Use this to seal before painting.. regular bondo works as a filler.. it's available on amazon  |

| My latest prints. Learning there’s a bit of art and science that goes i to supporting the models. Need just enough heavy supports in the tight places to support the model but not so many that you ruin the surface taking them off. Also, I’m gonna take a break for a little bit. I need to filter out the alcohol I use to clean the models. There’s enough leftover resin in the alcohol that it’s leaving a thin layer stuck to the model resulting in a grainy surface that obscures details. I had chalked it up entirely to the anti-aliasing but I don’t think that’s the case. I’m also gonna give the screen a good cleaning and probably replace the plastic film New print on the left     Some Lord of the Rings prints     With a Quarter for scale  |

| Well, it’s been a learning experience but I’m getting to where I am getting more successful prints more often. These came out of the printer earlier today. Still need to work on supporting the chains better but otherwise it’s like 90% of the way there! Still need to print the base but that will probably be sometime early next week. I’m looking forward to painting this one as well! The license on the 3D model was royalty free so I might sell painted and unpainted prints in the future if/when I can get this perfected    |

| Just used up the last of my resin for the moment (new delivery coming in on Tuesday). I printed up a figurine of Bad Kuchi Kopi from Bob’s Burgers. I just finished sanding down the support connections and I’m just letting the primer coat dry before painting.   I also printed up the base for my Daredevil bust. Again, it’s like 90% there but a few of the supports broke in the printing.   |

| So I got my new resin and it’s been working really well despite the more budget price. I printed these yesterday, mostly as gifts. For some reason the first one’s right arm did not print properly but the other two came out great! I removed the rear left foot to match my own bearded dragon. I love that they are flexible and it’s really cool that the joints all printed in place, except for the heads which were separate pieces that snap in    I also got the subscription to a modeler’s Patreon that allows me to sell prints of their models (same team that did the Daredevil above so the modeling quality is outstanding!). I’ll ask Jesse how much I can post about offering that here but for now just send me a PM if you’re interested! |

Finished printing this one earlier today. I’m just going to sand some of the adjacent edges, particularly on the base then apply a simple paint job.   I spoke with Jesse and will be starting a selling thread over the weekend. I’ll be offering Star Wars and (most likely) some Marvel models in various sizes. I’ll also be open for printing service in case you have a 3D model you’d like printed |

| @Byrdibyrd Thank you! What I like about this group’s models is that there are swappable parts for a lot of these models. For this one, for example, there is an option without the helmet so you see old Anakin’s scarred face from Return of the Jedi. And for the Imperial Logo there is one that includes the name “Darth Vader” | ||

So Vader’s a rather simple color scheme so I threw a quick paint job on. This one is pending a sale  |

Currently working on making a 3D printed 1/1400 scale model kit of the USS Ares from the Star Trek fan film Prelude to Axanar based on an original 3D model by David Metlesits. I had to get some help from a reddit group to fix some issues on the hull but I think my next major hurdle is figuring out the supports on the nacelles so they don’t come out looking hideously ragged  |

| @KatKomics That’s awesome! I’ve never been able to write more than a few letters before running out of ink with those pens. I know the reservoir doesn’t hold a ton of ink but are you supposed to dip for every word? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite might have been the type of pen? I've been using one of my pens for a few days now with no need to refill - I think it holds 1.5 ml? - just counted - about 7 ish pages - maybe call it 5 for spaces etc. Some can hold as much as 3 ml - probably last forever! Most are converter, cartridge or eye dropper (can fill the whole body with ink) rather than the old dip and write. Other things can impact how quick you run out too - like a broad or medium nib vs a fine or extra fine so you are laying down more or less ink A new thing for me to go down a rabbit hole on for a bit! Now to see about printing a fun pen holder!! |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite Did “those pens” have a reservoir at all? Some dip pens don’t and that would explain the constant dipping. |

| @Davethebrave I’m pretty sure they did. Those small reservoirs that are part of the nib. Printed this today! It’s not glued together so not everything is perfectly in place in the photo. I’m probably gonna paint it and put it up for sale. It’s about 3.5” tall  And the render  |

Luke Skywalker! This one has a buyer lined up! I’ll have Han Solo done soon and Princess Leia will come up next!  This one was difficult to get a picture of since the pieces don’t hold together well without being glued in. This will be going up for sale in my other thread in my FS thread this weekend   |

This is a simple Sorcerer's Stone printed in clear red for a co-worker’s Hagrid from Harry Potter costume. I processed this one a little differently than normal, skipped the alcohol rinse after printing, and went straight to curing to get a shinier, clearer finish. This is some anime character from an anime/manga done for a different co-worker. He paints warhammer figures so he’s excited to paint this one himself  |

| I’m trying to get a group together to start playing BattleTech. I’ve loved the MechWarrior video games for ages but never really checked out the tabletop game. Now that I have a 3D printer combined with this Humble Bundle of Battletech books, I figured it was time to take the plunge! The dark minis are the official ones from the Beginner Box (included in the Humble Bundle) and the lighter ones are the ones I printed myself  |
