    You know, I tried the fdm slicer, and the print was amazing. But a 2 hour print via cura took 15 hours in lychee. I tried again and matched the settings 1-1 from what cura, and it took 12 hours still. Something is weird about this fdm slicer that's causing prints to take abnormally long.

  • @FreelancerND
    @FreelancerND Місяць тому

    Yep, everyone is going to their own fitting "style", so to say. I ended up with always using black primer from Mr.Hobby, then gray/white slapchop preshading and then Speedpaints 2.0 or Vallejo Xpress paints. Some parts are ending just as I like them, the rest I finish with highlighting, layering and other thingies but with regular acrylics, not contrast types. Tried to add airbrush (I was painting armor for decades, of course I have one =) ), but for minis I find it way too troublesome, taking painting booth, compressor, airbrush, cleaning it all afterwards... As I am working from home, I have all my stuff not to far from my PC, so sometimes I just pick a couple of brushes and minis and paint stuff during some stupid online call =)

      Awesome thank you. As far as cost, I used just over 4 litres of resin for this print. Which is ALOT of 32mm models for the same amount of resin. As for dollar cost well I will let you plug in what a 1 litre bottle of resin (that you use) would cost.

    Since I use my printers mainly for functional prototypes, I was more interested in plate size over resolution. After looking into a number of options, I chose the Mono X 6Ks since it provides a nice plate size and a reasonable 6K-ish resolution of 34 microns and it's been a real workhorse. With it nearing EOL on the LCD panel, I'm looking at options for budgeting and this may be my next choice.

    I'm always disappointed in the warping and ill-fitting parts in builds like this. Is that something inherent to resin printing? I was really hoping that the minute detail achievable would translate into dimensional accuracy - but that rarely seems to be the case, unfortunately.

    • @upskillinglife
      @upskillinglife 4 місяці тому

      Yea, it seems to be inherent of any multi part project. I find it's not such an issue for single piece prints (complete model) or 32mm scale pieces as the area that can warp is pretty minimal. I have heard some people achieve pretty good results glueing the pieces before curing, but personally, I don't like the idea of glueing uncured resin. It's one downside over FDM but it makes up for it with such fine details on the models themselves.

    About layer lines, i use printers for making master moulds for coasters and coaster holders. I then coat the moulds in 2-part epoxy resin, which dries in around 24 hours and gives a very smooth finish. My parts are simple, square or circular so for your detailed objects you'd have to paint the resin on, and i'm not sure what paint you'd use to colour them afterwards, although i think acrylic paint can be used on epoxy resin. I need a smooth finish on my 3d printed parts because i then use silicone rubber to make the final mould and it has to be shiny so that the final resin part is shiny.

    • @upskillinglife
      @upskillinglife 5 місяців тому

      It sounds like you have your process sorted out! I tend to use the fdm for functional prints like dice towers where the paint job is secondary. Or busts etc that I either don't want to paint or will just use a rattle can or airbrush. I have had great results airbrushing acrylic Ink straight on to white filament. Then I have my resin printer for detailed prints or display pieces. I am pretty stoked to have both options, now that my FDM printer is fast.

      I've been using the default profile but am generally using 60mm/s on the first layer and as my general default slow speed (for bridging, etc... and anything I think should be slow) and then upping the speed to 300 mm/s for infill, etc.... I'm still playing around with my speeds, but I haven't been game to run it at max speed yet. I have tried the sports mode a few times, once the print has been running. That increases the speed again, but I've only done this once a good base layer has been achieved.

    Some of the colors just cracks all the time. Like on your video here. Bad quality

    I used that exact same rustoleum primer on plastic minis and after 24 hour dry time I had major cracking issues but on the back of the can it says it takes 5 to 7 days to fully bond to plastic and sure enough after 5 days of Ietting the primer dry i had no issues with cracking of any kind even when applying a very liberal amount of the 2.0 speedpaint and even the ones that cracked the worst on the 24 hour model were perfectly fine on the 5 day dry time models

      Hey that's great, thanks! I will give this a try, on a chess set I am working on. I really wanted a speedy job, so a rattle can prime and speed paint finish will work great. Cheers. Great work actually reading the can instructions!!

    Classic fire mistake mate. Fire goes from yellow shadow to red tips not the other way round.

      Cheers bro, yea I was well aware of the flame colour, (first flame I ever painted I googled to check flame colours to check) but I made a choice to go the other way around. After completing this video I saw a picture of the same model, painted yellow core to red tips and am happy with my choice ... visually. Thanks for pointing that out to the other viewers though! 👍

    Appreciate you taking us on your learning journey. Loving the results, models look great. I'm curious as to how long the oil paint took to dry? Realise temp and humidity play a role. Keep up the good work.

      In reality I picked up the model after 4 days and still got a little paint on my finger but it was basically dry by then. It is winter where I am at the moment though.

    I didn't know of a 2.0, that sucks I have the first batch.

      Don't worry too much, there are only three colours from the first version that is repeated in the second version.

    Putting a "coat" in between the primer and the paint completely defeats the point of a primer....

    Elementals have always been so goddamn boring to me, no matter what IP they're in. These are the first that I've seen that actually look like something cool, with personality. Subscribed, excited to see more stuff like this :D

      Yea, these models look fantastic. I'm looking forward to experimenting with the other 3 models. Thanks for subscribing, and I hope you enjoy the next ones in the series. I hope to have a play with some oil paints and washes as well.

    Real shame, fix one issue and create another. Less contrast than 1.0 as well. Great to those who can use them without issue but I will pass on these as well.
