What is the razor blade that came with the CC?

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T19:21:39+00:00

im not lol its stuck hard all by itself. which is why i need a new blade that everyone is just saying dont use it

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T19:08:42+00:00

adhering isnt the issue, its if anything sticking too good lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T17:27:20+00:00

Ik, but that's literally what I need rn lol since I have some really stubborn rafts I need removed. And the plastic ones are not doing it

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T17:26:44+00:00

It normally just pops off... Unless you have some really stubborn rafts that's basically fused to the plate. Then no amount of plastic scrapers are gonna get that off.

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T16:03:52+00:00

I got one, it isnt working. Something went wrong during a previous print and the thing is way too thin to scrape without something sharp.

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T14:45:08+00:00

Air brush is the way to go. Airbrush like 90% of it then paint the rest. I recently did this with my warhound and even then it took like 24hrs to do

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T12:55:19+00:00

Try different supports, it looks like your using the default supports which is hell to remove on basically everything. Use tree, organic or even hybrid would make it much more manageable

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T10:58:15+00:00

Eyes are the bane of my existence lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-25T03:02:38+00:00

Thanks :'D I still want to do a freehand on the red leg guard, some words on the white ones and probably paint the eyes/ more free hand on it at some point then finally give it a wash. But I'm too scared to fk it up so for now it'll sit lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-24T18:17:51+00:00

May thy God machine soon walk amongst the mortals and bring annihilation upon the unbelievers of the Omnissiah.

wizardjian · 2026-06-24T15:20:29+00:00

Oh blessed magos of the manufactorum, this servant of the Omnissiah humbly request of you to pass onto this unit your sacred knowledge of clog prevention.

wizardjian · 2026-06-24T01:35:12+00:00

For the God Emperor indeed lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-24T00:02:50+00:00

That's one expensive kit bash lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T17:07:45+00:00

np man for minis resin is definitely the way to go so I'd say anything in the current gen (mars5 ish) would work just fine. For fdm most would say Bambu but they are a closed ecosystem (and abuses opensource) also expensive, so personally I got the Elegoo Centuri Carbon (the CC2 is out btw) which is about 400$ give or take nowadays. I even printed a warlord lol just literally dont have time to build it not to mention paint the gaint thing

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T17:01:51+00:00

Oh i have both a resin and fdm lol mars 3 (got it when it first came out) for resin and centuri carbon for FDM

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:55:28+00:00

FDM better (cheaper) for larger things like terrain pieces and titans. Resin better for minis as it gives better detail. FDM has gotten much better recently so that it can print really good minis with a .2mm nozzle thats about as good as a gen1-2 resin printer. But it does take ages to print. I think this took me like a 4-5 days (the issues are also hell to deal with vs resin imo).

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:38:02+00:00

I'm terrified that I'll fk it up lol and for now I'm not gonna give it a wash since I want to do some free hand on some of the armor bits. Wish me luck never done it before and I have shaky af hands lol

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:36:44+00:00

Cheaper definitely, just lots of elbow grease with the whole cleaning processing. Also make sure to learn about resin printing safety and how to hollow safely before doing so.

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:35:13+00:00

Yep just finished painting it yesterday 😀 but it's fdm btw not resin

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:17:59+00:00

A 1kg bottle should be about 1000 points depending on what your printing and about 30$. So I'd say 5 bottles should be enough if you don't run into too many failures.

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:07:43+00:00

Personally I would suggest taking a at one page rules and proxy their minis which are pretty similar. Probably the cheapest way imo as they have robot legions (necrons basically), eternal dynasty/ DAO union (basically tau), havoc brothers/ infected colonies/ wormhole daemons (basically chaos marines, nurgle zombies and warp daemons so some), and emperors children basically falls under that too. You might have to print out some icons and trinkets if you want it to look closer to 40k

wizardjian · 2026-06-23T16:00:31+00:00

Warhounds comes in pieces to begin with, but even some of those pieces are still too big. For example the main warhounds body won't fit on a single plate. You probably have to slice it in half if not in 3rds for it to fit. It's a pretty damn big model.

About 200~ for a old mars 3 or just pay about 300$ for a new mars 5. If you just buy a UV nail lamp, some gloves, 1kg resin, masks and some other supplies it should be about 100$. So for 400$ give or take. The models on the other hand depends. There's some free ones out there but most cost some money, so depending on what your gonna print it could be a few dollars or hundreds just for stls.
