    easier tip. use the resin you printed the model with, fill a needle bottle with the resin. you can squeeze the bottle and have complete control in filling the seam. most of the time I can fill the gap so perfectly I don't need to sand.

  • @wadenvern

    you can use an old paintbrush dipped in water to smooth out the milliput. It works very similar to wetsanding. You can even get good enough at it to shape the milliput with the brush.

    Couple minor thing to add on, using your printer resin is great for shallow surface level filling, but for deeper groves using a clear resin will ensure that even if it seeps deep into the seam and you have a thicker layer it'll still cure properly. Also to get better adhesion with the putty or even the resin, give the surface a sanding so the putty stick to the model easily.
    Great video as always. Quick question, what do you use to actually glue pieces together? Super glue? Epoxie?

    • @Groundeffected
      @Groundeffected  2 роки тому +1

      This is why I left the dust in the crack to make stop the resin from flowing down into the crevasse. I find that milliput just likes to stick to me more than anything I want it to stick to. As for flying. Depends on the part but mostly I use superglue thick superglue and let it dry naturally. Epoxie if it’s a heavy load bearing part. I do make a video about what glues I use a while back. If you wanted to see.

    While I use Milliput for holes and print errors, to fill gaps I use matte varnish. Best hobby hack ever I might add. Just goop some on a fine brush and gently place (goop) the varnish in the gap. Let it dry and you while not filled, the gap is now sealed, so you repeat the process by gently applying more and let dry until the gap is flush. The varnish will always try to find a place to settle, so even if you over brush it will flatten out. Once happy sand and prime as usual. 🤟😎

      Different for different models. If the part fits nicely into a space that has say clothing or something that hides the seam then I’ll use magnets and paint it separately. But if it’s in a space that is like clear skin and need to be smooth I’ll glue it and fill it.
