- On this episode of Crazy Will Tech I show you how to airbrush 3D prints, the basics. Last time I show you guy how to paint 3D prints well after 60,000 views I think I got the message lol. So I put together a video on how to use an airbrush on your 3D prints in some cases it's faster but what I real love about it is that shading you can only get with airbrush. It really bums you're at work to the next level. I chose baby Groot for this tutorial because he's basically two colors and its a good demonstration of highlights and shadows that we can airbrush really nicely on this model. So grab a coffee popcorn or anything else you like to snack on my watch I want to while watching a tutorial, And let me show you the basics of airbrushing.
I don't make money on these links just trying to help.

Amazing results, you're the Bob Ross of 3d models!
Thanks ☺️
Just got into airbrushing, my buddy just bought a 3D printer. Been looking for a video like this for days, and yours fit the bill perfectly. Thanks man!
That means a lot to me thanks 😊
Without a doubt, one of the best airbrushing tutorials for beginners on youtube. I'm about to dive in and I've watched this video 3 times already. Thank you for this
Thanks that means a lot to me.
Thanks for the awesome content.
About to get into the hobby and I'm excited!!
Thanks! It an extremely fun and frustrating hobby. lol
Never heard Anime called Oriental Cartoon before
Lol trying not to be racist lol 😂
@@CrazyWillTechShow hahaha
@@CrazyWillTechShow it’s actually very racist to term asian animation (anime, etc) oriental …
@@user-wg5ul6ib4e What can I say I'm not WOKE.
Lmao oriental cartoon. That’s great. He didn’t mean any harm, chill the fuck out
That wolverine is 🔥
I’m about to dive into this hobby and your videos are soooo helpful!!
You’ll love it and your shelf will be as filled as mine.
A useful tip for some, I usually adjust my needle so that it's making the finest line Id be able to get by pulling it back. That way all I have to do when doing extremely fine details is just put the air on. It can add little dots though if you let too much paint go through
Never thought of that that is a good tip. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks 😊
Great tutorial. Been 3D printing for a while but just now trying to learn to paint them. Although I wish you would set your focus manually instead of leaving on auto-focus.
Great tutorial. You are anything but crazy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man really appreciate it!
I really wish I would have known that "Crazy Will Tech Show" actually meant "Lower Your Volume Before Watching Will Tech Show"....but definitely a great tutorial! I thank you, good sir for all the help!
Lol 😂 sorry! I’ve since changed my beginning of my video. Just trying to get the blood pumping before we get into it.
yeah, !! Boy you're so right, I'm 60 and love rock and boy that hit me hard!! Once you get rid of the glasses and initial "gang style" waffle he's an excellent tutor.
Just starting, but yes the Wolverine is amazing, and already agree with things so hope this will be a good video..... Hope you have more, someone gave it to me after I ranted about painting and POST work to Bambu Only people in 3D Print rooms. They have no clue about POST WORK, and they will be stuck to filament colors only, where as painting, you can have a Draft print become an amazing piece of art.
Nice airbrush work!
I appreciate it thanks !
thanks for this video, so helpful!
Thanks for letting me know that means a lot to me.
im about to get my first resin printer and i collect anime figures. finding them is hard so i am going to be printing them and man i am so excited! but my worry is the painting process, you've made me feel so much more confident watching this video. thank you. im still worried i may screw it up but if i do, ill just prime and start over. again, thank you
That awesome! So glad I helped you with your journey. Don’t worry about messing up you’re going to. It’s how you get creative fixing the mistakes, that what makes you good.
Wow, good work.
Thank you! I really hope that helps.
Thats a Really Nice Looking Nasty Impulse you got in that display case!
Good eyes ....You know your paintball guns.
Didn't come here for the WD40 trick but glad I saw that. I always have to soak the tips and needle in laquer thinner before starting since I don't airbrush much.
Lol everybody’s got their tricks! That’s why I watch everyone.
@@CrazyWillTechShow The wd40 doesn't effect the paints?
@@crushingvanessa3277 know as he cleans the brush before using it as should you, because of the psi it will atomise the residual WD40 and eject it into the paper, then by washing the airbrush several times as in his video that would get rid of any remaining WD40.
Remember that WD40 is not oil, its merely a water displacement product and any traces of paraffin or other very fine petroleum products that are in WD40 would be emulsified by the cleaning water. Of course if you just airbrush without the initial clean it will mess the paint. Hope that helps.
@@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924 Thanks for the info, didn't know how wd40 was made up. So many people spray it on things to lubricate them then wonder why it's not working.
Excellent entry level tutorial, thank you...
3D printer resin is great for smoothing your prints , you can also use 3d resin for clear coating, on any product be it wood, metal plastic , anything just make sure you cure it well and IPA wash it later, again apply with an airbrush, perhaps not you best one!! It's an excellent lacquer that is fixed forever and won't tarnish like clear coat does over time.
Some really good sage advice and tips in this vid, you dont need to spend a fortune on kit(Ç apart from a good airbrush that is!! But start with a entry level one to see if its for you before you splash out and mind the fakes if you do ...
Over here in europe I use high pressure sprayers for acrylic paint, thats at 250 bar
or 3650 PSI serious high pressure and what we find is with this type of paint the molecules in the paint forms strings and grows to several centimetres in length, this eventually goes solid in the gun and blocks it even at this pressure, the only solution to this is in the handle of the gun is a fine matrix wire filter, that removes about 95% of these chains, because we use pressure and not air to spray I dont know if this is why an airbrush clogs, quite possibly. if you can get a pre filter do so,.
As the man says install a water drain off point or much better is to install a air dryer at the compressor end , it will collect the water there and stop it coming up to the gun completely.
They are not expensive and make your finish much better and stops spluttering altogether.
Thanks again, you should mention that there are a lot of clones of your airbrush so dont be tempted to buy one as they are not good. Get one if you can from a authorised dealer, they come certificated now so you can check its genuine. Avoid Ali Express and or eBay , even Amazon sells the clones. if its cheap its crap. Thanks again, very useful video.
Thanks I I have actually tried that… with powder added to it.
@@CrazyWillTechShow that’s a good idea . It’s s that used as a pigment or a glittery look please? Keep up with the vids!! They are good thanks
nice work!
Thanks 😁
Great job. Just an fyi, they sell flock for model railroads and such. I wonder how it would’ve looked if you used the flock instead of just the green paint. Would’ve given it a little texture too! Just food for thought on future projects
That really good idea thank I’ll give it a try.
great video
Thank you! I was afraid it was too long.
Looks great. I seem that you had some tip drying issues. Bout still a great job 👏
Yeah kept it in there so people could learn from my mistakes. Could’ve edit it out and made it look like I knew what I was doing lol 😂
@@CrazyWillTechShow
I have been there before too lolol
Question I am brand new to 3D printing I am doing a big baby Groot do I sand the whole groot? I was worried if I sand it I would I lose the detail?
I would just do a light Sand nothing crazy just something for the paint to stick on.
If only I got 1 dollar for every 3d print panting video that suggests using this Rust Oleum filler primer that is nowhere to be found in South America, I'd have enough to fly to the states, buy some and get back.
Lol really good stuff. There’s a shortage here I can’t find it anywhere either only online and it $15 a bottle. There’s other primer fillers out there. I might have to try.
For very small parts that have small details, is it possible to airbrush on the primer instead of using a spray can?
Yes but I haven’t used it yet.
do i have to prime before i airbrush? if so can i just use a rustoleom spray primer?
Yes you do that what I used in the video.
there's also primer for putting in your airbrush, if you don't wanna deal with cans.
but you should use *some* kinda primer, otherwise your paint will likely flake off the plastic rather easily.
What do you use to stick the model to the paint can top ?
Funtek I showed in the video.
I got my Photon Mono X coming. Bro my screen protector is not coming until August. Please pray I am not tempted to print until my screen protector comes. I don't want to jack up the monochrome screen.
Lol never used a screen protector🤷♂️… probably should those screens are expensive.
How did you do the air compressor adapter?
Bring your hose to Harbor freight they have A bunch of adapters and there the cheapest.
@@CrazyWillTechShow Do they crimp on or just screw on? Thanks!
Just screw on make sure you use thread seal tape.
@@CrazyWillTechShow thanks man!
Great content bro but please upgrade your lighting.
that's an extremely wet "dry brushing" you did there with the hair...
there anyway get the STL to the cup?
cup?
What is this 1950? "Oriental Cartoon" SHEEEEEESH
Can you use that on wood filament too ???
I believe so haven’t printed and wood yet. Do you like it? Any hurdles?
@@CrazyWillTechShow I 3D printed a baby Groot, and the only problem that I have had so far is that the supports were not strong enough to stand up by themselves if they are small and in only one spot. i have a .04 nozzle that I am using and haven't had a clogged nozzle, yet. It sure does look really cool. oh, yeah, there sure was a lot of stringing too
Can you stay in it? That would look cool if you could. I’m eventually going to buy that stuff and do a video on it.
@@teslafanboy7826 i'm 100% sure you don't have a 0.04mm nozzle though ;)
@@CrazyWillTechShow Little late here but just the same. Use a 0.06 nozzle, the 4s will clog like nobody's business with wood filaments. I did a foot tall baby groot in wood which im going to paint (thank you for the video) similarly to yours, and the .04 clogged every time. At least 10-15 failures before I gave up and went to a larger nozzle. No issues at 0.06mm.
Song at 13:10? lol
I tried for weeks but my figures looks like crackwhores seems i got no talent for this🤔
Patients and practice.
What did you use to prime the 3d print?
I like rust oleum primer filler. Hard to fine right now.
@@CrazyWillTechShow Thanks for the response. I thought you had said that but I couldn't find it in the video. I just re-watched it and saw where you had said it lol. Thanks for answering :D -- Great work btw, I am going to buy an air brush soon and I am printing groot as I type this :D
That awesome very fun models. Airbrushing makes a lot more fun. It’s challenging at first but once you get the hang of it makes it a lot easier. My setup is not the best but it works lol.
Rip yoko
I had a bad start with airbrushing. Bought dualaction set for 25 euro, with and 21 euro Fengda AS-200 compressor. I had i had paint my self. Thinned to milk. Nothing comes out. Needle is okay. Goes forward and back and have tension. Tried everything, but in the end i saw a little spray, when the paint was almost watery (beyond milk). So it should flow, but it didnt. Nozzle and openings were ok. Maybe this Fenga AS-200 thingy is to weak. Looks more like a big aquarioum air compressor.
Is it airbrush paint? The stuff is formulated to be thin and not fast drying. That’s why I ask.
@@CrazyWillTechShow ye, its acryl paint waterbased in 20mil bottles.
@@Oxizee are you using an airbrush thiner? what PSI are you using? If the paint not designed for airbrush it my not flow right and clog the airbrush. I like to use 25 PSI so I get some more push.
@@CrazyWillTechShow The pump it says it runs at 2 bar. But i really doubt that. The shop gived me an Saloon Air Compressor, which can be regulated between 0 and 4 bar (60 psi). I Putted it on 30 psi, and the airbrush worked now. The old pump i returned to the shop.
I knew it had to be something like that. either paint or airflow. Thanks for keeping me updated.
Why do you explain to people that you’re not getting anything? I’ll just leave a link below.
Because everybody thinks I’m trying to grab money like all the rest of the UA-camrs. If the shit works, I recommend it.
This is cool and all, but you'll want to wear a mask or respirator. You don't want to be inhaling this stuff once it's aerosolized. It'll seriously hurt you over time, especially if you're using solvents or alcohol-based stuff.
Heartattack intro
Lol sorry
Nine and a half minutes of bullshit before he actually starts on Groot for anyone that hasn't got time to hear his airbrushing life story lol. Thanks for the video
you lost me after only three seconds... terrible..
