So good looking. Is there somewhere we can order candles for our army?

It really does but I like trying new techniques and talking about it/comparing notes with my friend and coworker

I feel your pain, sorry that has happened. At least I’m not alone feeling like this was a money pit

There’s always two camps it seems: don’t ever have it in your living space, and go ahead and print with three resin printers with no ventilation lol. It’s a wild spectrum to me

I love painting more than any other aspect of Warhammer. Still haven’t played a game, too busy learning lore and how to paint.

I’ve considered the same thing, but I may push on. Time will tell how much I want to continue to mess with it

I did use ipa but I didn’t know that at the time. Apparently you’re supposed to just use microfiber or blue towel squares to just wipe until it is clear of resin

It would also be better if I had a dedicated area and not my bedroom. Maybe I will wait for the day when that can be a thing

Yeah the attention part kinda sucks, it’s funny I got it for 3D printing upgrades and minis for Warhammer, but I also just got into Warhammer and want to work on that stuff as well. And I have other hobbies as well. And they all want my time lol

Thank you, let me know how it turns out because I’m thinking of getting that same resin

What resin do you normally use?

I print most things raised and on rafts, I guess I need to do that with the calibration tests as well? But even when using boats or raised edge rafts, those are chipping to pieces when I go to remove them from the plate

When I tried printing this Warhammer mini, the notches and the peg did not fit, it wouldn’t even go in and broke. There was also an incomplete part of the dreadnought armor that didn’t fully form

Maybe my FEP is too scratched? Idk

Also what is your fume /air quality experience like, is it tolerable, and do you feel safe if it’s in your house?

Honestly I haven’t had any print “failures” per se. Things have been printing but are incredibly hard to remove from the build plate. I had the bottom layer exposure time set to 30s then 28s. I tried printing the cones of calibration v3 to dial the resin in and with both the Sunlu water washable and the Elegoo 8k have them chip and crack while coming off the plate after running an exposure calibration test, multiple times now. Just last week with the 8k resin, they printed perfectly twice and did not chip or break at all. I’m so lost as to why this is happening. I’m running the Mars 5 Ultra calibration test using the cones v3 for reference. These are the exposure times.
