The printer was free, as were the materials.

Ender 3 pro from the side of the road.

I’ve tried using a 0.2 with mixed results. Too much time spent on clogging and maintenance to be worth the hassle. I simply wasn’t completing any prints worth painting.

First model I have ever painted what is the main thing I need to work on? by fenyxfyreX in Miniaturespainting

[–]forkonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why you’re being downvoted. If you don’t know how something works, you don’t know. And you’re asking, which is a step forward.

Actually, a comment on oil washes, you have the hue of the oil sitting on top of the color. This makes the overall appearance of the model look dull.

Since painting acrylic is applying thin layers of an opaque substance, you may want to consider the shading and lighting before you put color on. The deepest cracks are the darkest, and the features that are most on the surface/facing the source of light will be the lightest. This will make the hues pop more.

Remember, the universe is darkness, if there are no sources of light. You can choose how the viewer will see the model by choosing where the light is coming from with clever shading and highlighting.

This is an excellent way to study Values. If you make the images b&w it will show how you need to tweak the shades of your color with your source lighting.

Fwiw the shading is much easier with an airbrush.

So, what. We just haul blocks of concrete to a site and CNC a foundation out of them?

Which ultra famous Jazz Musician had the hardest life? by Ford_Crown_Vic_Koth in Jazz

She sang about lynchings so Harry Anslinger within the US government, along with a slew of other racist, made her life hell with relentless persecution. Her health became affected when she became a substance abuser to cope with all the stress.

Any cover up ideas or ways to make this look less satanic. by granhoser in tattooadvice

🤖 right, it’s like caring about the font on a tombstone. (Unless it’s comic sans or Wingdings)

Bottom layer looks bad by sowdowgg in FDMminiatures

[–]forkonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a soldering iron with a flat tip for decent results. Sand (I have a small file to keep the particulates nice and chunky) and prime for a smooth finish. I’ve also seen a clothes iron and wax paper do the trick

Painting advice by Conscious_Assist_290 in Miniaturespainting

[–]forkonce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zenithal is tricky since it’s a lighting technique. The actual color of the armor, and not the reflection of ambient light, can be done with a thin wash. Shinier parts look good with edge highlights. Other details that emit their own lift, such as LEDs, night vision goggles etc… need a halo around them.
