You got some weird friends

[abstract vapor]

Why bother commenting this at all, do not forget "be excellent to each other"

Nice paint job zen

[twilit palm]

Resin? Fdm?

[quasi fjord]

@rain warren nice painting man, it looks dope

[summer shadow]

Want

Looks so good that I want

[loud dew]

can i ask how did you print the hair? it doesnt seem possible with certain machines

[summer shadow]

I believe it’s been resin printed

[rain warren]

It's Resin

I guess it's possible to print on FDM in this size as well, but lots of sanding would probably be needed to fix z seem and such

[summer shadow]

You could also use model putty to fill it or bondo if you wish to got that route

[rain warren]

there's a line at the skirt that could make it look like it's FDM printed, but it's just me being bad at resin supports

[summer shadow]

No one’s perfect

[rain warren]

sure, but you'll still have to fiddle with layer lines. Here it took less than 10 hours to print 0.02mm layer height and it's like 16 cm tall

[summer shadow]

Nice, that’s true about layer liners(still haven’t figured out what I’m doing with my sword)

[rain warren]

I do not deny that lol. Of all the things she could want me to print and paint from myminifactory.com and she chose this

[rain warren]

It's an honor when the words come from a paint maniac. thanks

[summer shadow]

I still wish I did better on my mustang commission for the paint work

[rain warren]

I have a Voron 2.4 and I first started out with trying to print minis with it, after starting DND. It took around 4 hours to print 1 mini with lots of strings at that tiny layer height.

then I said screw it and got a resin printer

[summer shadow]

I want one but I’m not building a shed with a heater(my dads words after he heard it was stinky) to do it

[rain warren]

it's much more fun to paint when the detail is there. it's totally worth it the printers compliment each other

[summer shadow]

Dad said I’d have to build a shed for resin printing

[rain warren]

making big tintin rockets with the big printer and tintin figures with the little printer

[summer shadow]

I made a low poly fox piggy bank that I literally have to break if I want to get into it it

I am a horrible impulsive buyer

[rain warren]

my resin printer is in the "hooby room" and I just open the window and close the door to the room when done working with it

[summer shadow]

I have my own room and “my” basement but I’m not allowed to buy a resin setup and put it in the basement

[rain warren]

it's good to be cautious about the health safety, but it's not the end of the world if you don't have a dedicated room for it

[rain warren]

it would be cheaper to buy a grow tent and put a vent to the window instead of building a shed

example pic:

[summer shadow]

It would but I live in the great northern frozen wasteland that is Canada and we already have to deal with the smell of my brothers work clothes when he comes home from the Rigs

I also don’t have anywhere to put it anyways

[rain warren]

that's what @worn quail 's excuse is too.

maybe there's a black friday deal soon that will make you re-consider your options

[summer shadow]

With the literal $60 dollars in my bank account?

[rain warren]

it was printed whole on resin as Iron said. Only thing I've attached to it is the base.

[loud dew]

i see, thank you! i didnt know there was types of 3d printers
am new to the whole thing

[summer shadow]

That’s fair m8

I DONT WANT TO KNOW THE GCODE COMMAND BENCHYBOT

[rain warren]

if you love figurines, small decorations and curious to paint, then Resin printers is the go-to

Here's a few other prints I've painted

[loud dew]

theres a machine on my college, we can use for like 3.200 idr each grams
ill have to ask next time what type it is

how long does it take to make the pikachu one? excluding painting

[rain warren]

Resin printers have liquid resin. so if you see liquid that stinks at that printer, it's resin

[loud dew]

it has the pla roll thing

so i guess its not resin

[summer shadow]

That’s an FDM

[rain warren]

ehh maybe 4-5 hours I think. IT's the height of the model that defines how long it takes. So you can print a whole build plate full of minis and it takes the same time if they are same height

it prints 1 whole layer at the same time for like 2-3 seconds

times 3000 layers

[loud dew]

what app do you use to make the model? or do you just find one online?

[rain warren]

oh I just find them online

[loud dew]

i see

[rain warren]

most of them I've paid for to get

but the miku and pikachu was actually free models

[loud dew]

yeah i coz i want to make the models not actually print them lol

id need to know if they are printable though
