Thanks for all the print pics. It was hard to choose a clear winner. If you want a chance to be picked for the next thread here's some things I look for:>in focus>nothing in the background>HD/UHD photo>no paint (undercoat is ok)>bonus points if its not warhammer
Also thinking of removing the printer guide and just having entries for FDM/Resin in budget/richfag categories. So would like to see some discussion around which printers to be nominated.
Whoever this Anon is, I followed your advice after turning UV down in SatelLite from 255 to 200 and ran my first resin print without calibrating, and results were pretty much perfect. Thank you!
>>97181859And the result:
>>97181865Some of the fine details are a little under printed, like the quillion on the greatsword and the belly plates on the big suit of machine armor. Is this overexposure? And if so should I drop the UV further or shorten the exposure time?
Any tips for supporting the LI primarch models?

>>97181041Is it ok to print firstborns so big? He's taller even without a base.I don't want them to be primaris size (It would be weird while fighting actual primaris), but the tiniest magnets I could get won't fit into their wrists if I make them in the original size.>>97182437I like those so much! Are they from ADF?
How hard is it to get this done in the winter? I was thinking of going to my buddy's place, there's like 5 people living there and they're long time friends, and I just lost my job so I figured while I'm waiting to get another one, I could get on learning to use the resin printer. It's next to a window but it's also cold af out right now. Is it easy to build some kind of ventilation tube or is it not worth the trouble? I don't want to jack up their heating bill. Also I have never done a 3D print before but there is a manual and there's always YouTube.
>>97183222Temperature isn't as important for resin printing as it is for FDM, but the window might be a problem, since it cures with UV light.
>>97183262So should I bring it outside? I'm worried about the fumes. And there are curtains. But I still need to get the fumes out somehow.
>>97183274No, you must keep it from UV light. The only UV light that must affect your resin must be the one below the machine's vat.The printer I use is in a room with a ventilator thingy in the wall that take the gases out. We still use a mask tho.Maybe that's the reason I've never had troubles with fumes. Or maybe I'm just exaggerating and they aren't a big deal, as everyone in these threads keeps telling me.
>>97182414>>97182429>>97182437>>97182444looks like you got lost friend. here let me show you the way to >>>/tg/wip/
>>97182256NVM, seems to be under exposure. Upping exposure to 1.8s from 1.6 for next set of prints to see what happens.
>>97183222Temperature is a factor, but the thing is that the printing itself causes quite the heat, the light runs hot and the resin reaction creates heat.That is why the first layers while the resin is cold and viscous can fail quite easy because of the low temps but later layers are fine. For me it is enough to warm the bath with a heatgun beforehand and let it run with slightly higher cure times at around 10 Degrees Celsius.
I got some prints, but a few appear to have burst and resin has leaked from the inside onto the other minis. Aside from feeling scammed is there any way to salvage the minis? I rather hurriedly took them all outside when I saw the liquid as I know UV cures it, but could it be put in IPA or something and the excess scraped off? Or is it too late for that as I've already put it all under the sun for a day or two?
Saw the post about flesh coloured resin in the last thread. Whats wrong with it? Sometimes its cheaper on Amazon than grey, so i ended up with a couple of bottles a while ago too. Once painted, what does it matter?
>>97183222>Is it easy to build some kind of ventilation tubeKinda, depending on your willingness to carve a hole in the printer lid and what options you have for getting the other end of the hsoe outside without having to punch a hole through the wall.Though even if the printer has its fumes sent right outside the room you do this in, and a number of rooms nearby as well, will stink to high heaven from the "get the minis off the build plate and wash them" bit.>>97184503If the resin has cured then it's has become a permanent part of the mini, and any chemical that'll dissolve it will dissolve the mini too. (The mini itself is after all nothing but cured resin.)
what creator makes good dryad proxies?I have a scan of dryads but the 3D seem way too buttery
>>97185369>I have a scan of dryads but the 3D seem way too butteryThings often looks better printed, not that this saves every half-arsed scan of course.
>>97184829Nothing, it just threw me off to see it man. >>97184503If the resin is still a liquid, washing it in 90+% IPA could clean it off the cured resin, make sure to also dunk it in water after to clean off the IPA and let it dry fully. If its already turned to hard stuff you can try to salvage it by scraping it off although it probably wont turn out well. Hell, theres probably going to be some cured bits stuck on since you've left it under the sun
I am trying to print this warhounds shoulders at the most ideal position. For quality that is. For printing it apparently is shit.
>>97181865Just went to print a fresh plate and noticed resin spatter on the inside of the printer hood. Tried wiping it with a microfibre cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol but that didn’t achieve much. Saturn 4 ultra 16k chads, is a little resin spatter on the inside of the printer hood normal?
>>97183387i forgot about that thread. thanks big guy
