What do you recommend for a scanner to upload miniatures?

hhmm so cant have in my office on my desk and not ideal in my dark loft with no windows.. hhmm

I have an ender3 pro and it's a fuggin headache trying to level it. I've printed maybe 5 things and it's always a godamn issue. I hate it.

You never told us how resin printers work

Hello, i wanna just 3d priniting hobby - minifig, statues, etc, would u recommend going for ender 3 v2 neo or just something like elegoo saturn 3, they cost mostly same

how strong are 3d modeling miniatures? Would a small Eevee mini would be strong enough to be a functional potato masher as implied behavior. Don't asked for context, I am ill-equipped.

Man, thank you! Direct to the point, with advices based on experience.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I just subscribed.

I do it this way: scenery and terrain on FDM, mini's on resin. If you only buy one, these are advantages or disadvantages. FDM: lower price ompared to resin printers (the most expensive FDM's are obviously more expensive than the cheapest resin printers, but you have to take relative quality into account) lower cost for materials (PLA is cheaper than resin) less hassle, less clean up, not dealing with potentially hazardous and flammable products BUT: if you want small detail, you can get that on modern FDM printers, but not nearly as sharp as resin for similar quality and price ranges Resin: higher detail, especially for very small scale details when printing multiple models of similar size, the resin printer is waaaaaaaaay faster than FDM (FDM prints each layer on a single model at a time, while a resin printer prints the same layer on all mini's at the same time) BUT: more expensive to buy, more expensive to operate (both the price of resin, but also the washing and curing stations, and the IPA you need), and you have more work cleaning and setting up the printer. I also do not keep my resin indoors, but in the (well ventilated) shed. If you have no room to safely have your resin printer work, I'd not go for a resin printer to be honest, but that is just me. Overly cautious perhaps, but "better safe than sorry" has always been my motto.

Thank you for an excellent introductory video. Subscribed )O(

Just started printing these

Feeling the nostalgia as well... got into the hobby in 1997 while I was enlisted in the army. Had little responsibility at that age so booze and minis lol. About to start collecting for a 2nd time a catachan army. Sold the original back in 2002. I was deployed at the time so couldn't stop the wife from selling them..... So here I am 22 years later looking to recreate my space Vietnam army.. 😂

A bit disingenuous there. Chitubox Basic doesn't do supports as well so you'll buy Chitubox Pro. That's just the way things are. You get what you pay ($169/year) for.

VOCs are not that bad. Bunch of babies

What type of printer would you recommend to make polymer clay cutters? Bearing in mind I’d like to make multiple cutters of the exact same file at one time if this can be done?

No idea if even wan't my own printer around firstly, not wild about idea after using old ass home printers of paper for years when you can send out for 3D work ? I not know what your geek term terrein means in your jargon ? you did not explain , maybe re-make this vid ?

I was thinking of doing the same thing, do you have hexton map? I'd rather not re-invent the wheel if possible!

Can this create silicone earplugs like whoop? Thank you.

One thing that needs to be known is that there are a variety of filters for respirators. Some are only for dust, to prevent silicosis in the lungs; others are for organic vapors. You're working with organic molecules (it's a carbon based molecule, making it "organic"), so you want the filters for organic vapors. Also, a Vacuum filter can be used to filter IPA after the resin suspended in it has been cured. The filter paper on that is more than capable of filtering out the particles.

Thanks for the video! We call them Allen wrenches. 🔧

Do you need to change your gloves when you are touching things after touching resin? Like if you use the scraper, etc.

You lost me at 1:17 "Overall - it's good". No it isn't - it's AWFUL! That is one grim benchy and from a very expensive printer. This is a great way to destroy your credibility. If you think that's a good benchy, then really, I don't care what else you think, and I'm gone.

Very nice video. The top 3D printer you recommend, the filament and resin ones, are kinda expensive, but considering the awesome results you get, they turn to be not as expensive as I thought they would be. IDK, maybe times changed and now 3D printing is not as expensive as it was in the beginning, or maybe these are "affordable" 3D printers.

with my brand new 3d printer, i decided to print a 3d printer. I returned the printer i bought, and now i got a free printer.

This is IT!!! So inspired!!

Wow this is such an epic idea for a board! Where did you get the stl files for this if I may ask?

Hi Matthew, thank you so much this video is sooo helpful! I just ordered an Ender 3 V3 SE as my first 3-d printer because I want to finally be able to print out Johnnys Hagglethorn Hollow and the Gloaming. :) Could you recommend a Filament that is good for bringing out the detail in these sculpts or any specific settings I should be aware of? Thanks again for your videos, I already got a little better understanding on how this all works thanks to you! Best wishes from Krakow, Oliver

How do you dispose of the water

if you use water curable resin do you still need some alchol and a mask?

Great job! Thank you🎉

Looking to get into 3D-printing, and the toxicity of the resin printers is a total dealbreaker. Will have to use in a room where cats and other curious creatures might come. But thanks for the advice.

Such a great video, thank you!

I assume you are printing terrain????

Our first 3D printer was the Ender 3D Neo and I’m not so much in agreement that IT actually breaks down so much as we are beginners and don’t know much of what we’re doing that first 6 months. I do agree that all the fussing we do with it either keeps us printing with more knowledge, or knocks us out. Well, we still print with the Ender 3 and added the Bambu X1C to the mix…love them both!

Weird question perhaps, but can you place your 3D printer in like a garage or outhouse that isn't necessarily heated? Or does it need to be inside the house at room temperature?

Even though he pissed on the Ender 3 here, it is still FAR more customizable. I increased my build bed to 400x400 on my Ender

I am looking for a printer that I can do miniatures in a 1:48/38mm scale. I don't have space to deal with the toxic fumes. I don't have a ton of money. What would you recommend?

subscribed, love your channel sir. im a little younger than you, but ....with the same amount of heart for gaming and printing. Thx for giving of yourself to make videos for people such as me, to learn and understand and develop our own interest into similar things. You shared your wisdom, knowledge, time, and experience to make the videos you do, and it is appreciated. Most of all, is that you find joy in doing what you love! Your other video turned me on to the bambu labs p1p. Highly considering that one because of the price and I can make do without the advanced features of the x1. Question: is the babmu labs p1p, is it core-x-y? and....how is the bed levelling? im on a creality ender which has caused me to learn so much from tweaking its many inconsistencies (you said this would be true in one of your other videos) and it was! dear God! I now am a high captain in the armies of dorkness, simply from the learning experience it forced me to go thru. Hope you see this comment. If it werent for youtube, my interest into my new hobby wouldnt be as keen or sharp. And its thanks to people like you, for contributing to this lovely and thriving community, to keep it alive, breathing, and forever expanding. We get to feed....off your joy and fascinations ;) and thats pretty dam cool! What war games do you play? As I get older, I need something more physical gaming alternatives such as this in my life. I come from computer gaming, MMORPG's, I am an original EverQuest veteran, lol, played lots of M:TG growing up....never played Warhammer, but as me and my kid get older, it would be awesome to embrace another hobby / gaming world to open years of fun and fascination together. I am beginning to give 'wargaming' a....longer...more dramatic stare.

I WANT TO PRINT PRODUCT MOCKUPS AND DESIGNS

Hello, great vids, hopefully you can help when using a clear resin all is well then after cleaning it all goes hazy no matter what I do it ends up not clear I have watched soooo many vids on this and done all that was suggested and still can not get a clear print, thanks in advance, sorry if you have already answered this question. 😊

So would fdm work on bigger figures?

I would like to get into 3d printing. I think I'm too old to learn this technology. Seems like fun and maybe a retirement option as well.

Cheers, I just ordered the P1P printer due to watching your review, so tip of the cap! My first 3d printer! However, I cant find that Swamp building from the provided link. It now redirects to printablescenery, but can't seem to find it there either. Id love to get that terrain as my first purchase.

Parade of enchanting stupidity

Is there a part 2? Would love to see the finished map.

How do you know how much resin to fill with ? And if excess can i just leave in there ? Im very green , but cant get a simplified answer on 3d printing is rocket science when its a simple question and answer u would think 🤦🏾

I know now thank you 🙏 sorry now I know 😂

I still don’t know which one 😢

what about no miniatures? about dolls? like pasha pasha NY doll?
