It's incredibly easy and relatively cheap. For less than $300 for the full setup of printer, wash/cure station, and some resin, you have everything needed. Just grab the .STL file of the titan you want, resin of choice, slice and print.
@@deadlyapolloyeah dude I've got a printer, I've got a wash/cure station. I've got the files. Thanks for being condescending. I just don't have the money for all of the required resin. And right now the motivation for a large print.
Why are you printing them solid? You'd save a TOOOON of resin if you just cut it down to what's necessary, and they wouldn't be 12 frigging kg to schlep around. Would have been nice if you at least credited the artist who made that big old print so he could get exposure, after all...without him this video and its ad revenue don't exist.... Plus some of us would like the opportunity to print one too...lol
@@fuglaa4766 This is why you always have to look for these things yourself. Protecting the creators is the only way to make sure others have a chance of finding it in the future. You'll never find me naming the sources of my proxies.
Finding the STLs you want for 40k is criminally easy. I feel like people today are spoiled by how well search engines work, but spend even 5 minutes poking around and you'll find the files for a bunch of titans if you know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, then poking around reddit for 5 minutes and checking out community resources should bring you up to speed. These creators absolutely do NOT want to be credited for their work. Crediting them is the same as pinpoint projecting a cease and desist letter to them from GW.
9:00 This is the biggest thing I've learned from printing larger models, especially the ones you find for free; my ability to support, the speed that I can do it now and being able to see what will be easiest to clean off without damaging the model is something that is much harder to figure out on 28mm figures, but a couple monsters or vehicles and you learn a ton. Since I started 3d printing, I've actually come to enjoy printing as a hobby even more than painting, but not as much as kitbashing. Unfortunately kitbashing and printing both lead to painting, so...
You sharing the journey of 3D printing and talking about what went wrong is really helpful and inspiring. I am still struggling to print some larger models ... they print well except for step/layer lines. I see none on yours! Are there any tips you can share to get smooth surfaces?
@@battlebrothersamI wonder where you get the 3D models…I wanted to get started on the hobby, but living in Brazil is the hard mode for everything happiness related.
Take it to a gw store. Dare the employees to be able to tell the difference. Plus alot of em dont care as long as you do the old dont ask dont tell. The manager makes zero dollars from that purchase and a good one would rather have you in there buying paints than nothing at all.
While it may have been a pain in the klacker to get all of that done you survived your very own torture test. Not only do you get double bragging rights for the command of your own Titan Legion and the quest itself! After all you went threw you know you are a better 3D printer than before you started so it ends up being a win/win/win. Not to mention, YOU HAVE A TITAN LEGION!!! You can't get much cooler than that.
You mentioned that you mixed ‘Tough’ resin with ‘Standard’ resin - does this combination prints decently? I have both left over Though & Standard resins and thought about mixing them. At what ratio do you use - could you use 1 to 1 ratio? Thanks
I finished printing a ta'unar a month or two ago and that one was also just under 2l of resin. I used Sunlu ABS-like so i haven't experience any brittleness issues. However, i did try to hollow everything, and in the case of my 3 big guns i ended up plugging their drain holes a bit too early, apparently they hadn't perfectly cured. A month after printing, the guns started expanding and cracking at the bottom
Sooo... the issue isn't that you're super focused on a task. The issue is that you just need a bigger apartment/condo/house ;) next project idea, how much will it cost to buy some vacant land and 3D print a bigger house for my 3D printings :D Did you try Meshmixer for hollowing yet? Watch MakersMuse video on hollowing and adjust as needed. His sample is for an open bottom model but if you bypass the unnecessary steps, you can hollow and export for supporting and adding drain holes. I would link to the video but I'm not sure if you would approve that. The titans are looking awesome! Looking forward to seeing the Warlord completed!
Realistically.... anything, especially if you're willing to learn how to cut your own files in blender (which should only be a few minutes of tutorials, but a bit more work intensive.) Realistically to keep your sanity? Something like a Saturn would probably fit every part you'd need individually, and the bigger the plate the more parts you could do simultaneously of course.
@@eewweeppkk Yeah since this post I got access to the Maker Space at my work which has a pair of Sonic Mighty 8ks they let me use - firstly it's absolutely a hobby and skill in itself with a decent learning curve. Secondly having printed a Knight Porphyrion, I'm most definitely gonna get a Saturn 4 Ultra or similar printer when I get my own. I think the Porphyrion took about 8 plates, but with the amount of failures all I can say is I'm glad the resin at work is free! Although the crappy resin they use might be why I got so many failures..
I just have a little ol mono and a mono X 6K. I've printed a few warhounds on the mono and a warbringer on the X. Currently working on a warlord on the mono X. I bought both printers on Amazon Prime day (about a year apart). So you don't necessarily need the expensive printers. But I'm sure they do help
As much as I have loved this series, I am excited for you to jump into your next passion project with fresh joy. Keep with topics you love at the pace that works for you and I will support your content as it is your excitement for your projects which keep me coming back to this channel.
Would you happen to have a presupported STL for the titan. I'm new to printing and trying to setup supports is pretty daunting task for me. Specifically for the mars warlord titan
Your videos are really entertaining and informative! I've been teetering whether to get into resin printing as I've had mixed experience in the past with fdm, but this video has pushed me over the edge to get one 😊
honestly i printed that exact warhound model on my og elegoo mars and have had no issues cramming each part on the plate. although i might try printing partial parts on my ender 3 primarily the torso area mainly because of how heavy a pure resin titan can get. my current warhounds sits at about 2lbs.
i really want a wardog titan and maybe do other kinds in the future. im glad the downsides were mainly the same as the real one so i know printing one is a better option. im willing to risk possibly more frail over the 1000+$ cost
Why do none of the Warhammer 3D printing videos ever have links to where we can get the files? You've got links to everything imaginable, including your airbrush.. so we can get all the equipment to print this, but not where to get the files to actually print it.
Hey Sam, I have returned! Again with some pointers! 1) For the reasons listed in the video, and many more (which I'm sure you are already aware of) such as: difficulty pinning, difficulty drilling magnets, difficulty keeping intact, easy to break, slightly dense, hard to print, resin is bad for thine lungs, etc, I also do not currently recommend printing titans on resin. Even if an true "ABS-like" resin was to come into the conversation (They exist, but they are basically as strong as a weak PLA), I would still promote avoiding this route. 2) However! Printing titans with an FDM printer is an entirely different beast! Using different techniques, you can use standard PLA to create lighter, FAAAAAR more durable, Titans that can be practically thrown across the room (so long as you are fine with a small dent and pinning/gluing parts back together, i.e. those that snap at the glue joint) your model will most likely be fine. One of the first tests I did with printing the Warlord titan is I went outside to the concrete walkway up to the house, jumped up, and slammed down a failed Warlord Titan head... It had a small dent! :O 3) The downsides to doing an FDM titan print however, is that a) the detail isn't the same level, and b) it takes waaay more time. 4) However, to combat the cons is fairly easy: Just don't! Print your titans at 0.2 mm layer heights, this will create a more durable part, which is also incidentally the sweet spot for fast printing while retaining some decent detail. If you really are opposed to the layer lines, do some light post processing via sanding. Then put on a thick primer, paint away, and the model from 3 feet away looks perfectly fine, up close obviously you can tell it's 3D printed, but who cares? My Warhound Titan costed me $18 USD to print in PLA (cheaper now if you buy the 10 kg of PLA for $100, that would lower the price down closer to about $9 of material and $3 or so in electricity) and I took my time and enjoyed it! 5) I have dropped my Warhound... about 5 times. No base, hit at awkward and bad angles. Armour took the brunt, toes are all intact, etc. 6) More Pros! PLA is lighter, and you can make parts more hollow! On top of that, if you are good at 3D printing and now how to abuse tree supports on large models, you waste less material and now have background low-poly trees! ;D But in all seriousness, weight is something you don't account for until you do. According to GW, the Warlord is 6.8 KG or 15 pounds. From what I've gathered and heard, resin printed warlord seem to be about 4 pounds lighter so let's call it an even 10 pounds when all is said and done, because although some resins are denser than what FW puts out, a resin printed Warlord has hollow parts which can shed a lot of weight. However, a FDM printed Warlord Titan weighs much less. A warlord is supposed to weigh about 8-11 lbs depending on infill preferences and the such, and will take about 7 kg of PLA (a lot has to be sacrifice for support material) to print so normally $140, however with Elegoos great 10 kg for $99.99 deal (which should be a no-brainer because you get 3 more kg of PLA than 7 AND save $40, so go print yourself 2-3 warhounds for free!) it ends up being a fraction of the cost of a resin printed warlord, with none of the downfalls (except detail). Hope this helped somebody and was insightful! Have a good one people, time to go pass out! (Just got off work) Edit: My Warlord Titan is taking forever to print and approximately 8.1 kg but that's because I scaled up the model ever so slightly so that the Warlord Titan's expected height is 24 inches rather than the 20.98 or whatever the model/actual scale of a Warlord is. It helps hide the layer lines ever so slightly, and I get to claim my Warlord is *literally* bigger than yours! XD
Battle brother Sam, im about to start my Titan Legio journey also ( phrozen mega 8k S ) any chance you can send me some info to help me out? also what Resin do you recommend i use?? Thank you in advance
As someone who aspires to do 3d hobby printing at some point, I am wondering how FDM printers compare to resin for printing large but intricate vehicle models like this? What would be gained or lost in detail, weight, cost, or strength with FDM by comparison? Most of the comparisons tend to talk about huge FDM terrain pieces vs tiny resin models. How do they compare for midsize battlemech sorts of models, or all vehicle tabletop armies?
So I would suggest that literally all the draw backs you've listed are self imposed. Midwinter bought a real warlord and if I recall it took him a year start to finish. They are intended to be slow burn time consuming models so I'd say your still net positive here
The biggest thing I've printed is an Astreus and I thought that was a nightmare to hollow, support, and print. And then learn I didn't know how to support large models all that well because I'd never done anything that big before, and had to re-support and re-print about a third of the parts. That really started to feel like a chore and I can't even imagine trying to print a whole Titan Legion.
supporting took a lot longer than I thought and I already thought it was going to be long but lychee pro came in clutch being able to paint on supports
Imagine if they just sod official presupported stls for 200 bucks...yeah its not the 2000+ a warlord costs to huy officially but so many more people would be willing and able to play with such an amazing model
After reading the Title and not saw the Video i would guess, not even a 1/5 of the Official cost, but we have to consider to buy the STLs, the Resin, The Printer, and so on. My Final Guess would be around 1000.- with everything, Printer/Resin/Stls. Now iam going to watch :) Cruious! Edit: First guess wasnt that bad, Warhound would cost with everything, 1050.- Bucks (Swiss Bucks :D). Edit 2: That was pretty Interessing, it comes all down to the Question how much should the Printer cost. But what i really curious been about, is where did you got the Stls from? Would like to got a DM for that, just the Source. Thanks alot!
I printed my titans over a few months while I had nothing else I wanted to print more. It was really cheap compared to the actual price and I didn't get burnt out over it because I just did it when I did it. I used elegoo resin with 10% tenacious. I haven't painted them all yet, doing that slowly too.
heh, well, Titans arent currently on my list of "things to print" ......however, 28mm scale AT-AT's? and Battletech mechs? Yeah.....those are on hte list X_X
As someone who owns a GW made Warlord Titan, the prints you have do look a higher quality than GW's own resin however the breakages you've had especially on the Reaver i know for a fact wouldnt occur on a GW made one, while the resin might warp and you get nasty airbubbles and mold lines, the actual models so long as you dont drop them on a hard surface are fairly durable things especially when moving them around...like I took my warlord over a mile in my rucksack with little to no bubble wrap or protection (which was extremely stupid i admit) and only one piece broke off, though it was the superglue that had actually came off rather than the piece breaking
So the reasons to not print it are... You burned yourself out... And they are big... Just like the store models. And the reasons to print, is just across a couple models your save 4k in cash... Even if you have to buy the printer. Real bait and switch into...

To be honest it looks like with a bambulabs a1 you can get good enough detail to just do it out of PLA!

A fun challenge would be seeing if you could print one of every kill team, how mutch would it be compared to buying them and wich one is the cheapest.
lol thats in my book of ideas! I need to first find out what the kill teams are!

How long does it take to print
How much time you spent to print single titan?
question where do you get those files they look amazing
what about 3D printing small models?
like space marines?
Could you please tell me the name of the Gold you are using for the Trims?
Where do you get the files for the Titans?
It’s why for titans you should really use pla. It’s slightly less detailed but about a fraction of the cost.
Hope you can now put this behind you, it really did look hard work. Still brilliant work now for something a bit easier..... Tau Manta?😊
Hello, does anyone know where I can find the files?
I think I'm going to wait for 3D resin printing to be a bit easier before I try printing a titan. I will do it eventually but just not now.
Is siraya tech fast abs-like a good resin to use on titans? Great video
That's what I use and it's much stronger than standard resin
My only complaint with my warlord I’m printing is that it’s just got some fitment issues and I wish that the files were sliced better
Does anyone here know if he puts the stl files on his patron I want to subscribe but I was just curious
Oh im gonna 3d print a titan its a right of passage at this point
May I ask how to obtain this 3D printing file
cults!
@@battlebrothersam I couldn't find any of the videos. Can you provide a link
Where do you get those STLs???
cults
@@battlebrothersamwhats it called
Do you design your own models?
Anyone abke to help me figure out where to get this file?
Can do but it will be unsupported.
@@amproper1165 I'm fine with tha
cults
@@battlebrothersam sadly it is no longer there and seems to have been nuked a few months ago
Hollowing models is easy in Meshmixer; there are great tutorial videos on UA-cam.
Thanks for the tip!
Well if a gluten for punishment, could try for the Warmaster Titan.
Imagine if they just sod official presupported stls for 200 bucks...yeah its not the 2000+ a warlord costs to huy officially but so many more people would be willing and able to play with such an amazing model
that's too forward thinking brother lol
After reading the Title and not saw the Video i would guess, not even a 1/5 of the Official cost, but we have to consider to buy the STLs, the Resin, The Printer, and so on. My Final Guess would be around 1000.- with everything, Printer/Resin/Stls.
Now iam going to watch :) Cruious!
Edit: First guess wasnt that bad, Warhound would cost with everything, 1050.- Bucks (Swiss Bucks :D).
Edit 2: That was pretty Interessing, it comes all down to the Question how much should the Printer cost.
But what i really curious been about, is where did you got the Stls from? Would like to got a DM for that, just the Source. Thanks alot!
Honestly lad if you make a dnd episode that would be mint. Like scenery or a band of npcs. Hell heroforge might do a sponsor if you ask em.
I've always wanted to get into DnD, not a bad shout
I printed my titans over a few months while I had nothing else I wanted to print more. It was really cheap compared to the actual price and I didn't get burnt out over it because I just did it when I did it. I used elegoo resin with 10% tenacious. I haven't painted them all yet, doing that slowly too.
great video brother
And it's a badge of honor! 😂
files?
heh, well, Titans arent currently on my list of "things to print" ......however, 28mm scale AT-AT's? and Battletech mechs? Yeah.....those are on hte list X_X
those are definitely a lot easier to print!
What the fuck is wrong with those games workshop prices? 124 dollars for a missile pod? That is insane.
where are you getting your 3d models from??
Shouldn't you be factoring in IPA cost as well?
I could be but I could also add in the cost of gloves etc.. I just wanted to focus on the resin usage
You haven't done the imperator yet ;-)
Man where can I go to get me some titan love
cults!
Don´t worry i will print a Titan because im a sucker for pain!
And i want a Titan, the warhammer addiction is getting real!
Well Done. 😀😀😀 A great job.
I'm printing one just to print one
As someone who owns a GW made Warlord Titan, the prints you have do look a higher quality than GW's own resin however the breakages you've had especially on the Reaver i know for a fact wouldnt occur on a GW made one, while the resin might warp and you get nasty airbubbles and mold lines, the actual models so long as you dont drop them on a hard surface are fairly durable things especially when moving them around...like I took my warlord over a mile in my rucksack with little to no bubble wrap or protection (which was extremely stupid i admit) and only one piece broke off, though it was the superglue that had actually came off rather than the piece breaking
Anyway average Joe can nab the files?
When your plastic toy literally costs more than the machine that produces it. Your margins are too high.
A Warhound for 1600$ and a Reaver vor 1400$?! Sure?
I didn't speak clearly I meant because it was my 2nd warhound the 2 cost $1600 but I either didnt say it in recording or cut it by accident
@@battlebrothersam ah, ok. Thank you. I just finished my first Warhound. I love it. Do you know, where to find a knight?
So if you just wanted to print one titan
Where is your accent from?
So the reasons to not print it are... You burned yourself out... And they are big... Just like the store models. And the reasons to print, is just across a couple models your save 4k in cash... Even if you have to buy the printer.
Real bait and switch into...
DO IT IN AUS Dollars!
it would be extortionate
@@battlebrothersam but great!
