Talae 38271 Report post Posted Monday at 05:30 AM I figured now that I have the machine up and running I should start a proper thread to document my progress. Here is what the first weekend had in store (Sir Forscale for scale): Here are some solo shots. This first guy I didnt think to resize and came out larger than intended. He will serve as a goliath or half-giant. He came with the only Patreon I have backed so far - Archvillain. Two pieces - mini and base: My second mini (and the one that made me realize I made the right choice getting into Resin) was this Couatl from Antimatter Games. Five pieces - base, body, torso and wing, other wing, and head. The base gave me some struggles to the point I gave up on the presupported file and opted to learn basics of supports in Lychee: The third and final mini of the weekend was this guy from Archvillain. He turned out great other than water this white chalky stuff is. Note - he is attached to the base by only the knee, so neat pose: Not a bad start, if I say so myself. I have already been tempted by many Patreons but am attempting to hold fast and stick with one for now. I have lots of minis sitting in files that I can tap into. (This resolve might not hold until March, lol). 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a monthly 50% off coupon, but I keep forgetting.... The Auld Grump 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talae 38271 Report post Posted Tuesday at 04:01 AM Now attached to the base and also had a failed print that turned out interesting enough I may keep it. Failure close up: And the failure in action: 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitterwolf 204720 Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:07 AM It seems the supports couldn't hold it. Maybe this was a presupport? Try to use a few heavy supports on the parts that print first. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaleSpinner 48739 Report post Posted Tuesday at 12:27 PM White Chalky stuff = cured before it was fully dried after washing. Why are your supports so long on that failed one? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cygnwulf 6353 Report post Posted Tuesday at 03:18 PM I guess there's something to be said for the failures still being somewhat usable when you print things head toward the plate instead of back/feet toward the plate.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaleSpinner 48739 Report post Posted Tuesday at 04:19 PM I love how it looks like it is rising out of the resin ready to beat the crap out of someone. You should do an epoxy water swamp scene with it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talae 38271 Report post Posted Tuesday at 09:42 PM Printed this guy for my daughter to paint (I let her pick from anything from the Archvillain February release and the Antimatter Games recent Kickstarter and this is what she picked which made me laugh a little). I also printed this guy a second time on the same settings with no luck. He is now printing again with modified supports and a slight change in exposure time. Guess I am starting a squad of these stealthy guys. Lol 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talae 38271 Report post Posted Wednesday at 06:48 PM I printed these and assembled them last night. Not sure what happened to the head so that is on the plate for today's attempt at a merrow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
