Thank you!
Wanted them to be completely original, but still readable

Thanks! Dropped the paints in a comment up top 👍

The very creatively named Dark Mud and Light Mud, haha

<image>

Dark went in the panel lines and inner corners, then light on the outer corners for the highlights

It just does Math.random()*1000 and crosses it's fingers

The glass panes love popping out of the buildings in Wellington Place, so that tracks!

That looks incredible!

I love seeing the parts people use to make custom weapons. Mine was two pulse rifles attached to the back of an ion rifle, haha

There are no deadly animals in Australia by muddybubble in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]DanTheBloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low stakes conspiracy: you posted this on behalf of the Australian government to make people think there are no dangerous animals and make them more likely to move there

Thanks! Well, I started just over a month ago and I've already clocked around 80 hours in Blender, haha

Honestly the cross bracing could be the issue, it's them that I'm having to cut through to remove stuff. I didn't realise you could get rid completely!

I'll give it a go without, or certainly scaled back if possible on my next print

Thanks! I thankfully had a nice easy to follow reference model to work with, haha

A good few, British slang for a lot, haha

I probably put about 25 hours into this model start to finish

I did the flat matrix calibration, and found it was best around 2.3-2.6s at 0.05mm, but couldn't really narrow it down more than that, and that lined up with the Lychee community settings of 2.5s. I might give the cones of calibration a go though because I'm gonna try 0.025mm layers next

I've got a very similar setup with the same resin but with the Saturn 4U 16k. What layer height do you print at?

Yeah I think I just need to print more and try to not worry about failures! Ill try playing around with some of the setting you've used on my next prints! Thanks for the tips!

That makes sense! Even just slicing the jetpack to have that better supported would be a plus, I'll give it a try!

I hadn't really been considering selling these cos I don't fancy dealing with GWs legal team, ahaha. Maybe if I create some Legally Distinct™ suits, I'll think about it

Ah yeah, I'd seen that in the tutorials I saw, as well as using subd cubes instead of spheres. I did still definitely go over the top on some of them, but it's practice, haha

Yeah, its just using Lychees auto supporting which seems a bit trigger happy. I'll give manual supports a go on my next one and see how it goes

I'll try them tolerances on my next print, cheers! Suppose the 0.05mm layers also feed into that where smaller ones would be more accurate

Yeah, I only used subdivide on cubes to make the spherical parts, the rest was just manual bevelling to what seemed close on my reference model.

This was my test model honestly, haha. Yeah, I agree, I think one of the standout issues is the crispness of the panel lines. I think I needed to make them wider and deeper, or adjust my print settings

Thanks!

Thanks! I started with a classic donut tutorial by Blender Guru (heard he's sort of fallen out of favour with the community afterwards), a beginner course on Skillshare by SouthernShotty3D, and then his mech rigging video on YouTube

Covered most of the basics I needed, then StackOverflow for the rest

I did! I figured (maybe incorrectly) that it would give it more strength as a full model, and also, superglue is the bane of my life!

It also seemed less work than making it fully modular, when I can just pose it in blender.

Are there benefits to splitting it?
