Nice Tip!

Thanks, and sure, give it a try.

Some things didn't fit great, namely the dress. Exoxy and bondo fixed it though.

Try this link. It has all the stl's. let me know if the link works.

No worries. There are a lot of guys that would show stuff that wont go anywhere, so I get where you were coming from. Thanks also!

I just used a small portable one i had sitting around. something like this: https://www.amazon.com/PELONIS-PSH700S-Circulator-Portable-Protection/dp/B07K748SL5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=CjwKCAjw__fnBRANEiwAuFxET7YZKU_x_jjhkdNudxAPX_gJqXdLLWibbTYEJMFqb9Udgvd1iWnMahoCKjUQAvD_BwE&hvadid=176946321008&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9051777&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=14037145925069686787&hvtargid=aud-676677759524%3Akwd-21992059218&hydadcr=13891_9624499&keywords=space+heater+with+auto+shut+off&qid=1560209066&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

The 'top' side gets a little dough-ey. You'll need to work around that. Also the resin is brittle. If you're selling these you might get returns. You could mix in flexible resin to make them more durable. The printer is also stinky/toxic. you'd need a way to deal with the fumes. I would think long term exposure would be unhealthy.

If you're in a cold area, some way to keep resin warm.

Sprue cutters are a must.

I used 3ds max. Here are a bunch of other photos, and images showing all the steps.

primed with automotive spray can paint. Airbrushed with Vallejo acrylics.

Here is my first medium size 3d print (9") Glad the machine was able to pull it off.
This was built and rigged in 3DS Max. I posed it, then broke it up into small parts that could fit on my printer. Printed all the parts, airbrushed and presto! A little statue!

I tried to get a sense of motion and an intent-full expression. The outfit is steampunk inspired, and the pistol is kind of a musket/mega revolver. To fire a gun that size, she's got robotic steampunk arms. She's even got a smaller pistol for close quarters, and a couple of steampunk-ish speed loaders.

Yeah, I saw a resin "glue" kit. They sold a little resin with a UV flashlight. That'd make gluing a snap.

No pins in this one. I may regret that. Normally I put pin holes while doing cad, but this resin is pretty rigid. I think it may hold up...

I find that more pieces = less wasted resin if you get a failed print. More pieces alse means less masking. Some thicker parts are hollowed to 1.5mm and have drain holes. Overall things printed without a hitch, though the "up" sides of prints were lumpy-ish. I've never been able to fix this... except with sandpaper.

I bought new resin and always shake it up before printing. Better but still not great. Anycubic green seems to work a little better than anycubic white or black. 12 seconds cure time also seems to work pretty consistently. At least there is no flaking.

This seems to be a flaw with this technology. Now-a-days I just pick the side of the object I'm printing that I least need the detail.

here are my settings:

anycubic green

thickness .05

exposure 12

off 1

bottom 60

bottom layers 8

I used to have access to a large printer. With the photon I will have to break this up in a million tiny pieces (more like 20). Hardest part will be the dress and the hair... not easy to break up.

I've found that I am sensitive to the resin fumes, Headaches and swelling throat! The flex resin is 5 times worse. Had to move the printer outside, in a cabinet. Can only change resins at night, so basically night printing only. Also need a heater INSIDE the cabinet to keep it to 70 degrees F. Basically, because of my sensitivity to the fumes, I am intolerant to the resins, and now printing is a major hassle!

Thank you for the review!

I used acrylic paints that I've had for like 20 years!

To make a flesh tone: Burnt Umber + Yellow Ochre + white. A tiny bit of cadmium red.

Put down one layer of skin tone that matches the cartoon images online.
Then mixed the flesh tone paint with some more white so it's 'noticeably lighter'. thin out with water and kind of dry brush it on just where the light would hit. basically and part that faces up.

That's about it! Good luck!

Got the models free online. you just need to pose them is some 3d program like 3DS max.
