>>96566868a hot glue gun makes a great ghetto 3d printer
>>96566891and in a pinch, you just need the gluestickshere are some glue objective markers
>>96566868STL?
Removing the supports on this fucker has made me draw blood by accident way too many times
>>96567245Depends. Do you want track guards? I don't have that just bare bones muit las no skirts or attachments
>>96569601>>96567245As I repeated multiple times already: Guard by SolutionlesN has all of that. Trackguards included. All of the tanks. baneblades. chimeras. everything. every fucking thing. forge world too. go on telegram and ask. jesus
>>96569624Ask Jesus? Is he on Telegram too?
>>96569643Probably. Some of these channels are spanish.
>go on r*ddit to see if anybody has experience with anycubic tough 2.0 resin>all the posts are ''I mixed my tough 2.0 with water washable and it fucked up, whats wrong with my resin" and 0 comment "is dis resin any gud???!?" threadsAnyway anyone have experience with anycubic tough 2.0?I saw a youtube video demonstrating its toughness in a hammer-smack testi'm making a revolver prop with moving parts, shit keeps shattering like the trigger, the handle, the barrel and basically all of it
>>96571070>shit keeps shatteringYeah, no shit.Use FDM you fucking moron.
>>96566868I live in a small apartment. Is it a bad idea to have a 3d printer in the same room that I sleep in?
>>96571144>buy a whole new printeri think not>>96571185resin or filament?
hey guys rate my setup i also sleep in this roomis resin bad to handle bare handed?
>>96571314Resin.
>>96571326don't shit where you sleep
>>96571344yeah thats why i shit out the windowthe drinking water resevoir in this building tastes a little funny but the government paid for all of it when I came here as a refugee so I don't mind
>>96571352>the drinking water resevoir in this building tastes a little funnythat's probably just chlorine, common water treatment additive, you'll get used to it
>>96571376oh good i was concerned because i thought it might be making me shit like my grandmothers cooking back home
>>96566868Help me TG, I want to print this stupid 3ft castle-man but I don't want it in my house. How do I convince others to have me print them a stupid 3ft castle-man?
>>96571314If you can't into filament then don't cry when your prints with moving parts shatter.
>>96571696You talk your LGS into buying it from you, or just donate it.But really, you're complaining to the wrong people about not having enough room at home for all your miniatures, none of us has enough room.
>>96571696mi casa es su casa jajajajaja
>>96571696put it in your garden
>>96571696You don't? It could make for an interesting secret santa gift for someone locally. But, it's just too niche and big for most people to want it or even have a use or really even want to pay for the cost of printing. You might be able to give it away as a halloween decoration.
>>96571739A Halloween decoration is an amazing idea thank you!
>>96571720And that's why I'm printing more shelving to store more minis. I'm not really doing that, just bought another bookshelf for that purpose instead
>>96571880>I'm not really doing that,Oh good, if you hadn't clarified I would believe it 100%. Seems like most people who get a printer suddenly print everything and forget that they have traditional hobbying/crafting/carpentry skills.
>>96571922And that the material just isn't suitable for a lot of things, like a full sized bookshelf that will be supporting various weights. Pretty sure the $100 I just spent on the bookshelf still costs less than the total cost of filament and electricity to print something of similar size too. I live in a hot area with a lot of sun and it's fucking baffling how many people will print some dumb car accessory, in black no less, and wonder why it got hot enough to warp it. I get the appeal that you can print "anything" with a 3d printer, just there's a lot of reasons why we still use wood for things.
>>96572058>material just isn't suitable for a lot of thingsI just saw print files for a computer case.Thermoplastic.For a computer case.
>>96572560Yah, I saw those too and people actually printing the things. A water cooled system might be okay, but I would never trust it with something as important as my PC.
>>96569624So post it
>>96569643>Ask Jesus? Is he on Telegram too?Yes
Thoughts on Last Sword miniatures?Could I print this on my mars 4 ultra or is it totally over?https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-twin-sisters-on-forest-dragon-549311
>>96573092He did. It's on Telegram
>>96573180you can even download and print your own jesus
>>96573257Of course you can print it. Why do you think you cant?Last Sword stuff is okay i guess.
>>96573792There is some really good historical scans out there
I bought a Mars 5 Ultra (for the anti-aliasing) recently and got the cheapest bottle of resin at the store, elegoo beige v.1. I've dialled down the exposure 5 times already but the exposure validation matrix keeps showing overexposed. The minis come out decent, it's just a pain in the ass to remove thicker things like mini bases even with hot water.
>>96573869Mini in question. Its the 6mm infantry that is more troublesome but the failures are less than the successes at least.
>>96573669Sir, This is 4chan.org
>>96573792Slap this on the side of a baneblade
>>96573792I prefer this guy
>>96573959You can't post stl files to 4chan
>>96574264Bro, Just use telegram despite this being 4chan.
Any recs or tips regarding the Mars 3? I got one cheap second hand arriving soon with a decent enough LCD still on it. Thinking of churning out some oldhammer scans with it.
When it comes to resin do I need something special like a fume hood or vent leading to a window or anything? Or would having it in it's own room be enough?
>>96574890Unless you are going all out don't bother with trying to extract fumes. Put it in a room with a window (preferably two on opposite ends for flow) and a secure door not prone to drafts. When in opperation just keep the window open the door closed and you should be fine. Bonus points if you have a shed and a connected mains or some form of power supply.
>>96573792How did they scan Jesus Christ?
>>96575174>
>>96575174they resculpted him. Some tiny details are off.
>>96571185Yes, both are toxic -- resin is worse, but even PLA filament will give you headaches and screw your lungs if you keep breathing it. Don't be in the same room as your printer, ideally have some way of ventilating the polluted air (open windows, careful of drafts directly on your prints, tho), but close doors to the rest of your home.
>>96575610>even PLA filament will give you headaches and screw your lungs if you keep breathing itr-really?
>>96575765Yes it's plastic melted into fine strands. If you can smell it, you're breathing it. If you can feel it, you're absorbing it.
>>96575800my friend has been printing for a year now with his printer right next to his pc, bed and him all day...
>>96575886Hope you friend likes breathing through a machine in his old age.
I think I have finally settled on the sculpts for my Witch Hunter Inquisitorial Retinue.
>>96575963Nobody dies healthy and noone scores bonus points for having their body in good condition when they go anyway.Biologically the human body seems to be capable of living to about 180 years before old age should result in death, but noone has ever lived that long because of disease, injury, etc... Prior to modern times when the environment was pristine it was injury/illness, but today modern medicine should have us all living to 180ish, problem is EVERY-FUCKING-THING is poison. Being in or around running vehicles is poison, eating food that you have purchased is poison, following almost any dietary program is poison, working almost any job is poison, etc...The fucking 3d printer is the least of anyone's worries, so unless GW is paying you for it you can fuck off with the fearmongering.
>>96576280the drum mag of the chick in the bottom row looks too big. I know, rule of cool and all, but it just is laughable.
>>96576316Bolter shells are big (they're rockets), and that's just how the kit came.
>>96574419I mean why when you can just post the file here?
>>96576376You literally can not attach stl-files to 4chan posts.
>>96576408Upload them to Mega or other hosting and post the link?
>>96575886Not me >>96575963 for the record.Prolongued exposure. That's the name of the game with plastic related health problems. If he printed everyday he would be already strugling breathing wise. But if he prints here and there for much longer than a year, lets say something like 5 years, he won't see problems immediately. But he will see problems in middle age, and some nasty ones at that as they develop. Think of it like this in an autistic way:Filaments as statistical debuffs. Every single microshard has 0.00001% chance of a creating a cancerous mutation. Hundreds of thousands of these shards are ejected into the air and into your lungs and will stay there permanently with each printer exposure. Now a few million debuffs is nothing concerning because the odds of one individual microshard activating a debuff is tiny and likely benign. But rack those debuffs up over a prolongued period of time and you will have hundreads of million shards potentially activating, with no way to remove them. Throw in urban or consumer plastic exposure like plastic thread clothes, you are going down a very nasty collision course even if you try to pull thr brakes after so many years because, again, microplastics are largely permanent.
>>96576624Why would I risk getting a pounding from GW's jews or bother making a throwaway account when you could just go to telegram like everyone does?
>>96576304>>96576661Even with historic metal poisoning your body could over time, but very slowly, cycle out those metals and there are treatments to actually remove such metals from your nervous system. But no such thing really exists, and even then, metal didn't largely give you cancer. It gave you some other nasty stuff, but nothing on the level of cancer.
>>96576715>But no such thing really exists with plastics*
>>96576304fair, I've read that even in barely ever touched by humans places in the world now contain chemicals from the results of human activitythe air itself contains microplastics at this point
>>96576624>otherLike telegram you mean?
>>96576408Mega or post the hyperlink to the stl
>>96576941At this point,nobody knows or cares what you are actually begging for.
>>96576280If only you could settle on the gender you were born as
>>96577717Oh yeah anon, I'm definitely into that UwU shit.Totally.
>>96566868Looking for suggestions for suitably heroic marine STLs to turn into a statue circa 20cm high as a terrain piece . Play Heresy so am flooded with primaris when I go looking.
>>96578064>Posting xerself on 4chinsNow trantifa will find you and forcibly trans you.
>>96578220If you're fine with upscaling normal sized minis then there are plenty of HH era posable squad builders floating around. On trannygram ofc.
>>96578318>(s)he isnt already wearing fishnets and lacey panties under that normie clothing
I've noticed that I have very light gouges that seem to be vertical across entire prints, anyone know what could cause that?
>>96578436Dead pixels on LCD, run the exposure test on your printer with reservoir removed and a piece of paper set over top the LCD.
>>96566868Is 99 percent iso alcohol safe to use on 3D printed models for paint stripping?I have a few 3D printed 40k tankettes. The problem is that I regret their paintjobs.
>>96578641Yes
>>96578651Alright thanks!
>>96578653I would use something cheaper like 70% though
>>96578663Is there a reason to use 70% instead of 99% beyond price?
>>96578220there are bunch of HH marine stls if you just google
>>96578447Yeah I've done thatAlso done a live test
>>96579762Not really no, but 99% is not really needed for cleaning minis. But if you have 99% and haven't got a better use for it knock yourself out.
Baneblade poster just needs his chimera, leman russ and that's his tanks done.Chimera after all includes hellhound and other variations
Baneblade poster can bend down and check his asshole for stretchmarks.
>>96580014Might be step motor slippage. Check the printers mechanicals.
>>96580126>that's his tanks done.He hasn't posted a single printed tank. His tanks are far from done, and he can probably print for months before he really "needs" those missing files.
>>96578220The captain from the black reach box had a cool looking pose, maybe you could search for a scan
>>96580547You're replying to the baneblade autist. She likes to speak about herself in third person because she is so far up herself she needs to open her mouth to see where shes going.
>>96580743>baneblade autistAt this point she's a baneblade schizo
>>96580757>baneblade schizo
>>96578641Are you there? Next time get some index cards to record the paintjobs you use. It is a small thing, but it is seldom remembered and it always sucks when you forget the paints you used for your paintjob.
I think i have a baneblade if someone wants it. I don't have a leman russ or chimera
