2022-12-11 21:30:32 +0000 UTC View PostPost header say it all, I hope everyone's having a Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
This is one of the first few test prints I've run of the new SF-135 Drachen fighter. The fighter has been printing pretty nicely overall but I've been tweaking and adjusting the supports with each subsequent print to weed out some mild shifting an...

A couple of new Sharurä painted prints to share. We have a dark spotted camo red tip paint (quite happy with this one, it's a variation of what the pending Navaja 121% tutorial paint looks like) and a tan aqua marsh camo paint.
Da...
Quick update:
As the header states, I've ordered the replacement LCD for the Elegoo Mars 2 Mono, along with some more resin (Elegoo gray), and some Kapton tape to seal the screen after I install it. It'll likely arrive no later than Saturda...
So, it appears the LCD might have caused a print to catastrophically fail to the point it punctured the FEP, or the reverse; the print failed causing the FEP to leak and that resulted in the LCD issue. This was likely one of those scenarios. It wa...

These are the two new fighters I noted in a prior post. For now I'm just dropping a collection of quick Zbrush renders but there are indeed 3D prints of both of them now with photos to follow.

The weather's been stupid hot much of the last week so I haven't really been printing as much as I planned. What I have gotten to is doing more painted prints and I'm also working on a tutorial, on how I have been approaching my painted promotiona...

The more I work with resin prints the more I see similar things you learn with making the 3D models themselves; namely painting the prints is not too dissimilar to changing the material on your 3D model so you can see the details and potential err...
