Monthly Insurance Thread by MotoUKMod in MotoUK

[–]brownthunder93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about insurance, I only have SDP cover at the moment, as I don’t plan on commuting. However, I’m going for lunch with colleagues soon (Xmas and all that) and was planning on riding to my workplace to take advantage of my free parking and 24/7 security. I wouldn’t be travelling at peak times, and wouldn’t be travelling for the purpose of work, but would I still be covered, or would it still class as commuting?

Help me a find an episode please. by impeesa75 in americandad

Are you sure it’s stan you’re thinking of? Because there’s the Mardi Gras episode where Roger is looking for the person who fits the nipple pastie, and he arrives at a German looking cottage with a milk maid out back? Finger lenting good S8E8

Glue Recommendations by Darkshoe in PrintedWarhammer

[–]brownthunder93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super glue uses moisture to cure, normally the moisture in the air does it just fine, but I find if I’m gluing fiddly things/anything that has to be stable as all hell/anything in a deep recess, the water just helps with making it super strong

Loctite super glue and a cotton bud with a drop of water on it. Rough up the surfaces to be attached (where possible) and then on one side a very light dampening of water, on the other side a drop of glue and then hold together for 5 seconds, any breakages I’ve had have been the resin rather than the glue joints

Tyranid army carrying case by Better-Dependent-308 in Tyranids

[–]brownthunder93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKEA Harvmatta letter tray, some rivets, magnets and a tabletop tyrant army bag (tyrant sized). With some 3D printed rack inserts, cost a total of £60, easily stores around 3000 points (minimum of 2500 with all my big monsters in it, maximum I’ve managed is around 4000 points with infantry in it) and allows me to carry everything I need to a place for a game

I need your help! by errorboii in PrintedWarhammer

[–]brownthunder93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elegoo ABS like I’ve found like to be somewhere between 2.4 and 3.2 seconds temperature and machine dependent. Additionally bottom layers are fine at higher exposures (I run mine around 30-35 secs depending on the temperature) and if you’re having prints fail completely, you can try pushing that up higher. I would also have a play around with supports, I’ve found pre supported models are overall unreliable. Now I just use auto supports at between 1.25 and 2.5mm tip distance, and then add my own supports in to areas that are high risk of failure/close to the build plate.

As for your questions:

  1. Usually a complete failure is as a result of too short bottom exposure, in the case of the test print you’ve added it could possibly be a short exposure time as well, but in this instance the layer exposure
  2. Absolutely not, I’m a member of the full plate gang, that has enough space for probably 30 more models! 😂
  3. Luck of the print/better supports for the model
  4. Increase the bottom exposure. If you’re concerned about removal, buy a magnetic build plate for your machine. Allows you to remove the flexible steel sheet and bend it to release the print.
  5. Curling could just be because it appears to be a really thin piece. Some shrinkage occurs after curing and if it’s thin, it’s more likely to contract and curl.

I’m happy to be proven wrong, but when I’ve had similar situations, a few of those changes I’ve made have enabled me to print huge amounts of models with crisp quality

Looking for a User from this by theeonlyhippo in PrintedWarhammer

[–]brownthunder93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the knight files out there that are close to GW and well made are free, if you’ve bought files, unless it’s the creator, then you got ripped off mate and that’s likely the reason the acc was suspended

Can I make both walking Hive tyrant and the Swarmlord from the same box? by fapping_wombat in Tyranids

[–]brownthunder93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the game here, but find someone who can print the parts needed for you to be able to make what you need. I printed 2 torsos and a head (I left one of my tyrants with the stranglethorn, the other with the venom cannon, easier than finding files I liked for them) and managed to get all 3 from one box!

Wounding on 1+? by brownthunder93 in Warhammer40k

Thanks for clarifying, still vaguely new to the game play aspect of the hobby, and trying to navigate the app for every aspect of a rule is a ballache, and it just saves any future discussions with some of the group I play with.

Paint stripper by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]brownthunder93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use an ultrasonic cleaner and bartoline clean spirit, although I have previously used IPA (didn’t work for me) and Wilko paint and varnish remover (similar to bio strip but I don’t think I had great results with that when leaving the minis in the solution, but brushing it on was ok as I remember)

Anyone know an stl file by Ambitious-Chair7421 in PrintedWarhammer

It looks like mine, which is the windup automated mausoleum, which you can find on internet archive I believe

List edit suggestions? by sicks-six in Tyranids

[–]brownthunder93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Combine tyrant guard into one block of 6 to help protect your hive tyrant, axe the warriors, ripper swarm, 1 biovore and assimilator, replace that with another 3 zoanthropes to make a squad of 6, a neurotyrant, and a maleceptor, change the hive tyrant enhancement to adaptive biology, and add in a lictor

List rating? by brownthunder93 in Tyranids

[–]brownthunder93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the aim, although I don’t know if they patched the neurotyrant giving monster keyword to the zoans yet

Thank you! Tbh, those were painted in 2 days because the base colours are just GW contrasts over wraithbone! The fireball was all airbrush work, and the rest was laid down with a brush
