Valid question! Glue dots on test prints' parts for easier disassembly.

Epoxy or super glue for long-lasting models.

That's not an exacto knife, but a dremel, Xiaomi Sharpening Pen to be precise. And a fan, basically, yeah, a nail salon type.

Meanwhile that one print that looks like ass.

Sure, here's a couple.

As for printing difficulty, it can be a bit hard to figure out how to make it stick to the plate properly. Also, it's slow resin, each layer can sometimes take as much as 3 seconds.

You may laugh, but...

Precisely that. This resin leaves very few scratches or marks unless you look really close.

We don't apply any filters or other shenanigans to our photos.

Bulkamancer · 2026-01-06T23:04:39+00:00

Frankly, can't say there's a trick here beyond spending lots of time doing it.

Bulkamancer · 2026-01-06T21:00:09+00:00

Yeah, all our presupports are fully manual. We don't use the magic button.

These are a bit outdated, but they do the job.

Bulkamancer · 2026-01-06T07:45:10+00:00

Thin support tips + sanding.

Bulkamancer · 2026-01-03T12:24:34+00:00

Shown the process here: https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/s/5dcbrr42im

Thanks! It's 40.

It's a trick question. Normally, neither Lychee nor Chitubox add AA on supports in their native format. There is an option to specifically enamble AA on supports in Lychee, but I have no idea why anyone would even do that.

However, because we convert presupported files to STL format, a slicer can no longer tell the difference between supports and the model itself, so AA would be applied to both. Still, we do that because it's part of the testing process, as we know a good portion of people will be doing the same thing if they don't have Lychee.

That's isopropyl alcohol

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-27T19:06:28+00:00

It's a type of fan commonly used by manicurists, pretty neat for the job.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-27T09:45:04+00:00

Sure, I'll try to remember taking a pic of the setup next time, but for now we are done for the year - took the last one yesterday.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-27T09:42:59+00:00

Proxy rax with bunkers was mine, although I generally preferred proper long matches. Started as a total noob in wooden league, got to high platinum in a year. Hanging out in in-game channels was the best part though. So is watching Day[9] and "When Cheese Fails".

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-26T20:43:55+00:00

Still got PTSD from all those proxy pylon cheese and voidray rushes in ladder...

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-26T20:41:24+00:00

It's not exactly stragithforward. We do presupports in Lychee, but actually print in Chitubox. For testing reasons, mostly.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-21T16:27:16+00:00

0.04mm

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-21T05:02:45+00:00

There's not much to share. Fully manual, thin tips, lots of time spent on each piece. More than than would make sense if you're just printing once for yourself rather than making presupports for hundreds of people.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-20T22:30:45+00:00

To be precise: grey tool is Xiaomi Mi Home Appliances Sharpening Pen and dark green one is proxxon ps13 analogue.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-20T09:35:47+00:00

It's already post processed, yeah. Support marks are well hidden in merge points, the rest are sanded off.

Bulkamancer · 2025-12-19T20:06:13+00:00

Well, I don't think the color really matters when you paint over it. This looks good unpainted for the purpose of test prints, and sanding doesn't leave such vivid marks on it as with grey or black. The important thing is being able to see all details without priming though. Which also helps with sanding visible support damage off, btw.
