

[@HonicBlue]

Thanks for posting this video! I'm just getting into 3d printing, and the Neptune plus is my first printer. I'm giving this one a go, since it looks like a great model without worrying about supports. I'm using orca slicer, and I notice the settings he gives on his site don't match up with orca. Which slicer did you use for this print?

[@cpoco]

Arguably my favourite ship from the Star Wars universe... lovely job on the paint. I imagine with the snap together nature it might make it a bit easier (with some pre-planning) to put some LEDs in there?

[@SkinnyTrini04]

SO cool, I just downloaded the files. How long is it at 200% scale? Looks at least 2 feet long.

[@UncleJessy]

Just under 3ft long!

[@julianking3847]

I did his AT-AT at 200 % and it’s awesome!!!

[@blazet9860]

@julianking3847 How big did it turn out? I got the AT-AT file as well. I would really like it about the size of the old Kenner ones. Any idea of the best size to scale it at to match that size?

[@autumntalkies]

Awesome print and thanks for sharing the build and finishing up process. I do have questions on settings that you use for such large prints to stick to bed for so long. Do you use any bed adhesion glue?

[@santiagomoneta]

I got their tie fighter.. great print!

[@vinnnocc]

After watching this I ordered two rolls of that filament. Looks amazing. I’m currently printing at 220c on my x1c and it looks pretty gloss. What temp were you printing??

[@bf00262]

I printed this model on Bambu's orca slicer and had the same loose fitting issue. Their print settings are from prusa I'm not sure how much how much it affects the fit.

[@olafb.2929]

What an awesome model and print!

[@snooker216]

Reinforcing the stand with support was a really good idea. And I know what I'm talking about. I printed the model scaled to 200% and after about 2 weeks the top part of the stand simply broke off and my Star Destroyer fell to the ground. Luckily there was no serious damage. The support point is poorly chosen for this model. Too far away from the center of gravity. I then designed my own stand where the model lies on 2 V-shaped supports.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I turn off my auxiliary fan on the Qidi Tech X Plus 3 as well. Thanks for the orcaslicer modifier tip!

[@EQINOX187]

Awesome looking model and dry brush effect, my only criticism would be that while it might make sense to paint the individual sections as it might make it easier it also means that you will have sections of the ship that are not exactly the same color at the join lines like we can see in the video where you see large sections that are light then the hard join line and on the other segment it has a large darker grey color, when dry brushing it is better to assemble it first so that you can get a consistent color over the various segments

[@iAmStrawman]

I printed the front and middle pieces at 200% and they are so warped. I’m using a Neptune 4 max also. Any suggestions???

[@Barry.T.racing]

Can you do a video about all the settings in the slicer for the Elegoo Neptune 4 plus

[@LordNerfherder]

Prime it black and drybrush it in grey. Hot tip. Then print colour does not matter. Do not buy citadel paints - go with like army painter or similar decently priced paint as this is just drybrushing. Make sure it's a base color and not some weird ink or similar.

[@UncleJessy]

thanks!

[@WF3D]

This is amazing! I love it!

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks man! Was a ton of fun

[@-AT-WALKER]

Never knew about their site, some cool stuff on there, thanks! After having a quick look, how are they charging for models that aren't theirs? That Michelangelo sculpture looks like the free one from that scan project a few years back.

[@jcsomebody]

Prints look amazing I have been going back and forth on replacing my ender5plus but the Neptune 4 max I have heard problems finding replacement nozzles and shopping around for hardened ones or even replacement of the copper ones. thoughts?

[@danholzer4626]

Please forgive my ignorance but can this be printed on a resin printer...I am new to this.

[@banjomaniac]

I have a Neptune 4 plus. If I download the file into orca did you have to change settings for it to print for the elegoo? I've had some issues with some files and still learning how to use orca, bern using the slicer that came with the elegoo and it almost never messes up. Great video and man that's an awesome print and great finished model, you are very knowledgeable for sure.

[@fotomeinema-annemeinema3974]

What are the size of the fans inside the parts cooling box, maybe they can be exchanged to noctua fans.

[@laddn17]

Hey Jesse, the speed doesn't matter if you keep the accel the same. you can type in 500 mm a second, and for example, if your accel is too low the printer will never hit that speed anyways. Looks like it's going maybe like 60mm a sec. Try cranking the accel up and turn it down in slicer speed settings to 60mm a sec just for fun turn. It will still be fast. With no accel its Sorta like racing a Topthrill dragster on half the cylinders. Yea it's fast but wait till the other 4 pistons fire and it gets boosted. Aloof.example, but ya. Let me know if it helped you out at all :) l8

[@bhoff145]

Jessy! What is the slicer you are using in the video? Also are running Mac or PC?

[@UncleJessy]

Mac & Orcaslicer

[@AAWOLFE-zc6ly]

may i make a suggestion, for dry brushing use much much less paint than you did... the brush is really almost dry devoid of paint. but over all for your first time not too shabby.

[@AAWOLFE-zc6ly]

with dry brush less is more... ;o)

He is on the neptune 4 max and printing at .2 layer height. At least that's what I did and no sanding needed.

[@charlesballard5251]

@@UncleJessy I'm wondering if I'll need it for materials other than PLA, like maybe ABS, but it's easy to put back on.

[@StevenKelley]

Took my fan off the Neptune 4 Plus first week. Even at 250mm/s no difference. I suspect its pointless sub 300mm/s speeds. I actually think it cools the bed too much and causes more problems with bed adhesion.

[@SxEtluv2012]

Hey great video and loving the sudo paint method. Question and maybe poll for community but what you think is the perfered method of painting? acrylic painting / spray or airbrush / dip / or using filiament? I know the project usually sways the preference but curious.

[@sorka95032]

[@ryanosborne4261]

How does the hanger bay not require supports?

[@figuresix]

I would suggest buying the actual dry brush, brushes. They are more stiff than those makeup brushes, and give you WAY better control. You dont have to get the Opus brushes, the Army Painters one work great. But I am fond of the Opus D series ones myself. Also may work better if you dry brush after its put together. Doing it in sections, and then connecting you can see very differnt colors, and missed spots that distract from how amazing this model is.

[@kiksu1]

This is so beautiful model ❤ My Star Destroyer crashed because the stand failed from the top 😅 It's a bit front heavy and the stand didn't take it well

[@robmarshallofficial]

That citadel paint is just acrylic paint and is cheaper to by from a craft store in the larger bottles. Games Workshop by and large vats of paint, has it put into small bottles and change the name of the colour to what they want to call it.

[@corkey2077]

I find dry brushing makes the layer lines stand out more. I would have given it a medium to heavy primer first

[@nerys71]

Fab 365 makes some truly incredible models definitely a gifted individual However none of his models are free not anymore he used to have free models that every now and then you could pick one of the free models but that condition no longer exists at least unless something has changed recently? Now all of the free models have conditions that are not free there for the models are not free. As far as I can tell the only free model you can get is one free model after signing up after that you need a download ticket in order to grab a free model and that download ticket requires a purchase.

I'd have modified the Stand so I could screw in an M3x50mm Socket Head Cap Screw / Flat Heat Cap Screw through the length of the Peg acting as a Rebar.
