As a small creator hocking my wares on MyMiniFactory, it nice to show just how much work goes into creating the minis we play with. I often get overloaded with being just a single person trying to do marketing, sculpting, supports, concept art, and all around coming up with the all the ideas myself. My choice of printer to use is what is affordable to maybe the average user, so seeing an older printer being used is also good. I chose what I did because of good experience, and the fact it was a decent price (Mars 3). Again, my decision on printer was what I had used before, price, and thinking about the average hobbyist and what they might have.

I sincerely hope this message reaches at least one STL creator turned physical product vendor. If you are not doing part separation like we have in Gundam, do not bother with plastic. Unless you're spending time and effort into making the building phase an enjoyable process that could create unique painting opportunities, I don't want it. I don't want to clunkily put together a giant lizard's head and hope there's no visible gap. Here's a better example - imagine of my chaos space marines had their gold trim as a separate part that I can paint all shiny and then snap it onto a matte armor. If you're not aiming for that, just give me the cheaper resin models I can buy hundreds of.

Big fan of this behind the scenes reporting. Really cool to see my printer (that your review helped me choose) being used at scale like this.

I genuinely adore your industry and innovation type videos! Please keep making more! It's only now and again that I buy a new printer, but I'm deeply interested in the scene.

I’m guessing this video resonated 3 ways… ❤️❤️

I-JUST-LOVE-TITAN-FORGE-ART-DIRECTION!!! IMHO it's just the best balance beside GW between nicely detailed realism and cartoon fantasy. And its consistent month after month. Thank you for the shoutout.

Yeah I loved your journalistic approach. It gives depth to your channel imo. Also, it was nice to know how they work as a company and their molding process was a new discovery. Keep it up, love the content. Also, I can relate about last minute cancelling family plans with business. Hope she didn't went too hard on you 😂

So I know I'm biased. But I love videos like this, getting behind the scenes at creator offices and such. Seeing how the stuff I love is made and a glimpse at the people who made it. It's why I also love other videos from other creators that tour Painting Manufacturers, mini factories, etc. Hope this isn't the last one of these you make!

As someone who's really just kind of demoralized and not painting anything for warhammer, I'm really interested in companies like this. Where I can buy 4 or 5 hero models for the price of a box of intercessors

JUST WANTED TO SAY AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP/ADVICE/DIAGNOSIS OF MY RESIN PRINTER A COUPLE O WEEKS AGO. YOUR CHANNEL IS ONE OF THE MOST INFORMATIVE & COMPREHENCIVE PRINTER CHANNELS ON KZread & YOU'RE ACCESSABLE. THANK YOU MY FRIEND.

I really enjoyed this formatting! I'm excited for any videos you put out in this format.

Yep, gonna be using a printer farm for the manufacturing of my upcoming miniature game. What was the game changer was flexible resin designed for table top gaming. Now you have the durability of pvc minis with the ease of working of resin miniatures. It also cuts out so many middlemen which is handy for a small studio.

Excellent video and insight into the industry! Thank you, Ross!

Love the format and the promotion of passionate and creative people. I recently supported the Frontier of Titan Forge Miniatures Dwarven Holds, I'm still amazed to basically have a whole army of Dwarves to print for less than a box of regular GW minis. And this is just Titan Forge Minis, there are plenty of other talented artists with different styles for all the armies of Fantasy and more.

For the record, i *like* that your promotions are with cool stl makers; they're both on topic and informative!

This was a fantastic video. Great to see the behind the scenes of Titan forge. Your videos are by far the best, most unbias reviews going on the printing hobby.

Ross, really appreciate you doing this, I didn't know I needed a video like this but I did, just had no clue how much work went into these monthly releases, it was really great to see

This is probably your best vid to date, well worth all the hard work that is no doubt behind it.

Definitely like this look into the industry, and would happily watch more alongside the reviews

Very enjoyable watch!

Great behind the scenes look, but one question went unanswered. I'd love for you to poll these titans of Worlds Beyond and find out what RESINS they use (or perhaps it's a secret blend of herbs and spices?). I saw flexibility in the video, so I'm assuming they go for sturdiness over the highly detailed-but-brittle resins like Elegoo Space Grey. But what does Archvillain use, for example? Their renders are SICK and it's difficult to get all that detail onto a bendy tough resin.

This was truly eye-opening. I've been curious about the workflow of all these gorgeous models, and I'm blown away by the amount of effort put into their design. I'd also wondered about the equipment used. That they can get such awesome results out of a machine I can eventually afford, makes me even more interested in getting into the hobby. Right now I'm on the sidelines looking in, but videos like this get me that much closer to taking the plunge. So, yes, I'm very interested in more presentation-type content along with the reviews. This was great!

Also. I did REALLY enjoy this video. Good job, Sir!!!

Man, I'm so excited Archvillian is in Worlds Beyond...I have always loved their minis but I don't utilize their DnD stuff that comes with the monthly releases.

Thank you so much for sharing the people behind the future of wargaming. I knew that this would be exactly what was needed for the hobby from just the feelings I had about it, but this video and these wonderful people are the reason I am getting back into the hobby after dropping it in highschool. This is what the hobby should have been from the start! Friendly, easy, and accessible to anyone!

Awesome video!

Great video! I'd say 8k is where we fully crossed the uncanny valley, where minis print exactly like the stl looks. While 6k can achieve awesome results, 8k seems to be the sweet spot for our visual acuity, where once you prime something, the layer lines are completely invisible, where 6k was a little more hit and miss on this. Now, it's about features, ease of use, and customer service.

Great Video. I love OPR and TitanForge

Thanks so much for doing these videos. I've recently discovered your channel and have been watching all the Resin Printer-related videos I can.

Absolutely great work dude, this was super interesting. Love getting a peak behind the curtain so to speak. 😅

Cheers thanks for sharing !!! 👍👍👍

I have an Anycubic photon mono 2k printer. I had a friend that does professional printing help me dial in my settings for the resin I use (Phrozen aqua green) so I end up with *really* nice and detailed prints. Of course you can still see layer lines if the print isn't angled properly, but other than getting a bigger machine I see no need to upgrade my machine. I've had it since 2021 and use it to print the minis I paint for competitions.

Hi Ross, absolutely love your informative reviews,great work)) This is the first introduction to Sio Cast that I have seen from you,can you please do some more from that company as last I heard there was something like a 3% shrinkage to that resin material in comparison to the prototype model. I would like to know if that has been amended and if the shrinkage has an actual impact from the prototype model at actual size the miniature is to be sold at ( is it noticable ) or does the prototype model have to be printed of at a certain percentage bigger to compensate for the shrinkage in the Sio Cast resin? Thank you.

Really cool. 👍

I enjoyed the video, but the thumbnail is a bit deceiving. Using "What printers do the pros use?" in the Thumbnail and the first part of the title, is a bit sketchy when you only spend about 2 minutes on that.

Sorry, SioCast

big fan of realness

I love siocast as a concept so much. It should allow tons of small and medium sized companies to make a big upfront investment into their machines and then be able to produce minis in house. For some companies, COUGH COUGH CATALYST GAME LABS COUGH COUGH, it would be amazing to be able to get rapid iteration of variants and bits to customize minis without them having to pay out 20 grand to get a metal die made for an injection molding machine. It would also do some of them the huge favor of simplifying their logistics. You don't have to wait for a ship to arrive from China with your models if you make them domestically! Sure, there are still going to be price advantages to mass production and automation in injection molding but this technology is really in its infancy. This could reshape just tons of industries if it can get enough traction.

ironically, i'm split between the two they use, and would love to see a comparison. (not wanting to give away the spoiler) - between the 2, which would you suggest?

Functionally, I’m assuming that whole room of printers, naturally warms the room up A LOT. Notwithstanding the additional environmental controls. You definitely need a mask in there for the fumes unless they vent them from behind.

I'm a Titan Forge subscriber, and I bought their minis before I had a 3D printer. The SioCast resins are okay and sturdy, but nowhere near as detailed as the ones I print on an Anycubic 8k printer. So that's not the best advert to say that the 6K results are comparable.
