It's mind boggling that buying a 3d printer and the STL files, printing just one army and then throwing away the printer and deleting the STLs is cheaper than buying the plastic kits.

"Chaos corrupted Rincewind" brought a smile to my face

This is something that's been nagging at me for a few videos now. I'm not a huge fan of the red and blue lights and background used during your beauty-shots. It makes it difficult to really see and register all of your fantastic paint work when either strong red or blue tones are washing out the entire paint scheme. This was super apparent in this video too. I had no idea where the lights ended and the paints started and the addition of the red and blue background made things even harder to focus on with all of the bright primary colors demanding attention. I don't want to come across as pushy, over critical, or even like I hate your channel. I love the work you do and I PERSONALLY want to see it all in it's pinned, greenstuffed, and dead-animal-bitsified glory! I'd love to hear how others think too though

When filing or sanding down resin, I'd recommend wet sanding to keep you from breathing in any fine resin dust.

Pre-supported STL files aren't always plug and play. It pays to run the sliced file through UVTools to catch unsupported parts to fix before you print them.

@LumberingTroll

2 жыл бұрын

UVTools is overly aggressive and catches things that are not a problem, it depends on your setting, and what layer height your print at. if you print at .05mm then it wont matter if UV tools is finding an island at .01mm as it will be "merged" into the layer below it anyway.

Such a simple, yet effective and good looking paint scheme. Great sculpts as well although I agree there is definitely a limit to resin detail compared with plastic.

@PeteTheWargamer

2 жыл бұрын

I think a bit part of it is the number of components. If a kit is split down into more parts you can have deeper recesses and more defined details. A lot of the 3d printed kits tend to split their minis into as few a parts as possible. It definitely helps with assembly time but at the cost of some level of detail.

It's a dumb meme, where you spent way more money than you think because most 3D printers are designed to break in around 3 years worth of service due to how poorly constructed half of them are. Unless you really want to have a dozen armies it's not worth buying and spending all the effort working with toxic resin residue just for a casual side hobby. Pete the paid shill can do it because he probably got a discount with how much he plugs his cheap chinese tat.. considering Saturns have absolutely abysmal repair rates.

Great job! Looks brilliant 👍

I think this is like the "Thin your paints!" of the minipainting community: "After washing put the printed part with supports into hot (as hot as you can handle stil keeping your hand in) water, leave it for a minute, then remove the supports." I basically never need to do any other support cleanup his way, just the odd on the model support for those hard to reach bits.

I think that Demon Prince definitely deserves a little more painting for certain. Still, amazing job!!!!

I always find these conversion look best when you add one or two recognizable GW parts, like pauldron's or specific weapons with the 40k stuff.

Just started follow your stuff Pete. I've recently gotten back into painting after hanging up my stuff back in the 90s. I don't play anymore but I have started painting again with my teens.

So shoulders with Chapter icons of my choosing.

Technology is just improving now that the domestic market for printers was opened up a few years back with the cheap SLA printers starting to become the norm due to cheap screen technology.. only expect it to remain the same or improve. Fdm printers still have their place after spearheading the 3dp at home market, but just not high detail models. they're great for making armatures, terrain, etc. But you'll have a lot of work to smooth out print ridges and all that.

Not sure if its been said, but one thing you can always do to get variance in your models is kitbashing. You can modify the files and splice together bits from other models before you even print them.

Games Workshop lawyers will be sending you a cease and desist and opening a store right across your house.

for the different variation in the troop selection you can, Flip the models and change the size by 5-10% This will create slight variation on mass troops so they wont look as jaring having 20 models that look the exact same.

Adding a step of soaking in hot water for about 1-2 min or so will make removing those supports a true pleasure.

Use some of the 3D resin and a uv torch to fill gaps, works great and offers a super strong bond!

Hi, brilliant video and the models and paint scheme look amazing. What resin did you use for the models? Thanks!

What resin do you use for printing minis? I've had mostly bad luck with very brittle resin.
