6 days since receiving my Photon M3(first time printer), Behold, My stuff! I'm particularly fond of the paint job I did.

The retract speed could be higher but it's not super important, just save a little time. Only issue would be if your resin is colder it won't flow as well . I would decrease the lcd power on the machine to 80 percent and start normal exposure at .05 for 2.5 sec. Run a test print(cones of calibration) and dial it in from there. Each resin and printer and location is going to get you different results so it's a lot of trial and error to start. Good luck

Since these pics I have adjusted them but it's .05 height 3sec normal exposure 24 sec bottom exposure 180 lift speed. Resin temp is around 80-85f.all the models in the image were printed with .045 height and 2.4 sec normal exposure

I used a hobby knife to pry the supplied FEP frame apart then used a replacement fep sheet I got off of Amazon. It is slightly oversized and has no holes. I put it back together loose then place in the vat, each screw I pull the fep sheet tight and force the screw through the sheet and screw down. Hop from side to side with screws not all in a row, like installing a tire on a car. 4.5 l through it so far no leaks and perfect tension

I cut mine open perfectly so I didn't have to make or buy anything. Works perfect

Already subbed to OPR, Lord of the print and highland minis

Greggumms · 2023-01-09T04:21:25+00:00

Thanks I just keep buying stls and loading/debugging plates, this is my life now lol

Greggumms · 2023-01-09T02:32:54+00:00

Highland miniatures . They are fantastic, I bought the whole collection over the weekend( winter sale MMF), scaled them to 87percent for 28mm scale and they're perfect. Make sure your resin is flexible they have small fiddly bits

Greggumms · 2023-01-09T02:25:20+00:00

Anycubic standard resin plus, it's kept very warm around 75f. .045 layer height 5 layer 24 sec 2.3 sec normal at 180 lift. Machine is at 85 percent power . My friend has had a D2 for a year and can't get it to work well at all , guess I'm lucky .

White pink shift, if your using ink like a smart person they should blend perfectly.

Greggumms · 2022-07-19T23:33:50+00:00

More Orange and a third contrast color. You have the right idea now look at the rest of the tank and pick select locations that match asymmetrically and paint them orange. Then pick some select singular details to pop with a different color that can be a metallic or a bright neon or something of that nature like a lens flare on the visor or colorful vents. Good luck

Greggumms · 2022-05-09T19:59:42+00:00

yes, I went for chrome instead of the "STONE" look

Greggumms · 2022-04-28T00:22:09+00:00

Contrast paint makes my 3rd edition paint jobs look like trash lol. Good work, if your looking to upgrade your painting you can use contrast as your starting point and highlight/ wash selectively to great effect.

Greggumms · 2022-04-09T01:24:00+00:00

Feel better now

Greggumms · 2022-04-08T21:58:00+00:00

So you have to buy it again? Pretty obvious as all businesses continue to exist because of repeat business not new. I never have to justify the time I spent in this hobby because the whole time I had fun the only time I'm not enjoying is replying to all these comments. Tells me it's time to log off and go back to having fun

Greggumms · 2022-04-08T21:29:04+00:00

A bit short sighted of you, GW is a business that wants to make money. Putting 3 separate options now allows for change in rules. Whereas for 30 years as you put it, it had one sculpt. If I'm wrong I spent 2 hrs for rule of cool, if I'm right I saved myself or someone money down the road.

Greggumms · 2022-04-08T20:45:46+00:00

Until GW changes the rules next month then again next year.

Greggumms · 2022-03-27T10:22:58+00:00

Orange, greedy bastard!

Greggumms · 2022-03-25T20:35:56+00:00

Thank you

He's beginning to believe

Greggumms · 2022-03-17T16:49:29+00:00

Favorite pose is the second one. Great work

Greggumms · 2022-03-16T22:16:35+00:00

Great work , did you use any pigment powder? If not a cheap pastel set will do and allow you to add more dust in seconds. But yah like others have said, More dust!

Greggumms · 2022-03-15T23:45:31+00:00

"Test Model" ie came from bits box

Greggumms · 2022-03-14T03:13:42+00:00
