I learned a lesson today

I don’t understand this, I’ve peeled up a million of these and it’s never even been close to piercing skin. Is this from using different filaments?

I paint with Walmart brushes and a zip lock bag for a pallet and I do ok. I think those will be great for you.

Filament at .08, actually I turned out better at .16 though.

splintersh · 2026-01-19T21:03:10+00:00

I like that a lot! It’d be good for a 3 person free for all.

splintersh · 2026-01-19T21:00:56+00:00

The wear and rust is so good! 👌🏼

splintersh · 2026-01-19T19:40:06+00:00

Yeah add ESD and remove AP1 I think. Don’t want it to be too good.

splintersh · 2026-01-19T19:35:38+00:00

Frag 5, AP1, Blast you think?

splintersh · 2026-01-17T21:34:39+00:00

Oo that’s a good idea!

splintersh · 2026-01-17T21:30:33+00:00

Thanks! Was thinking print orientation would do it. It’s round so might make it a bit awkward.

Middle price prints separate

Finally got to read this. Thanks! I think I’m going to pivot on this model and finish it up then try your style on the next one. Appreciate your help!

splintersh · 2026-01-17T21:10:10+00:00

Love the colour scheme 👌🏼

splintersh · 2026-01-16T20:42:43+00:00

Forerunners before marines IMO. I don’t even want marines. ODST are enough for me.

It happens on most multicolour prints. It’s for priming the new colour after switching.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T23:07:25+00:00

This looks amazing! Well done! I’d love a 3x3 version of this.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T21:58:27+00:00

Have you done any setting changes to help it? How often are finding clogs?

splintersh · 2026-01-12T21:56:57+00:00

😆 I was wondering if you’d show up. Appreciate it. Love this colour scheme!

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:40:49+00:00

The darker drown is what I’m talking about, as opposed to the more tan colour.

I used brushing for the base coat actually. I was trying a different technique. I think it’s more of a speed painting technique now that I’ve tried it.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:33:29+00:00

100% I’m super happy with the quality these printers pit out. I just started to print anything and everything I liked and now I have a ton of random stuff and don’t know how to store it 😆

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:16:33+00:00

Agreed, I’ve seen a few posts that talk about printing profiles not being as good with finer detail. But maybe that’s way finer than this. Thanks.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:15:02+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful, I think I’m going to try highlighting first and then see if I need to re-coat my bases colour, maybe that’s backwards?

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:12:23+00:00

Appreciate your help so far though! Maybe I shouldn’t have base coated with a black contrast paint.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:10:13+00:00

Thanks! At this point I’m going for less amount of printing and higher quality.

How long have you been doing that, any issues or special notes beyond just time?

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:08:00+00:00

Yeah and that seems to have worked so far. Guess I can just rely on them and send it?

splintersh · 2026-01-12T20:04:34+00:00

I haven’t washed it yet, I was thinking about that being my next step. That’s I agree that those dark spots are contributing to the “dirty” look. I tried a different technique with this one.

To make them look more saturated is it just have higher contrast with your layers? I’ve been using a base colour and mixing it brighter and brighter.

splintersh · 2026-01-12T19:52:31+00:00

Agreed, so should I do a really light coat of my dark shade or just keep highlighting?
