Anyone else have an anycubic m7 that their having issues with? Had it for a while and lately it's not able to print the same level of detail or model in general that it used to. Tried re-leveling it, changing settings, changing to the standard resin v2 but nothing seems to work.
Gotta buy some more resin. Last time I got elegoo 2.0, but there's 3.0 floating around slightly cheaper. Is there a big difference? Google is giving me conflicting results.
>>96497693Get sunlu/jayo abs-like dark greyDon't bother with elegooAlso IIRC elegoo 3.0 is objectively worse than 2.0
>>96497927I'm not seeing either of those where I am, in stores I'd usually look at, or on Amazon. What's the advantage over the Elegoo? Only problem I've had is it's a bit fragile and can shatter easily, but I'm relatively new to printing.
My bambu labs P1S arrived today. Ive been printing in resin and been happy with the results but im hoping an fdm printer will help me for the really large terrain and tanks.Any tips for tanks beside the usual 0.2mm nozzle and slower speeds?
>>96497970I get it from ebayIt's just the pinnacle of abs-like resin with very high durability and can be flexed a lot
>>96498051Just ordered it. I'll see how it goes, I guess. Cheers.

>>96498222sorry, I meant to say 3rd edition imperial stormtrooper and steel legion scans
>>96498240Here’s why the Baneblade poster wants a raw 3D scan with no edits for 3D modeling and conversion:>1. It keeps the real-world scale and proportions intact. Every component, from the cannon to the tracks, is >accurately represented in terms of size and placement. Many reworked models mess with these proportions, >changing how parts like the engine stacks or sponsons fit together, which can throw off the overall feel.>2. The scan captures all the fine details, like wiring, guards, and gunners, that are easy to lose in a reworked >model. When you mess with a model, you risk changing small but important features that affect the look and >function of the build. With a raw scan, all those minute details are preserved, giving you a solid foundation to >build from.>3. Starting with a raw scan means you’ve got the freedom to tweak things as you want without screwing up the >proportions or important details. A process model from someone else can change those details, mess with >scale, or throw off proportions without you even knowing. Plus, a lot of proxy models mess with the proportions >of components, altering the general shape and size, and throwing off the overall look.

can you queers please stop giving the autist oxygen and post some god damn prints
>>96499541sure thing here's a model I was thinking about printing

I was told you were the resinfags by /diy/.I print videogame console enclosures so feel free to ignore my question if it's not related enough.I'm looking to get the same results I get from ordering prints from PCB way at home.I have a UniFormation GKtwo and I use Siraya Tech resin.My prints are sharper than PCBway's but mine are brittle, screws shatter any posts I try to screw in to but my prints have sharper corners but are less transparent, I don't mind losing some transparency but I would want to tint the resin dark.I'm considering printing flat to get the best bottom/top surfaces but I'd need a printer that can handle 150mm, at present I'm printing at an angle and sanding.What can I do to get the same results as them?
Should I print this?
>>96500528You probably want a clear resin that's called something like tough, flexible, or ABS-like. A gloss coat of varnish will help a lot with getting stuff as clear as theirs, doing it just by sanding and then buffing with various polishing compounds will take aeons. If you're going all in on clear resin then maybe a 385nm printer might give you slightly better print quality, that's the sales pitch at least.
>>96500783>
>>96500528>My prints are sharper than PCBway's but mine are brittle, screws shatter any posts I try to screw in toTry looking into heated inserts so you can have a stronger threads for your screws. All you need is a soldering iron.
>>96500783What is constructor its not a Canon vehicle i an aware of?
>>96501550boss it means its a banblade construction kit not a type of tank called a constructor
Quick question: I ordered a 3d printed model, and there's a part that's still a bit goopy and sticky, like it's not fully cured. Can I just leave it under a UV light for a bit to rectify that? I don't know anything about this stuff.
>>96501627firsly, are you sure it's 3D printed and not cast resin?secondly: yes, if it's 3D printed you can leave it under a UV light or under direct sunlight and it will cureYou can remove resin residue with any pharmacy alcohol >90º
>>96501728>firsly, are you sure it's 3D printed and not cast resin?Yeah, it's still got some straggler supports and stuff.>secondly: yes, if it's 3D printed you can leave it under a UV light or under direct sunlight and it will cure>You can remove resin residue with any pharmacy alcohol >90ºThank you!
>>96501601Is it base baneblade or the stormhammer
>>96501963It's the baneblade plus all variations
>>96501408Seconding the threaded inserts. Anon here is right, the heated ones are probably the best for what you're using them for and will look the best after one or two practice fuck-ups. There's also versions that are friction-fit, which aren't as structurally stable as the heat-set, and versions that you glue in, which tend to look less neat than the heat-set. The glued inserts are okay if you hate the idea of using a soldering iron for some reason.
>want to 3d print something>everyone that has a 3d printer acts like a fucking diva>3d printing services are asking so much that I might as well pay full GW priceI really do not want to buy a fucking printer for a couple of models.
>>96502532Then you pay for them. It's really that simple.
>>96502532what do you want, do you live in the USA, do you have a way I can contact you
>>96502532>everyone that has a 3d printer acts like a fucking divaif you had a 3D printer you'd understand it's a hassle and nothing like a normal printer>UHH YOU JUST HIT PRINT.. and uhh.. .can you print this for me?... IT CAN'T BE THAT EXPENSIVEpay or get printing nigger
>>96502644>the hassle>press printNo wonder anon called you a diva
>>96502592>>96502644Think you are missing the GW price part. $50 dollars for 5 models, might as well just buy the 5 models from GW, oddly enough GW sells them for $45>>96502638Sadly I live in Necromunda, but I usually travel to the USA and back.
Alright /3dpg/, I need adviceI recently bought some 3D printed models. The owner made the mistake of hollowing them out but he didn't put any drainage holes.So now I have ten models that have liquid resin inside. It's been some months and two of them have already started leaking liquid resin in places.I have a hand drill, but I also have a printer myself. Could I save the models by manually drilling holes in all of them and draining them by hand, potentially making a mess? Or should I just throw them away and print them myself? I've already been refunded the money so either option is fine by me.Pic unrelated
>>96502936>Could I save the models by manually drilling holes in all of them and draining them by handI did this with some stuff I didn't realize had voids until afterwards.Worked pretty well but did make a mess. I did it with the models submerged in IPA.
>>96503000What size would you recommend for the drill? Will it all drain out with just 1mm diameter?
>>96503082Might work. I would go a little bigger but it depends on what part of the model you are drilling into. Aim for the biggest void area.Just use a small size then go up if you need to. If it doesn't drain enough go bigger.
>>96500827Can I use a blend of different resins?Any specific reocmendations? What’s the best way to tint resins?>>96501408Roger that, heat inserts it is
>>96502936You could drill a hole inside and put 405nm leds into the interiors to cure it
i only have this model
>>96503897oh wait i also have this one
I went through 100 nitrile gloves in my first week of printing
>>96504246I don't even bother with a glove anymore.
>>96504569I don't want to develop a sensitivityIf it were just health risks I wouldn't care
Fuck it, anyone have Skinks? I hate the One Page Rules headdresses on every gecko model.
Anyone know any artist that 3D prints heavy melee weapons that would look good on Chaos Space Marines Legionaries? Just noticed the old combat patrol doesn't come with all the Kill Team Box options so might as well print something cool myself.
I'm thinking of buying some STLs from Wargame Atlantic or Medbury Minatures and sending them to a local company that prints. Do STLs have their size in the file or do I need to tell the company how big I want each print?
>>96506270When you load an STL and put it on your build plate it tells you how tall the model will be printed with supports so kind of but not really
>>96499750>>96499870>>96503897>>96503942Can you just post the model so, anon leaves.>>96500283Also is it scratch made model!? will he be satisfied.
>>96506276So if I dled the files and sent them to the print company without opening them. When they load the files into the software it will give them the saved print size setting of the file, or it will give then the default print size of their printer/setup?Of should I just tell them how big I want them and hope they can do they math, subtracting supports and stuff?
>>96506270The default size is in the file, and most files are scaled to 28mm already. Some a a bit bigger, others a bit smaller, just like with regular miniatures. In the slicer software you can set a percentage of size too, like print at 80% size, or print at 145% size and you can tell a company to do that, but how big that will end up being is something you need to find out yourself.
>>96506323If you're that worried about it you should open the files up in something and determine if they're the right size before you send them off (Windows has 3D builder/viewer; that'll work fine for the purpose). If it's not the right size, you can scale in whatever you're using to view and save new versions out to send off (no need to rely on the company to do the job for you).
>>96502032Yet to see an actual model post that isn't just an image ripped directly from Cults3D.Let alone a file, Guess baneblade poster is here forever..
Well at least you keep the thread bumped you pathetic autist.
>>96507450We've gone through 4 threads so far, everything is getting bumped so fast to the next thread your posts get buried in baneblades. 100 baneblades.
>>96508113So does this come in four sponsons or just two? and what bout attachments for guns that come with the baneblade stock kit?
>>96508113>So does this come in four sponsons or just two?So does this come in four sponsons or just two?
>>96508147It's all the available parts overlapped, there are 4 and 2 sponson options.
>>96508398Show us. Post the files. Post the images.
>>96508518>usIts only you
>>96508518this nigga is samefagging so harddid you join 4chan yesterday?
>>96509476Is op the same guy who posted the baneblade 3d image?
>baneblade autist is actually a sneaky chang trying to sell the stlswould make sense if true
>>96502936Yes, you can save them by draining them. Ideally you'd find a way to cure the inside, but you could probably get away with draining them and washing them out.
why would somwone scan the entire sprue? printing it would waste so much resin.
>>96505097Search for Cuetzpal Empire.
>>96510674Because it's easier. It's up to you to part stuff out and support it.
>>96510674It's better just to cut the pieces down in blender/zbrush in print them individually or use them for digital kitbashing That's mainly what it's meant for, I don't think anybody is printing the actual full spruesPrinting individual parts is also super annoying compared to just digitally kitbashing together full minis and printing them like that
>>96510674For lost wax casting
>>96508518Post bussy baneboi, and I'll post the file.
I haven't airbrushed in a while and so my skills are rusty, the primer didn't come out nicely and so I lost a bit of detail particularly around the faces on my 18mm printsGranted, I could only see those details by using a loupe but still
>>96511312inb4 nickado avocado>>96511389ok?
>>96508113More, you need more.
fdmanons, how do you print your powerpacks? I've tried just about every combination of orientations and supports conceivable, but I still manage to have some part of them get absolutely buggered
>>96510674>So much resinThe whole 5 cent
>>96510473Would explain why no files have been posted yet
