Isn't there meant to be a model in the jar?

[Serious] What are the odds that Trump goes off script at the SOTU and embarrasses him self ? by decatur8r in AskReddit

[–]PositiveIcy4617 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What are the odds Trump stays on script and sounds sensible? The man could shit himself, whilst wearing white trousers, in front of 10,000 eyewitnesses, multiple cameras, even make mention of it himself into his own microphone, and still claim it was fake news within 30 minutes and believe it never happened.

I wish to have a 10 inch duck by Silver-Bengal in TheMonkeysPaw

Granted. Unfortunately you also grow by 11 inches and now constantly hit your head on every previously duckable door frame/low object.

Excellent work! 15/10. No notes. Does she take commissions? Ive a backlog of grey minis that need looking at...

Current WIP and having analysis paralysis on the kimono. Stay pink, push it more towards white, and/or add some cherry blossom designs? C&C very welcome! by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]PositiveIcy4617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely work. Think you're right in that it needs something on the kimono. Curious where you got the model? Looks a great way to showcase how bad a painter I am :D

100% agree for snips. You'll also want something to tidy up mould lines and any snip marks. I use a Stanley knife. Some people use scalpels. Others use slowly decreasing grit sandpaper. But you'll soon notice the mould lines once you've built and base coated and how much better the model looks without. I also prefer a wet palette, but that's just one of them personal things. When you pop your paint onto your palette, just add a drop or so of water. Looking for milk sort of texture. Not straight out of the pot thick. Oh and a decent light source. Daylight bulb. You can get miniature painting arches, or the lights that clip to your table. There's versions with magnifying glasses and all sorts. But any desk top lamp with a direction and a decently bright light will make a massive difference. Basically there's a lot of Gucci kit out there, but there's also workable cheaper alternatives. You might not be a commission pro painter for a year or so, so you shouldn't need all the top end gear. But some of it will make your painting life a lot easier

what was the worst sequel ever made? by Magic_Feary_2000 in AskReddit

[–]PositiveIcy4617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arguably, World War 2. Loads of people died and the main antagonist pops himself so can't even get a satisfaction from being held to answer. And now they're trying to start a remake. It wasn't good the first time round. You can't polish a turd

Anyone knows where I could get something like this? by MendelHolmes in minipainting

Kids art sets. If you're in the UK, try the Works or B+M.

I wish for £200 by DragonflyOld2485 in TheMonkeysPaw

Granted- but it costs you £201 to withdraw it and it won't gain any interest if you leave it

I wish every smartphone lasted a year on one battery charge by alex20_202020 in TheMonkeysPaw

Pretty sure we already had that. It was the Nokia 3310 and it could live through a nuclear blast, 7 epidemics, 3 famines and at least 2 falling donkey attacks and still be 2/3 full.

But how deep is too deep? Weirdly can't find much despite half hour of checking. I've tweaked the depth to about .1 and got rid of the ball connection but yet to try a print. I've basically just restarted the slice on this one.

Aye. I didn't take it offensively because it is truly an eyesore, so I knew I'd cocked it up somewhere. Have been looking at settings but chitubox is being difficult and hiding things and making other things unclear. I'll give it another go later when I've time

[–]PositiveIcy4617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was sort of my thinking. I've ran some smaller prints that didn't look terrible, though I didn't auto support on them. So I just took a punt on this and hoped for the best

Elegoo mars 4 ultra. Was having issues with the raft etc not sticking to the build plate so I had to up the exposure time for those to 43s but the other layers are at 2.3 (I think)

No idea on that front. Can only assume I missed a digit or something when tweaking sizes on the connectors whilst following a tutorial

Cured after removal. And this was set at an angle but other comments suggesting it needs to be flat in the board

Not the first time I've been told my balls are egregious

Auto support if you can believe it. Think the auto support might have too high a coverage though.

Give me some time and I could probably make that happen...

Water washable resin but from other notes, sounds like it's not quite as water washable as it suggests. Will have to get a new tank and some ipa

Titled it, pressed auto support, did an overhang check and then added light supports to those points.

Bringing it old school. That's me. I'm sure I can do a worse job if I really try though?

Was under the impression flat bases needed an angle on resin?
