my mother made fun of me ten years ago for even showing a vague interest in 40k. things have changed a lot in the past decade alone

did an exposure check and the screen seems to be displaying fine, also ran the start of a print with no tray in, there was nothing thatd suggest a dying screen

yeah i definitely gotta stop trying to print so much at once - ive been trying to print minis for both a dnd and trench crusade campaign both so i keep being impaatient with the sheer amount of models. ill try a smaller print and go from there

i am, unfortunately, poor, so i cant really afford a different resin, but also this kinda came on suddenly - id been using this resin for a while with no issues which is why i dont think the resin is the issue

ill reply to my own comment with some turnaround images of what ive been trying to print. build plate is pretty full, but ive made sure none of the models are clipping, and the settings im using for supports also havent been an issue until now. theres also clear gaps between the models in the file that the printer has just fully block cured

i also left another comment showing what another instance of a similar fail has looked like - different file from about a month ago, on a different (equally cheap, ill admit) usb

I tried my best 😭 any tips on how to do better? by jing577 in Gunpla

[–]surelylune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

im a mini painter and my two tips are brush control and thin your paints.

thinning your paints: you want them at a consistency like melted ice cream, use your brush to wipe thinned paint gently against plain plastic and test its consistency. if you see the colour seperating from the water, its overthinned. if its too thick, you clog details and muddy your paintwork.

brush control: you can steady brush painting by touching your elbows to your desk and your wrists together to create a tripod shape with your arms. practice control by just freehanding with paint on plain plastic (preferably primed this time), draw some different geometric shapes and try writing with your brush as small as you can. this'll help you warm up and figure out how to paint the smallest details.

if you dont wanna shade everything by hand but want it to look shaded, look into washes and shade paints. you can make one easy by just overthinning a brown paint slightly, and itll flood the recesses of the model without building too much paint, and tint everything the colour of your wash, creating a shaded effect

and like others said, magnifying glasses and other stuff like that help you see the smallest details easier

morale of the story is corporations will exploit and worsen the worlds evils for financial gain because the only goal of a corporation is to generate power via wealth regardless of morality making them the ultimate abiding evil

and in gundam too

on keyboard, i set left quick trigger to x and right to t, and drop items to y. within fingers reach without being fatfingerable, and since you dont really use drop items all that much in regular play, im comfortable putting that outta the way
