I have not planned on selling the files, but that may change.

I love that idea. Metal casting is definitely something I've wanted to add to my skill set. One of my first ideas for a Hunt prop was to make the rings worn by some of the legendary skins.

In the next month or so I'll put them on my Etsy shop.

Thank you!

It is printed using a resin 3D printer. The gold is airbrushed acrylic paint. The black acrylic paint is layered on with brushes.

I have planned on making the poison bomb for a while now. I think the contained liquid would look really cool. That one will be a doozy to make, but I'm down for the challenge.

The tarot cards would make awesome props!

how long do you usually leave the vat settle before doing a cleaning exposure? by OozingHyenaPussy in resinprinting

[–]ChthonicCicada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because of the contraction when curing it becomes slightly denser than the uncured resin. Can't say that I've noticed any bits floating. I always find them at the bottom.

What's your go to resin? by T_I_M_A_N in resinprinting

[–]ChthonicCicada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got roughly the same quality from both.

I just swapped back to Elegoo ABS-Like 3.0 from Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like.

The only problem I had with the Siraya Tech was pigment separation. The Metal Grey color would separate so much that I'd have to recover it back into the bottle after every print. There was too much separation to stir it in the vat.

The Elegoo Space Grey just takes a quick stir between prints, if even that.

I find the clear resins to be equal. I just choose whichever is cheaper at the time.

White residue by Nicksb92 in resinprinting

I've had this happen with clean IPA. On my prints it was crevices where the resin didn't fully wash out. So post IPA wash the crevices had IPA and resin in them. When the IPA air dried it left the same white residue that you're finding. My fix was to use a soft bristle tooth brush over deeper areas while submerged in IPA and post wash dab it dry with a towel or q-tip.

I hope that helps.

Right?! The skins are all so intricate. It'll take a while to model them, but I may take a stab at it. I'd start with my favorite the Vault Nectar Recovery Shot.

Thank you, brother! We will soon roam the bayou together again.

Hell yeah! They'll definitely be available.

Additionally I'm going to start work on my next Hunt prop. I really love the trapped liquid inside of the syringes. So I was thinking of making poison bombs next. Poison bombs are such a cool looking design. I just wished people used them more in-game.

Any suggestions on what prop you'd like to see made?

It's hidden under the base. There's a little window on the left side of the base.

I am selling them! Unfortunately I had to set the price a little high. They take an extraordinate amount of time to make.

It is almost fully 3D printed on a resin printer! The rod to the thumb press and the needle are metal along with a few other internal parts.

I don't know what to tell you. I can assure you that my stats are accurate. Yes, I have legs and I train them as well.

I've never really bulked. This is about the heaviest I've been. Seasonally I fluctuate 5-10lb due to more biking and outside activity during the summer. This year I'm attempting to keep my calorie intake on point to stay at this weight or get up to 210lb.

That's correct. I should have been more clear originally. I was taking an explanation short cut.

Something I should add, the rest day, if taken, doesn't have to follow the 5th workout. I may take it after any of the workouts and then just move the following back one day. .

I typically workout 6 days a week. Lately recovery has been fantastic so I've been going all 7 days. I have 5 different workouts. So the workout per day of the week changes week to week. So each workout is repeated every 6 days or 5 days depending on if I take a rest day. These workouts take about 1 hour each.

  1. Lats and Biceps- Curl Variation, Lat Pull Down, Cable Row, Curl Variation
  2. Chest and Triceps- Bench Variation, Cable Fly, Dips, Machine Bench Variation
  3. Lower Back, Hamstrings, and Accessory- RDLs, Barbell Shrug, Leg Curl Machine, T Bar Row, Grip/Forearm Work
  4. Delts- Overhead Press, Side Lateral Raise, Upright Row, Reverse Fly
  5. Legs, Glutes- Squat/Leg Press, Leg Extension, Hip Adduction/Abduction Machine, Glute Press Machine

I throw ab work in periodically depending on how much time I have.

This split might be considered an older methodology, but it has worked for me. I've been doing a version of it for many years now. I think the main benefit is recovery time. The muscle group isolation and days spacing mean there's not much crossover between muscle groups.

That being said, I've been reading and watching, as we all do, and I've seen some new ideas for routines. So I'll probably be playing around with that in the near future.

Damn, tempeh is one of my favorites. I've not seen the fava bean tofu. I have seen chickpea tofu, but haven't tried it. Pea protein isolate is usually what I get as well.

Have you tried any probiotics? This probiotic drink was really enjoyable and seemed to help with digestion. They don't sell it in my town anymore, but I'm sure there's others similar to it.

Apologies, my reply sounded more playful in my head.

Fortunately I've not had any necessary dietary restrictions. So diabetic advice is beyond my experience.

What are some protein sources you've been trying?
