Amazing video. Not only printed a whole set, but reviewed creators along the way, assembled all minis and painted them. And provided a machine review on top of that. Most youtubers would split this into 3 - 5 videos. This is top quality and should see more exposure within 3d printing community.
Thank you very much!
And for that reason alone, I like and subscribe. A truly rare event. 😊
To be fair he didn’t print the box or the manual so he failed the challenge
Found this video by accident. Was not disappointed! You reached the point in your UA-cam life I still aim for! AWESOMELY produced btw!
Thanks! And good luck in your own UA-cam journey. I dunno if it helps but for me the trick seems to be absolutely murdering myself with the amount of work that goes into every video haha.
Lol that remark around the 7:30 mark, i 100% agree with, i literally unboxed my saturn 3, leveled the plate, dialed the resin in, and have been non stop printing for 3 months, no adjustments besides throwing a heater in the room it prints. Its a science that has been well documented and easy to follow along with. Not an art in itself.
I agree with your assessment of "not a hobby". I've had a AnyCubic for a couple years now and I have just run gallons of resin through it with little to no messing around with it. I have to change the FEP occasionally and the standard "cleaning out the vat" chores, but aside from that it's just another consumer electronic device. One of the wonders of 3D printers is how much they just work.
It really can be all smooth sailing once you're up and running with a calibrated profile! Presupported files permitting lol. Thanks for your comment :)
Wow, that mini rater project looks awesome. I hope it takes off! I don't print often enough to contribute meaningfully, but it's a damn cool idea, and I will continue to applaud every effort to improve the quality of pre-supported files we get.
I hope so too! Thanks for watching :)
@@OnceinaSixSide Honestly the biggest challenge to rating stuff is I always run island checks in the slicer, add any missing supports and use UV tools to fix minor errors. I genuinely have no idea if the stuff would have printed correctly without all that and I know UV tools frequently has false positives.
@@Balyrion Ah that is a great point! Well the fact your finding those problems and having to do that extra work would knock a creator back to A Tier at least, but yeah determining B Tier gets trickier then.
@@Balyrion maybe get in the habit of printing first to check? You could become a major contributor, and help mini makers improve!
I have no idea what caused it but there's so much top tier 3D Print and Hobby content coming out of nowhere. Great job!
Your production values are unmatched in this hobby space. Fantastic work as always, and you 100% deserve more viewership.
Love your quick and efficient paint schemes; I agree with you in that the little bit of extra time to do the rough edge highlights really paid off. Great stuff.
Thank you! Yeah I love the way these minis turned out and it was totally worth the extra effort :)
@@OnceinaSixSide how the heck did you get a 3D printer from Elegoo for free? How do I find 3D printer hobbyists near me?
25:37 "The rules, sir." *Plops OPR on the table and flings the dude*
Amazing video; the filming, editing, soundtrack and storytelling is just incredibly well done.
This is the only video of yours I've watched, and you've earned yourself a subscriber! Awesome production quality and I love the style of your videos
Awesome, thank you!
I 2nd this
I have watched this so many times now as I start my journey into resin printing. Thanks so much for making this!!!
Haha awesome! Glad to hear the video inspires :D
Usually I'll just watch a video I'm interested in and leave.
Couldn't not like, subscribe and comment on this one. Such high quality content.
So I just got into printing, especially minis, and this video is amazing-- I learned about new websites, stuff about my own printer, and the review system you have is straight up bonkers amazing dude. Instant sub, keep up the amazing work!
First time I see any of your videos and I learned more than ever about 3D printing in one comprehensive video. I haven't printed anything for a while, but you brought me back into the hobby.
Great to hear! Happy printing :D
Thank you so much for the kind words and the great video!
Your video is an invaluable resource for the 3D printing community :D
Great production quality on this video. I have rewatched this a few times because not only is the content great, but it is a delight to watch.
You continue to be absolutely killing it on sound design! Thanks for the attention to detail in your content creation!
Awesome! Great content, I don’t even play 40k or have a 3d printer but love watching people make things
Thanks! Glad to hear the video being enjoyed by a wider audience
Another great video. Love that you include a bit of painting as well.
Phenomenal video man!
Honestly, your content is such a joy. Gorgeous camera work, snazzy 3D segments, and smooth audio.
You think about the viewer too! You've clearly put thought into the pacing, and it pays off. Really kept me interested throughout.
It's so satisfying to see a project from start to finish. Going from resin to a board of painted minis is inspiring, makes me want to whip up a project.
Keep doing what you're doing man! I'm so glad I found your channel :))
Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it, I had a tonne of fun making this one :D
I've tried a couple Mars 3 for my business, and at this point theirs no way I can recommend it. First one had a squeaky Z Axis and lasted a couple weeks before the motor gave out and I sent it back. 2nd one I got last month and it arrived as a dud.
Just do yourself a favor, get a Mars 2S. About 50 bucks cheaper, pretty easy to find for 180 bucks. It lasts for a lot longer and the quality and build size is about the same as the Mars 3. You'll get about 4 months out of the screen as a power user, and while the screen is 1080p, you really don't lose much detail even at small sizes.
If you're looking to spend more, just grab the Saturn. Though I'd recommend starting with the Mars 2S. This is because Elegoo has a factory warranty on most things up to 6 months. So when a part inevitably fails, hit up Elegoo and they'll send you a new part. If you fix these yourself you'll learn a ton and it helps to know how to replace a screen on a cheaper model before trying it on a 500 dollar Saturn without prior experience.
Long read but hopefully worth it for whoever wants to get into resin printing. My only advice is to not go in thinking this is an Easy Bake Oven, it a machine you're gonna dial in and repair. It's messy and frustrating but super rewarding with the tangible results you get, especially when you make your own 3d models.
Oh and print in a garage, the fumes will irritate your throat if their just floating around a room. The resin isn't really all that toxic to the touch, so bare hands is fine just wash up with soap before going out in the sun or that resin is gonna cure on your hands and burn like hell.
TLDR: You can be rough on these, just know how to fix it, and hit up Elegoo if you have problems. Mars 2S > Mars 3 for newbies, and be patient. It's gonna go wrong, a lot. Thanks for whoever read this book.
I have an Anycubic photon mono 2. I am blown away by resin 3d printing. It’s amazing at how this machine can print just about anything with no he amounts of detail it produces. I haven’t had to mess with the settings at all and I have had perfect prints on about everything that I have printed. I have had only 2 failed prints on this machine and that was my fault, lol. I had corrupted files, go figure. But with that being said it is well worth the money to get one of these machines be it Anycubic or any other brand. I encourage it thoroughly.
your editing and comedy skits are incredible
Cheers! :D
Mars 3 Pro is great! Really happy with mine and the only issue I can think of after 4 months of usage is: there is no way I'll be able to clean the UV cover from these nasty resin/IPA stains. UVtools is a must have for sure!
Just got recommended this channel. Cant believe you have only 7k subscribers. I smell a good fortune for you my lad! Cheers! Mr. Nurgle sends some GROW regards.
Much appreciated!
This video was absolutely outstanding! Actually getting ready to 3D print all these pieces now... Especially those guard proxies, they're so damn cool!
How you only have 8k subs blows my mind. I honestly loved every second of this video, keep up the amazing work!
Wow, thank you! Glad you like it :D
Great vid!! Terrain looks amazing, might have to check that out. I knew Puppets Wars stuff rocks - glad you agree!!
Absolutely every resin 3d printer NEEDS a flexplate. I gone one and have never gone back. I got mine from Wham Bam and totally recommend them.
"Resin isn't a hobby of itself"
(-Posibility of shotty supports needing even more cleanup on the mini)
-Needs a curing station
-Needs a washing station
-Resin is toxic only to be handled by gloves
- A whole setup will run you around 600$
- Very space intensive
It is absolutely a hobby in itself, don't make it look to be as easy to pick up as a fda printer with some filament
Awesome video and the quality and editing is amazing and so too is the information given 🙂
Thank you good sir!
Wow! Where has this channel been all my life!
You've found it now that's all that matters! :D
For a small channel you are putting out super high quality stuff
Thank you so much for showing the terrain, I've been looking for a suitable proxy and thought the same for myself, they're good, but they don't feel quite right, but this kickstarter looks amazing!
Glad I could help!
This video will be at 100k views by this time next year. Very high quality content.
Love this video. Watched it and finally decided to bite the bullet and get a resin printer. Got the Mars 3 Pro because it seemed to do well in this vid. Been using it with Siraya Tech Fast ABS-like grey resin and haven't had much issues beyond the initial setup. Funnily enough I've started looking into doing what this vid did, making a Kill Team starter box.
It’s not that it’s a hobby in itself, it’s that you need a separate, well ventilated space that’s only for 3D printing. It’s that most of the materials you’re working with are really really nasty. The risks are very real. The fumes, the resin, the alcohol, the mess. That’s why I walked away before I started.
Fair concerns to have! I actually made a whole video about those fumes and making it safe in a shared space. The point I was trying to make is that it doesn't have to be this thing that consumes a lot of time or energy. It can be as easy as just slicing files and hitting print.
These are great points. I love the results I'm getting, but there's a LOT of icky cleanup and maintenance, even when you get to the stage where you know what you're doing.
I think we have a responsibility to make it clear to people that you're not buying a replicator from Star Trek when you buy a printer. 3D printing is an investment in time and money.
The "it's a hobby in itself" message is an easily-understandable shorthand for this. I'm glad I was warned what to expect, and it certainly tallies with my personal experience.
Resin printing is not a hobby on its own, but FDM printing is and many people (including myself) got a resin printer to accent their FDM one so they rope it all together
This video is great :))
Keep this up! Your production quality is perfect and improving. You are helping my printing experience by saving me time! Thx!
Great to hear it!
Wow, i'm pretty impressed by the quality of the form of your content considering your channel is still quite small. Good job
don't know anything about the 40k series or 3d printing bit I watched the whole thing, your video is amazing quality for a channel your size
Thanks! Awesome to hear :D
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be watching more. I have an Elegoo Mars 3 so many of your comments, particularly the fan-off firmware upgrade, are things I want to know 👍
One suggestion, mention the layer height that you used to print the different components. For example, was everything, walls and minis, printed using the same layer height, or did you go big for the terrain?
Subscription ticked.
Awesome! Thank you! For the settings it's all just default other than the exposure time, so 0.05mm.
Those minis look very good for a 50 micron layer height.
I forgot to mention in the original comment; I’m eager to see your video on installing flexible build plates on a resin printer. I’ve used one on my FDM printer for nearly 5 years but never really thought of using them for the resin printer, but watching how easy you removed prints has sold me on the idea.
The video quality is so good i just want to watch and watch and watch
This video is outstanding. I appreciate all the work you put into it, and also for answering the question, "What's required for non-cardboard tabletop gaming?" We see here the rules, two different kill-teams, some great terrain, and a little painting infoz.
I learned a LOT about 3D printing from this single video! Subscribed after 10 minutes of watching it! Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Awesome, thank you! :D
That project of minirater is INSANE, thats it im getting a resin printer!.
Like @5az2 said, the end-to-end review process and fantastic production value (lighting, video quality, not recording on a headset mic in a room that's so echo-y it sounds like you're in a quarry) really elevates this above other channels. Subbed, and definitely looking through your back catalog. Str8 gr8 m8, I r8 it 8/8
Great video! I come from the Gundam side of the plastic crack addiction and am very new to minis. The thing I'd love to see with minis is part separation(gold trim separated from the rest of the armor on chaos models) and snap building, a.k.a. push to fit. If there are any 3D printing creators out there that do offer such products I'd love for you to review them so I can later support them. Cheers!
Look up Toymakr 3D. He makes 3d printable gunpla kits. Mainly Power Rangers, but also anime like Macross and cartoons like Transformers. You assemble them in bits just like Gunpla and they're really fun. You do have to support each piece individually if you do it in resin like I'm doing.
You absolutely knocked it out of the park on this one
Cheers! Hope I can do it again next time :)
Your channel is what this hobby needed
I didn't know I needed a magnetic build plate until the first time you popped it off the magnetic part. Ordered it absolutely immediately.
They're the single greatest upgrade for resin printing! Here's the key to success with it: Clean your build plate with IPA and paper towels THOROUGHLY prior to installation, then sand like you see me do in this video with 240grit, and clean again with IPA, then sand a bit more, then clean again. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes to an hour, and then install the magnet. Finally, resist the urge to print anything for 24 hours to give your magnet the best possible chance of never coming loose!
@@OnceinaSixSide Thank you, I shall do so! I'm guessing it took you a minute to figure those instructions out!
@@sicariusdracus A minute and some headaches lmao
The production quality of this video is amazing. I can't wait to see how your channel grows!
Firstly, I'm pleased I'm a member on your buy me a coffee so I got the early sneak preview/behind the scenes, was awesome and I'm pleased to see the edited video too!
Great content as always! More importantly thanks for your ongoing to push to hold creators to a decent standard and make it easier than ever to get into the hobby, I often hear it's a hobby in itself to learn 3D printing and it's refreshing to hear about it from your point of view that it's tool maintenance which I'd agree with.
Sure, you can dive in more if you want and make it a hobby, but if you just want to use it to lower the cost of minis then it can be that too.
Keep it up dude.
Thank you my friend, it means a lot :) Resin printing really can be dead simple
0:49 dang that's attractive terrain.
3d printing is not a hobby in itself. Oh and here I am spending a week printing this set and luckily had no failures or common problems, with loads of experience and knowlege on the subject. Anyone could do this.
Lmao my point was the printer spent a week doing everything, I barely did a thing. I got to spend that week working on minirater! :D
I love the quality of this video. Really interesting!
Fellow Aussie Dark Gods here - Awesome video. I really need to paint up some terrain for my own table at home. I'd love to design a skirmish team at some point also. Presupporting is difficult, I both love and hate that the market shifted to be all presupported. Love that it is easy to download my favourite creators prints and throw them on instantly, but hate how difficult it can be to keep up and compete as a one man operation for the most point with how many hats I have to wear to get these models out haha. Especially when we are almost pressured to sell a model that may have taken 50-100+ hours designing/refinining/supporting/printing (Ripjawz) for a few dollars. I still love the industry though and those that choose to support us like yourself, and I look forward to more of your content.
Thanks! Awesome to hear from a fellow Aussie and creator in this industry. I completely sympathise with you guys and the workload involved to bring printable minis to the tabletop. I did presupports professionally for a while, and to do it well including all the test printing and revisions takes a lot of time.
Great job you did and a really awesome video. It also helped me to realize that GW minis and terrain still look way better then 3d printed.
Cheers !
Finally found terrain that I like. Thanks for the indirect recommendation. ;-)
Loved the video, a bit dense in my opinion, but great in general. "A+"
I'll take it!
Deserved a sub! Funny you mentioned at the end about the Z lift at the end of print. On my saturn 2 it is more of a bug due to build volume and height. Causing the resin to splash all over inside the cover which slightly melts the acrylic cover. This was remedied with a quick email to support and a firmware update so that it now lifts about half way up (depending on print size) which is plenty enough to remove the prints already. However I still understand your point having owned Longer orange 10 which did not really lift after finishing the print. rant over anyway will def check more videos and your STLs and if I like what I see Ill toss in a coffee
the sound is on point!
Love your videos.
Very cool video. It was very well done. I used a mars 3 for all the stuff we create over on our patreon / tribe as well.
So glad the algorithm has deigned to show your video in my feed. watched from beginning to end, great editing, great pacing and had me watching from beginning to end. I had to stifle a laugh when you used that massive flatbrush on the terrain but those solar auxillia models came out looking AWESOME. definitely earned a new subscriber.
Thanks!
I don't know what's going on lately but youtube's algorithm is doing it's thing. Love the production of this! keep it up.
Some creators needs a couple of videos to have me subscribe, but I can tell that I'm going to enjoy your videos in my feed! And I haven't even watched the whole video yet! Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
Just watched your Videos the first time.
Really good Job! No way you have Just around 7k subscribers.
Instantly subscribed. Looking forward for more of your high quality Content.
Welcome aboard!
Great video; I’ve been looking for content like this on UA-cam forever!!
I do have to disagree that resin printing isn’t a hobby in itself. I agree that post processing is essentially equivalent to building models; however, tinkering with settings is annoying and is something unique to printing. Also, you talked for about five minutes how rare it is to actually find perfect pre-supported files. Anytime I get a new set of minis to print (primarily Archvillain Games), it is going to take me at least an hour to lay out my build plates and slice my files; and that’s if they are perfect! Generally though, I have to fix files in mesh mixer, find islands, and in some cases resupport. In contrast, when I want a quick project, I can get a kit, build it, and paint. I love my Mars 3, but until all the files are all “S tier”, there is hobby time that has to be invested into 3d printing that simply isn’t required from model building.
Fantastic video! Time to go check out your backlog!!
Glad you found your way here! There can be a lot to resin printing if you want there to be, but I believe so strongly that we're basically already at plug and play levels of printing (barring learning to level a build plate and calibrate resin [which a noobie can easily do in the first day with their printer]). So if your printer has no mechanical issues (the manufacturer did their job right, QC is good etc), your build plate is level, your exposure time is dialed in, and finally your presupported files are well made - you can absolutely just print off plate after plate, around the clock. It's like airbrushing right, you can if you want get really technical with it and learn the thing inside and out and play around with different needle sizes, air pressure, paints and whatever, or you can just blast primer through it and nothing else and never even think about the airbrush beyond "I need to prime minis right now". Same thing with resin printing.
100% the correct rules lol. OPR is the way to go...As a fairly experienced resin printer I found the whole video a joy to watch. Keep up the quality content!
Awesome! :D
Waiting for your must haves in resin printing! especially the flex plate
veeeery nice. gotta say you impressed me witth the painting. i love the little bits of detail you bring out in your models. well done OIASS
Thank you very much!
Love your old wizard looking dude, makes everything just hilarious! (I know nothing about Warhammer, so I have no idea what he's supposed to be)
Best 3d printing video ive seen so far, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for making this video, I picked up one of these and the mercury x during the prime day sale. Actually, had quite a few issues with amazon sending me first the wrong printer and then a damaged one, finally the third one works and is amazing. But I have been lacking in knowledge, pretty much just going at it and making whatever I have wanted, which is great but sometimes the prints turn out poorly or I don't understand settings. Finding this video has been a greet teaching moment and I cannot wait to dive in more when I have time to make even more high-quality prints. Oh, and that carbon filter works in my opinion, at least with water washable resin. I have had no issues keeping it running at my hobby desk, however I do have a bottle of normal resin as a gift so it will be spending some time the garage when I get around to using that up.
I would LOVE if the answer to your title was "No".
I can't actually watch this right now, but I am really looking forward to it. I bought a Mars 3 Pro recently and can't wait to see what other people are doing with it.
Known about 3D resin printing for a little while and I've been interested. Just found your channel when I was looking at Mars 5 Ultra videos. I know this video is a year old, but this printer is $120 brand new on Elegoo's website today. $85 is you're wiling to risk a used one. I cannot believe that for so little I could start printing miniatures of that quality. It is way past time to get one of these and level up my hobby.
Yep this printer is an absolute bargain!
Damn dude, that's impressive effort for a video! Very well done and kept me entertained throughout!
Dude I loved your channel before and you know it . I'm a bit late on this video but man you've grown ! ❤️
Weolyn! Great to see you in the comments again :D Yeah it's been a hectic year for sure, and many more videos to come!
Not sure if other have already said this ( not reading all the comments), but rather than saying the solar guys are breachers, they actually map to be tempest scion kill team and have all the correct weapon load outs.
Hey man what might be helpful tip for you as far as curing goes is try water curing your prints. Super easy, once the "wash" phase is done just drop the minis in a container with water and hit em with the uv. It'll cure the whole mini better and faster.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice! You clearly deserve more subscribers. Your videography and host skills are on point.
Thank you so much 😃
IMHO :) Search for Cannibal Chickens on Cults for the best Kroot Proxies. The sculpts are amazing. The maker has almost single handily kept the Kroot community afloat through years of neglect from the G W :)
for such a small channel, your editing is amazing. Love it!
Really enjoying your videos, this has helped me decide on ordering the Mars 3 Pro since this is exactly the sort of thing I want to print.
This is the first of your videos I've seen, and wow i'm blown away. Only just nabbed my own 3d printer so i'll be sure to check out that tutorial and have a think about a flex plate too
Awesome! Glad you found the channel :)
I have a Mars 3 Pro printer and I've never done an exposure test. LOL. But using the standard grey is probably fine for me since I'm going to prime and paint the things I print no matter what.
I have a mars 3 pro and have been loving it!
Great video man, and hope that you are aware of the solar auxilia line too! If you like their not- conterparts the base ones from FW are still stellar.
Thanks, and yeah I am now haha - they look awesome!
what a cool video! Seriously what great production and editing! And I love the format and goign through your experiences with this entire process.
I would rate this video S-tier.
made my purchase based off this video! i had been on the fence about whether to wait for the sonic mini 8k S as my first printer but after seeing this i think the mars 3 pro will suit my needs just fine. very nervous because i'm pretty new to 3d printing (especially intimidated about installing a flex plate properly lol), so thank you for the invaluable resource of information you bring with your videos! i'll make sure to keep doing my homework
Amazing video. I could not fine a video about checking ones support and what programs you use (and/or have tested) for the job. It is a great idea with a ranking system for all creators.
Thanks! Have a look at my video on supports, its timestamped and has sections showing how to use UV Tools to check for unsupported islands. Slice Print Roleplay also has a good video on UV Tools worth checking out too :)
Great video as, at the moment this printer is selling for £159 on Amazon and, although it's not one of the newer ones, I'm thinking of picking it up for my first 3D Printer. Thanks for an excellent and entertaining video. Subscribed
Yep! Its an insane deal and there's not much modern printers can offer to beat it.
i just randomly stumbled upon your channel, mate you have such high quality content, i was shocked when i saw how few subsribers you have!
Keep up the good work, you gained a sub
Would have suggested using the XP2 test for dialing in quickly, then run either the Towns or Cones of Calibration (it's not really discussed much but CoC is a more supports oriented calibration.) 2.5s at .05 layer height is usually a good place to start when you're operating temperatures are around 20C. If your environment is colder, you might run into some complications.
Also, re: Additional supplies to go with a resin printer set up: A silicon rubber baking mat or one of those pet mats with the lip on the edges is good to have so any spills and/or drips are somewhat contained and easier to clean up.
I do not do any 3d printing or any warhammer stuff at all, yet this video was immensely interesting and I could mostly follow it. Subscribed!
Awesome, thanks!
I never comment on videos but I wanted to say that this video is amazing and you really show off how good the printer is
Thanks!
"Sent to our engineers" is code for, "go-away pesky consumer"
Hittin them milestones sir. 🤘👌👍 Much Proud
Thank you sir
