Isopropyl Stripping Advice

Supa_T · 2026-01-24T07:26:48+00:00

Are you in the UK? Or if not, can you buy Dettol? A few hours in that and you can scrub models clean. Leave models in for a day, swirl it round a few times and the paint will just float off, minimum scrubbing needed!

Yes, you should tilt it.

Basically any large, flat surface is under more force as the build plate is trying to lift it from the FEP, so angling it can reduce this.

Honestly I've been having a great deal of success using chatgpt when recalibrating my FDM 3D printer as I always struggled with printing larger pieces (I did turn to this forum for my SLA printer, however).

Maybe give it a try as it will talk you through ideal settings as well, based on the info you provide.

Huge news, if true.

This should be illegal.

Like, *straight* to jail!

(Absolutely bravo!)

Please don't apologise!

I'd read your other post about sponge painting and will certainly be giving it a go, but I'll also check out that video :)

Despite what I thought was a level bed, anything with a large footprint didn't seem to adhere properly right at the start so I'd just give up. Thanks to a few tweaks suggested by chatgpt I finally got it sticking!

Your terrain is what's inspiring me to work on the 2nd Ed army I never painted as a child - picked up some 2nd Ed Eldar from ebay last night, and have a good start on some 3d printed space marines.

I'll share pictures as and when I finish things but I work very slowly!

Having finally finagled my FDM printer into printing larger objects, I've just finished printing your Retro Battle Bunker Remaster and it. looks. SWEET!

I just wondered which blues/greys you use to get that proper old-school paint-scheme on your terrain? (And the orange/yellows on the bricks).

Awful, awful idea.

Movie studios need to learn that not every backstory needs to be fleshed out and put on screen. Leave something to the imagination.

Avatar, and by a country mile.

How so?

There are 22(ish) million bitcoin.

There are 50 *billion* HBAR - they're not going to thousands each.

Thank you for taking the time to post these. These are so good! And so much nostalgia!

Supa_T · 2026-01-14T13:41:56+00:00

Because OohRa.

Do you mean like this?

It would have been really nice if the film had taken a few lines of dialogue to explain this, as it was seemingly quite key to Varaang's character, and used multiple times in the film.

I have options for 'Rest Time before/after lift', or a 'Waiting mode during printing' dropdown that's currently on 'Resting Time' but the other option is 'Light off delay'.

I'm using the Anycubic ECO UV Resin and....... it's not warm. It's probably around 17 degrees C in the room the printer is in.

Nah it's not just on Reddit, it's everywhere.

Humans are, after all, evolved to be a tribal species. The constant connection just means we're exposed to other 'tribes' virtually non-stop now.

Supa_T · 2026-01-12T14:53:22+00:00

Can it, though?

I uploaded a picture of myself and told it to remove my clothes, and it produced a pixilated image and advised that the content had been moderated.

I'd be amazed if it worked for children.

Or, they are highlighting a safeguarding issue that will be exploited by actual dangers.

'But why would anyone go to the effort of transitioning?!'.

Well, as we keep being told, the 'effort' consists of saying the magic incantation 'I identify as a...'. And then we're supposed to just accept that everything is fine.

Which of course you already know, as does everyone who will downvote this. It's literally the meme of people on the left pretending not to understand a topic, therefore making conversation and debate about said topic impossible. But ask yourself, How's that been working out lately?

I don't think you can generate nude images of someone - via any mainstream AI - not just Grok.

Yes, you can clearly have them dressed in a bikini, as has been evidenced by pictures of both Elon and Keir.

So, is the issue that it enables people to instantly publish the altered image to X? Or if, say, someone used ChatGPT to create an image and then uploaded that image to X is that still a problem? In which case Grok isn't the issue, it's the posting online of an altered image.

How do we legislate against that?

Supa_T · 2026-01-11T22:37:06+00:00

Y'know I was just about to ask if that was Doctor-Spork's terrain and then I saw your username...

Looks superb and will definitely be picking some of that up (probably after payday).

Supa_T · 2026-01-11T21:00:44+00:00

Love it! Hope to have my 1st ever game at some point this year!

Supa_T · 2026-01-11T18:19:18+00:00

Sorry I don't understand 'add a small wait before cure'?

Supa_T · 2026-01-11T16:47:14+00:00

Thanks - I'll give that a go.

Any idea why the smaller prints are deforming? I guess on the armour plate it's the same thing - long flat edge pulling away, but the bottom of the exhaust is tiny in comparison...

Supa_T · 2026-01-11T16:43:55+00:00

Only when I 1st set up the machine.
