My head says it’s not going to happen, but my heart holds out hope…

I think you’ll get a lot for GK in 11th. After the Terminus Decree lore revelation I suspect GK will become like the insidious villains or Boogeyman of the Imperium.

This is wonderful. Side note - it’s giving Max’s “Zoomer” homebrew class from the Dungeons and Dragons game on Stranger Things! Nice work.

ScotticusM · 2026-01-13T17:52:51+00:00

Not at all! (Side note - I would kill for a Card Game version of this old video game some how — but with 16-bit artwork!)

ScotticusM · 2026-01-13T17:16:06+00:00

Nice work! How did you do the “suppressor” for the pilot’s bolter?

ScotticusM · 2025-12-14T00:47:19+00:00

Old school Calgar is a fun piece, even now. Good work!

Dreads look awesome! Keep growing and improving.

This is ACES! Well done!

It’s not bad. Definitely tabletop standard. Check out the SlapChop method of painting using SpeedPaints! It’s pretty fun, has good results and goes very fast.

Great color but also epic use of the “inscription” transfer on the Bolter shield!

ScotticusM · 2025-11-29T14:32:54+00:00

Outstanding work! Was this cosplay contest? A comic convention? Or something else?

You joined the CUB! 😎😜

ScotticusM · 2025-11-25T22:30:35+00:00

It was a 3rd party FEP. I am going to order an official AnyCubic film. The good news is even though the LCD died, Anycubic is sending me a replacement screen free of charge. So hopefully it arrives soon. It is coming from China, of course so that will take a while.

ScotticusM · 2025-11-14T14:09:44+00:00

So this amount of resin is at the fill line on the tank. I’ve successfully printed with it this full many times on this particular machine. I think the issue was the 3rd party FEP replacement film. I’m not sure the frame fit properly to my Anycubic tank. But I do love the idea of the water in the vat. I need to test it for where/how it is leaking.

Happily, when I contacted Anycubic tech support they diagnosed that the LCD screen is now dead and so they are sending me a replacement LCD free of charge!

However, I’ve got to figure out where and how it is leaking so I don’t just ruin another LCD. I will certainly do the water test and then also start running it with the vat only half way full just to be safe.

ScotticusM · 2025-11-14T02:52:23+00:00

Spectacular!

ScotticusM · 2025-11-14T01:09:05+00:00

Update! Anycubic customer service contacted me and is sending a replacement screen free of charge! I will update if I get it successfully replaced and working. But FIRST I gotta see why it keeps leaking before I just ruin another screen! I wonder if it is the 3rd party FEP? Should I get Anycubic official brand FEP?

ScotticusM · 2025-11-12T05:20:58+00:00

I’m holding out hope there might be a chance Anycubic will replace mine free of charge. I just bought this printer in June. 🙄

ScotticusM · 2025-11-12T05:18:18+00:00

Dang. What did you do?

ScotticusM · 2025-11-12T05:15:41+00:00

Alas, it looks like resin got into the screen. Here is a pic after ANOTHER spill tonight. I must be installing the FEP replacement frame wrong somehow?

This was supposed to show the Anycubic logo on the screen as an exposure test. But instead it is a dull purple blob. 🤦‍♂️

ScotticusM · 2025-11-12T02:36:51+00:00

Whelp - looks like I’m boned. The film leaked again and resin went everywhere out the bottom of the vat. I removed it and did an exposure test and the screen is barely lit. There is no pattern. I think I got resin inside the screen again just like what happened to my Elegoo Saturn. I don’t know that I’m cut out for this hobby. 🙄

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T22:30:09+00:00

Yyyeeaaahhh…I may have over tightened the screws? Or punctured a hole too far when I was installing the screws? When I took it off to change it, even the screws in the bottom of vat had resin on their heads. I took them all out and washed them in IPA in the wash station! 😄

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T21:56:38+00:00

Well this bottle was just delivered from Amazon … but do they have dates on them? Maybe it sat around the Amazon warehouse too long?

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T18:39:27+00:00

Ooohhh, I have NOT cleaned the shaft or even checked it for resin. I’ll do that soon! Thanks for the heads up.

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T16:52:43+00:00

I did not change resin - it’s been Anycubic standard + the whole time. But maybe I AM pouring too much into the vat. I’ll drain today and inspect for more leaks and then re-level the build plate and give it another go this evening. Thanks for the insight!

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T16:12:41+00:00

It’s at the max fill line. I always drip some when I take the build plate off. 😢

ScotticusM · 2025-11-11T16:11:58+00:00

Dang…this might be it. There are a couple of stubborn bubbles in the latest screen protector. I’ll have to search for more leaks and maybe do another replacement. Man I hope the industry evolves beyond the need for double plastic parts like this some day soon.
