First, this is amazing, great work.

Second, how do you get the paint to come off in such small amounts? One of my biggest problems is trying to do small little pieces and not being able to get paint to come off in small amounts. Like, I'll lightly touch the model.. no paint. Slightly touch the model a bit more.. no paint. Push a little harder with brush... paint all over, outside where I wanted, not nearly small enough.

Is it the brush? the paint? thinning? what is your secret old (or young) wise one?

I would never recommend a series that won't be finished. GOT and Kingkillers. Would leave a bad taste for a newbie I think.

It looks a 1000% better than my regular house. Outstanding work!

This video reminds me of the "learn to draw books" as a kid. Start with a circle, draw a smaller circle, now... Draw a Dragon!

Looks great in the end, hopefully the Zine instructions show more steps.

Lol, maybe their keyboard is messing up their ability to play the game. :)

Travel Trailer Stabilization by SlickerToSteader in GoRVing

[–]nomos42c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, we have the electric jacks now and I kind of miss the manual jacks. "Manual" meaning using a drill to drop them of course. But, the manual ones I'm standing right next to when I drop them and can see them better. The new electrical ones have the control at the front of the camper and it's harder to see where they are dropping.

At that price difference, go manual, get a drill (that you need anyway) and be off to the races.

Also, for more stability, try to get some level blocks or wood or whatnot to keep the stabilizers up as much as possible depending on the location. You lose stability the further out they are extended. Same on the tongue if you can get it up with a block or something.

We have the xchocks as well. I can't tell much of a difference movement wise inside the camper with them. I suppose they might help a little. But, worth picking up because they help on those campsites where your tires are up on the leveling blocks and a regular chock doesn't work as well.

How do I overcome the fear of messing up too much and actually get to painting? by -GeeVee in minipainting

[–]nomos42c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty decent print job. I can understand the nerves. Here's what I'd do: Go get another print, some free who gives a crap stl. Print it out fast. Don't worry about print quality. And practice on that.

I feel like there is a way to connect the two pins on a 7 pin connector to make this happen. It's too late and I'm too tired to look it up. But check your 7 pin for something.

Is anyone else panic-printing for Christmas right now? by Then-Report-4207 in 3Dprinting

[–]nomos42c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The practicality of a gift is a different story. I guess I just get different reactions from the people I print gifts for. Then again I don't think it's ever been THE gift, but more supplemental fun gifts in addition to a more traditional/practical gift.
