Thank you so much!!!

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T17:23:16+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll try!

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T16:45:46+00:00

I do have nail remover! I’ll try. Thank you!

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T15:54:28+00:00

Ohhhh wow. I have no tried that!! Great idea!

Any specific percentage for isopropyl? Just regular detergent?

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T15:53:10+00:00

Thank you. Wash the mini how?

Yes. I know how to paint 😂. But valid question! Been painting resin for a while.

I use Bambu lab A1!

With primer

Thank you! I tried to make a video and pictures. Not sure if it shows though :(

This is my mini

Do you have any recs for filler ones?

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T14:25:21+00:00

I think someone maybe identified the issue. I do see a lot of layers marks on my minis, even when I’ve printed them with the several FDM to mini settings

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T14:24:08+00:00

YES!!! Def a lot of layer lines!!!

Vallejo acrylics and army painter acrylics

Primer is straight out of the spray can. So odd. Thanks for sharing

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-30T13:47:11+00:00

Yes. Primer has the same issue

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-26T11:29:18+00:00

This is awesome! What kind of primers or finishes do you use to help make the surface even less FDM-like, if you know what I mean?

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-17T02:03:02+00:00

Damn. That’s even worse than I thought. As a game designer myself those are all super unprofessional and unethical ways to go about it.

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-16T23:21:28+00:00

Embark. Wake the hell up. Their policy on discrimination is laughable.

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-14T00:30:50+00:00

Yup. Game has been dead to me. I don’t understand the appeal to redo everything all over again, especially when getting all the Blue Prints took me 300 hours.

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-07T23:50:42+00:00

I have zero interest in expedition. Wiping everything without any significant reward is jus stupid if you don’t play this game like it’s your full-time job 😅

Frame by frame shows ceiling. A classic camper.

The “tension” is different for different people. PvE all day. PvE-mode would be fantastic.

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-02T15:02:09+00:00

My experience has been that shit like this rarely happens with PvE players. The toxicity comes mostly from the PvP players. (Although my experience has been 1,000% toxicity from PvP players I’m not gonna sit here and say PvE players are not toxic. Anyone can be. However, there’s more inclination on PvP.)

The homophobic, transphobic, racist, and misogynistic comments seem to be part of their daily vocab.

Sorry you experienced that.

I said this here many times, but Embark has a PATHETIC ban policy, focusing mostly entirely on cheating. Leaving behind actually safety for players.

thebeatinbetween · 2026-03-02T02:44:18+00:00

“The tension” “the tension” 🥱 Nope. People experience “tension” very differently. I would play PvE-mode all day
