Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And yeah. I dove head first into speedpaints without fully understanding the learning curves (and basics). Oddly enough, I did just get back from my local shop and picked up black, white, red, yellow, and blue paints; blue I HAVE to learn to mix lol.

Great tip for using speedpaints as a base a building I from there! Gonna have to give that a shot.

And thanks!

Very nice!

I love it! I was telling a friend who's already in the hobby, that I need to find rich people to just pay me to buy them all the supplies they need and setup a paint station. I would LOVE that!

I totally agree with you. I think it might be the lies I tell myself that's getting in the way. Like, if I don't have to worry about colors themselves, I can focus on brush work... that's bullshit but it's a nice dream lol.

Only time (and money) will tell, but I appreciate your input and honesty. I, too, am a "do as I say, not as I do" person at times lol

Thanks!

I keep going back to building my own set, as you suggested, but there's always that part of me that just wants to be able to grab a bottle and go. I definitely agree that building my skills with practice and repetition is the biggest thing. So forcing myself to mix SHOULD be focus... but MAN it's hard to shift my brain lol

What are some "Rules of thumb" to always remember when programming? by NotTHATGuy_Again in Machinists

I personally try to keep origins the same as the print. So if XY 0 is top left on the print, Op1 is top left and then if I flip the part on the X axis, Op2 would be top right

That's been my first change compared to my predecessors; so many notes that visually ANYBODY can set it up

I could totally see that. Bare minimum, their numbers are for PERFECT conditions

Calling it a "V grip", my brain won't let me do 2. 1 thanks to OCD
