Ich spiele zwar keine Imps, fand die Modelle aber so toll, dass ich gerade deine Batterien gekauft habe einfach für den Fall falls ich mal Imps spielen könnte/möchte 🤣
This is the kind of video I missed so far in the 3d printing wargaming sphere! Everybody prints and paints, but with the interviews and the technical aspects... this video is giving me "value" beyond entertainment. Keep it up.
I just started 3d printing this week with a saturn 4 ultra and this video was a huge help. A lot of people talk like this is fucking quantum physics and I'm to stupid to understand. I learned more from the table flip guy then any form post iv ever read.
Pausing the video now to say I love the interviews you're having with these creators. I love that you always shine a spotlight on creators. I think it's interesting how they both respond to the issue of sharing their models because it is a sort of gray area. It's interesting the mix of "attempting to copy 1 to 1" and "these are based on models but with our own spin on them". I don't know if there is a great/correct answer for whether if it's bad or good to to create these models, whether or not to charge for them, or if people are right to buy/print these models out. However, I think this discussion is important and is one that people should be having. Your rpints and models looks great also! cool paintjob! Appreciate all the work you do for your videos!
There may even be different 1:1 vs. inspired by answers when considering models that are very IP-specific (like the walker... though that in turn was probably "inspired by" an AT-ST) :) and a piece of field artillery that's not really that far removed from an historical design like a 6-pounder or a Nebelwerfer.
as an illustrator, i'd be thrilled if someone copied my work... non profit. that's like a huge compliment. if they try to copy it and sell it... well that kinda sucks. also context dependend woudn't mind a 16 year old making 200€ of my design, but when some online shop prints it on t shirt well..... and i'm not designing as a job for a multimillion company that's also another perspective but one i can't comment on^^ But it's not like GW Designers invented AT's or Flamethrowers. Hellboy has a biological powerfist aswell. 99% of concepts used in WH are ''stolen'' ideas some more than others... the whole chaos thing? --> taken from a book never even credited the author....^^ i will: Michael Moorcock's Elric saga for me atleast, if they really just try to nail it 1n1 then selling is shady. if they use these figures as inspiration and i do think they are capeable... of even making a better model^^ but ofc people want to buy EXACTLY that official model...or close to as possible. so i see that conflict aswell and can't blame dudes for making some side money+ GW can just watch quietly in shame when it comes to taking someones work and profiting of it... i mean they tried to copyright Elves Dwarfs and Orcs ... can u imagin? Sorry for the wall of text
As others have said, the interviews with designers/modelers makes these episodes incredibly insightful, and I honestly find them to be the cream of the crop of resin 3d printing videos. I love learning more than a basic 'look at this product' or a 'how to' featuring a surface-level 101 understanding regarding a single setting. Look forward to more in the future!
Dude, phenomenal video ! So educational, loved those interviews. Honestly, you're the king of 3D printing videos, slick visuals, buttery audio, and interesting topics. Keep doing what you're doing, it's always a pleasure to see what you come out with - like I genuinely look forward to watching it ! :D
the little sound effects added during painting and basing are great e.g. the texta writing scratching sound, the water sound for the glue, the dirt being moved around for the basing mix being added. Small effects but have a big impact. Great work man
Excellent video. Hearing the people behind these designs was a rare treat. 3d printing tends to be such a taboo subject but hearing what this community has to offer is pretty awesome. Keep up the amazing work man.
hey, thanks for featuring my work on this video! (I'm the maker of the sentinel model) love the result, seing the process and all those insights is really nice

@@guillaumebolis7611 Yeah, thanks, I wrote the comment like 30% into the video and then he just shows the filename to look for. Thanks for a great piece of a model! :)
I have to say, after 15 years I'm looking at getting back into Warhammer, been doing piles of reading and watching video's. Stumbled across your channel while looking into 3D printers, which I didn't know existed. I really love all the video's you do, went through your whole back-log as well. Made a follower of me for sure! Keep up the fantastic work, and who knows, maybe I will get back into the hobby again.
WOW! Thanks especially for the interview with the cones guy. It's already obvious that the cones are kind of support test around 0.3mm but have him talk about it plus the resin examples with zmud and tenacious is gold! Oh yes and btw, good paint job!
Fantastic video. To weigh in on the piracy aspect, and whether it hurts GW... My own opinion is that I think it hurts them far less than they think it will. For someone like myself who is a fringe player of 40k, I've owned several thousand points worth of 40k armies in the past (which has all been sold now), I have no desire to get back into the hobby as the models are cost prohibitive for me. However, I do own a 3d printer and if I could make my own armies for a fraction of the price and play again, or get into the modelling side of the hobby too, I may well do that. If I choose to go down that route, GW will be net positive from me as I'll be buying bits and pieces here and there, paints, rulebooks etc. etc., so without piracy they no longer have me as a customer, and with it, they have a customer that they otherwise would not.
Just got a photon mono x 6 k and I'm printing the sentinel for my first print. Love the channel thank you for all the support. Looking forward to the next video.
This was by far the most beneficial video I've watched since joining the 3d printing universe. Thank you for taking the time to interview the experts. I really think you have a good thing going and should make a show doing the interviews. Keep up the great work by man!😊
Just discovered your channel and omg your video are so interesting, the advice on making and supporting files, 3D printing tips&tricks and even the painting "guide" parts of the video, ALL of this is really well thought, It's just seems so easy to follow and understand. Keep up the good works !
Holy shit, this was an educational video. These interviews and questions are incredible. Even after years of printing so much clicked for me in this video.
Thank you for the amazing content as always, I have actually bought a 3D Printer, and wash/ cure station for this very reason and your ability to give lots of info while keeping it fun and well edited and commentated so thank you again.
Great discussion with Ty from Tableflip - calibrating one of my printers at the moment and ran into the same scenario that I felt the Cones were giving me over-exposed settings. The guys on the Tableflip discord are really helpful. Looking forward to your vid on this.
This is quite a stellar channel to find. I came expecting to see neat warhammer prints. Instead, I got some genuinely amazing knowledge on printing and troubleshooting, alongside the way these prints are made. Well done. I'm shocked you kept it so engaging, too.
To answer the question of what is perfect exposure; As I've always seen it, it's the ratio of reliability vs accuracy. That ratio depends on the individual and their print. Some folk are fine with failures, some folk hate them. Some folk need a 30 minute print, and so will be willing to put up with failures so long as their bed is full of some successes at that speed. Sone folk have a five day print that would set them back ages if it fails. These people need different ratios of reliability to accuracy. Incidentally, this is the same thing for 'perfect supports'. Maximum reliability for minimum damage. Nobody likes support marks. But nobody likes failed prints either. So compromises must be met, and balances struck.
Holy shit, I'm glad I found this video even though I tend to skip over anything focusing on GW stuff. Super insightful stuff on resin calibration, really helpful!
Let's get real - the howitzer is bog-standard. It looks a LOT like a US 105mm howitzer. The Sentinel is straight out of Star Wars, so GW can't make too much of a claim.
Excellent video. Did a ton of resin testing and settled on using "8K" resin on my 4K printers. I like the detail I get from 8K resin. I use Phrozen's 8K resin mixed with 10% Tenacious. Calibrated with the Cones of Calibration and I can print minis reliably. With the money saved on not buying physical mini's, I invest that into good resin.
I've been am avid 3d printer for years and I gotta say this was an amazing video! Especially when you talked with the cones guy! I've been printing for years and I still learned a good amount! You easily earned my subscription
Just stumbled here and tripped on a subscription. Great video mate. Haven't seen many great Aussie producers but this is a really good watch so far (~10m). Howdy from QLD.
Interesting to hear the sculpters talk about why they make what they make, I don't see much off the 40k printing scene, but it looks huge, interesting to see 2 totally different POV's here
Another bang-up video! Definitely going to continue being subbed and look forward to your extensive comparison of resins in the coming year. it will be useful when I finally start 3d printing crispy minis.... and will then be updating your tier list!
This video fills me with hope for the hobby. About 11 months ago I developed RSI on the job working for GW, and they treated me awfully. I used to warn my manager about the incoming affect 3d printing was bound to have on the business and he used to snub me and tell me it'll never be as good. Screw that company, they're 100% the biggest problem in the hobbyspace. Just like any other creative innovation, their models have always been iterations of models and ideas that came before them. I don't believe they are going to be able to protect their IP because the truth on all that is out and spread wide. The models you've printed look amazing, and having seen the 3d sculpting myself from inside HQ, probably of a higher detail and quality.
Sorry to hear about your experience at GW! I love what they've created with Warhammer but yeah it's hard to be a fan of the company. 3D printing is clearly the better fit for the hobby at this point.
Amazing video - especially the interwiew about the resin and cones of calibration. Just adding 2cents from anycubic wash and cure machine side (the small one, coming with photon mono 4k). The machine comes with an underlying reflecting/mirror foil disc (like a really thin cd) which does help with curing from the bottom, pretty ingenious.
Hey man great video! I'm the pre-supporter for Atlan Forge and i've shared this with all our people on discord, very informative! I also shared the mini-rater site and urged people to contribute ;)
hey mate, what a great video, I like how much you displayed all the steps in your endeavor, it's quite unique and comforting when engaging in a task myself, as it gives a good playbook to tackling these technical/creative issues as they arise.
the conversation on calibrating for tension strength or dimensional accuracy was very enlightening, for minis I will aim for tension strength calibration with the cones
so glad youre making this video, I've been thinking of making this but I don't have any filming set up or the time to learn to edit videos. But yeah you could have done this with the last army they released too the leagues of voltan. Keep up the series!
16:26 Yes that sound is normal. It is the bottom spinny part of the machine hitting against a piece of a printed mini. Just make sure no small parts are sticking through the bars at the bottom and the sound will go away.
That was incredible video! Extremely detailed and I learned so much! I just got my Eleagoo Saturn 2, still in the box. This really helps me figure out the kind of resin I need to look into and I learned a lot about exposure times. Thank you! I definitely am subbing!
I agree, they should sell a subscription for access to a faction or all factions, sell GW approved Resin, have a community on helping clients print their models. Sort of like buying a computer printer now. However come to think of it, I realize GW will still find a way to screw the customer over, but if I could 3D print my Imperial Guard army, I would. No way I can invest 1.5k on models alone in this economy, without the ability to print more.
Heya, Very cool! I'm Garin from the makers cult and I've just found out about this channel. Your production value is amazing. Just a quick note, we do repair things in 3d builder before posting, but lychee considers several things to be issues that other software do not (Overlapping shells, multiple points very close together, multiple shells, ect) None of us use lychee, (prusa FTW) which is why this isn't caught. We do however test print everything before it goes out to make sure it all slices and prints without issue. Cheers,
Hey Garin! Nice to hear from you, I'm a big fan of TMC 😄 I'm currently looking into these "minor errors" in a bit more detail because it does seem to have some variance from one computer to the next. For instance files that I've repaired in 3D builder and read fine thereafter in Lychee aren't guaranteed to do so on another computer, and show up with errors. It's super weird and I want to figure out what's going on there and hopefully will have something to say on the matter in a future video. Thanks for stopping by!
Great video, shame the upgrade to the old printer had some issues, but it's encouraging to hear about 4k retrofits in the pipeline; I had good results upgrading to a mono screen on my Creality LD-002R.
you can totally tell they took peoples feedback to heart because if you look at the screen change process on their M series printers. its way way way way easier
GW is creating the problem by themselves. If they wouldn’t charge these outrageous prices, for what is essentially mass produced plastic pieces, much less people would be printing or buying prints
F’n Aya!! So worth the wait!! Best vid yet!! Learned so FNG’ MUCH!! What a great production and content! Bought a triple Latte’. Loved the interviews and I a more confident than ever in our world.
Love how thorough you are covering this stuff. If I may make a suggestion, I use SUNLU ABS like resin. That has been my go to resin for a good while now. Other than air bubbles in flat areas, I’d consider it the best resin I have ever used.
Awesome video! I've found that if I put the uncured bits in a small tub of water and cure them while they're suspended in water then it helps a lot. IDK if that occurs due to refraction aiding UV light hitting any little hidden parts or if the water helps in some other way. Might be worth testing though!
Came for the guard proxies, stayed for the calibration lecture :) Im a design engineer and one of the things we balance in a design is the needed strength for a part to keep the stresses within acceptable values :) so often we have to adjust the design so the part would be strong enough for its intended use
That was a phenomenal watch, I learned a lot! A couple points of interest - 1. Try out Siraya Tech Fast Resin, it's what i've been using of late and I've had no issues using their default print settings on my Photon Mono. (Just don't leave it in the vat long term because it'll make for a hell of a clean-up) 2. I don't have an Elegoo Wash and Cure, but I do have the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 and that one doesn't have led's in the bottom but it does have a reflective sheet that you place below the tray, You might be able to rig something similar up for the elegoo.
Would love to get my hands on that resin! As for the cure station even if it did have lights or a reflector it's still tiny. So good for a small print job I guess
@@OnceinaSixSide That chat about designing for dimensional accuracy versus tensile strength was the best info I've gotten on 3d printing, you did an excellent job with the interview
Cones part is pretty interesting. My feeling is the story only holds up is there is 1 proper standard how models are pre-supported (thickness etc.). But in the end the assumption is, as long as you keep overexposing more and more, in the end you won't get a misprint. But yeah... you sacrifce dimensional accuracy. If you don't care about dimensional accuracy then, apart from maybe bigger build plates and a faster printer you don't need the expensive 4K/8K stuff. You throw it away anyway, to a certain degree. Other way around would be more interesting --> if you dial in your printer for dimensional accuracy --> then print the cones --> they teach you what kind of supports would work --> that way you can make sure your own supports are OK. Of course at the sacrifice that you need to put some work in yourself instead of click and print. So it's a different approach aiming for a different goal. But still not sure given pre-supported model support variations how universal it actually is.
Another amazing and long format video. The interviews of the creators was really interesting and I hope you'll keep doing it in the future Nice to see the channel growing, you deserve it with the quality of your work On the subject of free VS paid, there are multiple STL files for the new Rogal Dorn tank. Will you do something about it ?
@@OnceinaSixSide Yes, I saw it on his Cults page. There are at least 3 or 4 other ones on Cults now and the official GW isn't even out yet lol That's what I find really great with 3d printing, artists and creators will work faster and give us models even before GW ones are even out, paid or free. It was the case for the Leagues of Votann and it seems to be the case too for IG now.
I bought the bigger anycubic wash and cure machine and its been brilliant. They have a mirrored sheet that goes down under the turn table aswell as the strip that has the UV lights has an arm that can turn up to 55° from memory so it's definitely made curing way way better
Got to say this vid has been in my recommended for a while, but I've been putting it off because I assumed it would be one of those long, drab, poorly edited walkthroughs of 3D printing. How sorely mistaken I was. Even though I don't yet 3D print in the hobby, this was one of the best introductions technically about the science and art balance of it I've seen. Every minute kept my attention even though the bulk of what I came to watch was in the last 10 minutes or so. Aces all round
Excellent video! Both entertaining and informative, as usual. If it helps anyone, I have had great success using Elegoo ABS-like grey resin mixed with roughly 10% of Siraya Tech’s Tenacious clear resin and using the One Page Rules recommended print settings for the original Elegoo Mars. Even after using these settings I still experienced the occasional failure, both with pre-supported and manually supported models, but now I always open the stl file in the Windows 3D Builder app to repair it before slicing and printing and I haven't had a failure (that wasn't related to inadequate supports) since.
Another oustanding video mate. The amount of work and information you get through in every video contiunes to be staggering. The discussion around the variables that lead to the degree of dimensional accuracy acheived in prints was super interesting. I still think there is huge value to be gained in the minirater project. The issue of specific resins and printers the customer is using is relevant and worth considering as a factor for sure, but IMO this should be secondary to addressing the absoulte basics of unsupported islands, file organisation, or files with errors etc. Keep up the great work mate! Loving each new installment. Do I hear the influcence of the Risk of Rain soundtrack on the music at the 15:20 mark?
You place the build plate in the wash cure machine then take the models off after washing. Chucking them in loose is only for large models that don’t fit. Otherwise one of those little bits will fall through as happened

if they use these figures as inspiration and i do think they are capeable... of even making a better model^^
but ofc people want to buy EXACTLY that official model...or close to as possible.
so i see that conflict aswell and can't blame dudes for making some side money+

This video fills me with hope for the hobby.
About 11 months ago I developed RSI on the job working for GW, and they treated me awfully. I used to warn my manager about the incoming affect 3d printing was bound to have on the business and he used to snub me and tell me it'll never be as good.
Screw that company, they're 100% the biggest problem in the hobbyspace. Just like any other creative innovation, their models have always been iterations of models and ideas that came before them.
I don't believe they are going to be able to protect their IP because the truth on all that is out and spread wide.
The models you've printed look amazing, and having seen the 3d sculpting myself from inside HQ, probably of a higher detail and quality.
Sorry to hear about your experience at GW! I love what they've created with Warhammer but yeah it's hard to be a fan of the company. 3D printing is clearly the better fit for the hobby at this point.
You are doing gods work, keep putting out awesome content - I am here for all of it. Very excited for the video comparing different resins!
Amazing video - especially the interwiew about the resin and cones of calibration. Just adding 2cents from anycubic wash and cure machine side (the small one, coming with photon mono 4k). The machine comes with an underlying reflecting/mirror foil disc (like a really thin cd) which does help with curing from the bottom, pretty ingenious.
Hey man great video! I'm the pre-supporter for Atlan Forge and i've shared this with all our people on discord, very informative! I also shared the mini-rater site and urged people to contribute ;)
Awesome! I'll have to try out some Atlanforge minis one of these days
hey mate, what a great video, I like how much you displayed all the steps in your endeavor, it's quite unique and comforting when engaging in a task myself, as it gives a good playbook to tackling these technical/creative issues as they arise.
the conversation on calibrating for tension strength or dimensional accuracy was very enlightening, for minis I will aim for tension strength calibration with the cones
Subbed because of those interviews. Taking the time to get in contact made all the difference to this video.
17:14 with some TUP in the background, what a real man
so glad youre making this video, I've been thinking of making this but I don't have any filming set up or the time to learn to edit videos. But yeah you could have done this with the last army they released too the leagues of voltan. Keep up the series!
had the necrons void dragon printed and painted and brought it to a game at a warhammer store before it was available for sale
16:26 Yes that sound is normal. It is the bottom spinny part of the machine hitting against a piece of a printed mini. Just make sure no small parts are sticking through the bars at the bottom and the sound will go away.
16:48 Well I should’ve watched longer 😂
I think it's really great to have learned a lot about resin printing.
That was incredible video! Extremely detailed and I learned so much! I just got my Eleagoo Saturn 2, still in the box. This really helps me figure out the kind of resin I need to look into and I learned a lot about exposure times. Thank you! I definitely am subbing!
Thanks!
GW need to release affordable 3d options and get in on the action 😂
I agree, they should sell a subscription for access to a faction or all factions, sell GW approved Resin, have a community on helping clients print their models. Sort of like buying a computer printer now. However come to think of it, I realize GW will still find a way to screw the customer over, but if I could 3D print my Imperial Guard army, I would. No way I can invest 1.5k on models alone in this economy, without the ability to print more.
This is f**king good video, all the cameos made it 10/10
Heya, Very cool! I'm Garin from the makers cult and I've just found out about this channel. Your production value is amazing. Just a quick note, we do repair things in 3d builder before posting, but lychee considers several things to be issues that other software do not (Overlapping shells, multiple points very close together, multiple shells, ect) None of us use lychee, (prusa FTW) which is why this isn't caught. We do however test print everything before it goes out to make sure it all slices and prints without issue. Cheers,
Hey Garin! Nice to hear from you, I'm a big fan of TMC 😄 I'm currently looking into these "minor errors" in a bit more detail because it does seem to have some variance from one computer to the next. For instance files that I've repaired in 3D builder and read fine thereafter in Lychee aren't guaranteed to do so on another computer, and show up with errors. It's super weird and I want to figure out what's going on there and hopefully will have something to say on the matter in a future video. Thanks for stopping by!
What an amazing video. I still have a lot of questions but I think I'm a bit more prepared to start my 3D printing journey.
Thank you!
Great video, shame the upgrade to the old printer had some issues, but it's encouraging to hear about 4k retrofits in the pipeline; I had good results upgrading to a mono screen on my Creality LD-002R.
I've seen other UA-camrs use geek gaming scenics for boards but this video is the one that convinced me to give it a go. Those bases are cool
the cones guy had so much helpful insight. nailed the "how do guys"
i printed off the sentinel a day before finding this video - supported files worked great, thank you both
you can totally tell they took peoples feedback to heart because if you look at the screen change process on their M series printers. its way way way way easier
Also thanks for supporting the sentinel! Most appreciated ❤
Wonderful video. I enjoyed it very much, top models and such a cool in dept analysis with the 3D artists
GW is creating the problem by themselves. If they wouldn’t charge these outrageous prices, for what is essentially mass produced plastic pieces, much less people would be printing or buying prints
F’n Aya!! So worth the wait!! Best vid yet!! Learned so FNG’ MUCH!! What a great production and content! Bought a triple Latte’. Loved the interviews and I a more confident than ever in our world.
There he is! The cheesewizzer himself. Very much appreciate your support in this endeavour good sir 😎
I enjoy these 3d army printing videos more then I should 😂 love it man
Love how thorough you are covering this stuff. If I may make a suggestion, I use SUNLU ABS like resin. That has been my go to resin for a good while now. Other than air bubbles in flat areas, I’d consider it the best resin I have ever used.
I recomend taking off the support of the big things before putting into the wash and cure, you will have better cleaning results!, nice challenge btw!
Awesome video! I've found that if I put the uncured bits in a small tub of water and cure them while they're suspended in water then it helps a lot. IDK if that occurs due to refraction aiding UV light hitting any little hidden parts or if the water helps in some other way. Might be worth testing though!
Came for the guard proxies, stayed for the calibration lecture :) Im a design engineer and one of the things we balance in a design is the needed strength for a part to keep the stresses within acceptable values :) so often we have to adjust the design so the part would be strong enough for its intended use
That was a phenomenal watch, I learned a lot!
A couple points of interest -
1. Try out Siraya Tech Fast Resin, it's what i've been using of late and I've had no issues using their default print settings on my Photon Mono. (Just don't leave it in the vat long term because it'll make for a hell of a clean-up)
2. I don't have an Elegoo Wash and Cure, but I do have the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 and that one doesn't have led's in the bottom but it does have a reflective sheet that you place below the tray, You might be able to rig something similar up for the elegoo.
Would love to get my hands on that resin! As for the cure station even if it did have lights or a reflector it's still tiny. So good for a small print job I guess
Great job man, love the advanced blender video as well!
Thank you!!! Youve won a subscription from me ive wanted imperial guard for so long buts its expensive. Cant wait to get my own resin 3d setup
Best video and models yet, keep up the fantastic work
Thanks! I shall do my best
@@OnceinaSixSide That chat about designing for dimensional accuracy versus tensile strength was the best info I've gotten on 3d printing, you did an excellent job with the interview
Love you man! Thanks for the shout out and great content as always!
The flag bearer himself! Thank you for all your support good sir, I'm stoked you're enjoying these videos :D
hilarious vid man. I don't even play this game or build models and this was a blast to watch.
Holy shit the flexibility of that resin is amazing! Good video.
Nice to hear an Aussie voice discussing 3D printing.
G'day!
@@OnceinaSixSide I don't have a printer yet, but your vids are a treasure trove of info. Ta.
You're doing gods work with your research
A ultrasonic waterbath does an amazing job at cleaning resin prints. Even better than a 'wash & cure station'.
the ciuty is a multi use terst, pin holes for over exposure, and towers for udner exposure and also liftign speed tests
Cones part is pretty interesting. My feeling is the story only holds up is there is 1 proper standard how models are pre-supported (thickness etc.). But in the end the assumption is, as long as you keep overexposing more and more, in the end you won't get a misprint. But yeah... you sacrifce dimensional accuracy.
If you don't care about dimensional accuracy then, apart from maybe bigger build plates and a faster printer you don't need the expensive 4K/8K stuff. You throw it away anyway, to a certain degree.
Other way around would be more interesting --> if you dial in your printer for dimensional accuracy --> then print the cones --> they teach you what kind of supports would work --> that way you can make sure your own supports are OK.
Of course at the sacrifice that you need to put some work in yourself instead of click and print.
So it's a different approach aiming for a different goal. But still not sure given pre-supported model support variations how universal it actually is.
Another amazing and long format video.
The interviews of the creators was really interesting and I hope you'll keep doing it in the future
Nice to see the channel growing, you deserve it with the quality of your work
On the subject of free VS paid, there are multiple STL files for the new Rogal Dorn tank.
Will you do something about it ?
Cheers! I think Weissnix is actually the guy behind one of those haha
@@OnceinaSixSide
Yes, I saw it on his Cults page. There are at least 3 or 4 other ones on Cults now and the official GW isn't even out yet lol
That's what I find really great with 3d printing, artists and creators will work faster and give us models even before GW ones are even out, paid or free.
It was the case for the Leagues of Votann and it seems to be the case too for IG now.
YESSSSSS I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW YEAR VIDEO
It's so sweet to see you guys crushing GW face I just can't stop celebrating
Have you thought about a podcast with conversations like this? Would be great! Thanks for another great video 🙏✌️
Maaaaybe. Would that be interesting do you think? 🤔
@@OnceinaSixSide I think so, also, seems to be quite a few other comments enjoying the "real talk" from the designers and other YT's. 🙂
I bought the bigger anycubic wash and cure machine and its been brilliant. They have a mirrored sheet that goes down under the turn table aswell as the strip that has the UV lights has an arm that can turn up to 55° from memory so it's definitely made curing way way better
This video was very insightful, I think that's the right word?. I also really enjoyed the interviews😃
Came for what I thought was going to be a funny video, stayed to learn.
Very well put-together video.
Is it a threat? Well. after just getting a complete 3d print set up. I'm never buying GW again... That's very anecdotal. But it's a customer lost.
Got to say this vid has been in my recommended for a while, but I've been putting it off because I assumed it would be one of those long, drab, poorly edited walkthroughs of 3D printing. How sorely mistaken I was.
Even though I don't yet 3D print in the hobby, this was one of the best introductions technically about the science and art balance of it I've seen. Every minute kept my attention even though the bulk of what I came to watch was in the last 10 minutes or so. Aces all round
Excellent video! Both entertaining and informative, as usual. If it helps anyone, I have had great success using Elegoo ABS-like grey resin mixed with roughly 10% of Siraya Tech’s Tenacious clear resin and using the One Page Rules recommended print settings for the original Elegoo Mars. Even after using these settings I still experienced the occasional failure, both with pre-supported and manually supported models, but now I always open the stl file in the Windows 3D Builder app to repair it before slicing and printing and I haven't had a failure (that wasn't related to inadequate supports) since.
Another oustanding video mate.
The amount of work and information you get through in every video contiunes to be staggering.
The discussion around the variables that lead to the degree of dimensional accuracy acheived in prints was super interesting.
I still think there is huge value to be gained in the minirater project. The issue of specific resins and printers the customer is using is relevant and worth considering as a factor for sure, but IMO this should be secondary to addressing the absoulte basics of unsupported islands, file organisation, or files with errors etc.
Keep up the great work mate! Loving each new installment.
Do I hear the influcence of the Risk of Rain soundtrack on the music at the 15:20 mark?
Appreciate that! I'm unfamiliar with that soundtrack, I'll have to check it out!
You place the build plate in the wash cure machine then take the models off after washing. Chucking them in loose is only for large models that don’t fit. Otherwise one of those little bits will fall through as happened
