I found your channel a couple years back now as a newbie looking for help on printing silk pla and not finding hardly ANY content on specifically that filament. You’ve been such a help in inspiring and influencing new and creative ways to attack projects, so I thank you for your work you’ve shared with our little 3D printing community DW. My next investment will be a larger format printer, probably the sv08, that’ll allow me to print masks and fun stuff like that. Hopefully I can get one at some point if they have a big sale of 20-25% off
Have you my silk printing videos?
@@Darkwingdad your silk printing videos were some of the first few videos I’ve ever seen on 3D printing outside of troubleshooting videos!
@@couryrussell7653 got some new ones coming up for orca slicer n klipper printers
@@Darkwingdad looking forward to it buddy! I’m on the ender3v3 SE right now so I haven’t delved into any klipper yet. I know it’s going to a beast to learn but it’ll be fun! Do you have any thoughts on the K2 coming up on release? My next printer, I want it all. Multi color/idex/tool changer, whatever it takes. Supports engineering filament, specifically ASA and CF filled. Large volume printing as well.
As always, amazing work, you have great techniques for sure!
@@coz3d thanks my friend!
Very nice, thanks for the technique
@@Gizms12 anytime!
Been using slick sand since you put me on to this stuff a couple of years ago and I love it! I recently got a bambulab and was curious about how little sanding I could get away with. This video is perfect!
I’m gonna do another one more in-depth with weathering and more & show alternative polyester sprays that work great too
Great helmet, the chips looked really good. Keep them coming!!!
@@falkonfpv good to hear from you my man, thanks!
It is a nice idea for weathered or beaten up props but for people who would prefer pristine looking things, there were really needs to be sanding. @4:45 the back of the helmet shows apparent under extrusion and welded support damage from the print itself. Filler alone won't help that.
@@thomaswiley666 it’s going to vary model to model, considering the complexity of the model in the rear piece with no sanding it came out great. As stated this isn’t a say all do all method just an option for those who don’t want to sand as much but still want good results with less effort.
Your audio equalization is much better in this video, good job, sir.
Yea I have a new set up, it’s much better
Very Nice! To be honest I haven't really sanded in months lol I have been making a lot of smaller projects with my Bambu A1s but I do have one giant project and a couple cool side projects. I have been posting shorts on them if you ever want to check them out!
@@chazhaze3d I’ll check em out man!
@Darkwingdad I'm trying to get myself on TH-cam along with my fledgling 3d printing business here in DFW. So, I noticed you have a K1 Max. Do you like it, and have you done any ABS with it? I have been debating picking one up or just buying a P1S. MAX, though, has a bigger build plate
Awesome job man. Very jealous.
@@redkeyinuse4754 thanks!
Another great video. Love your videos. A buddy of mine did a Captain Rex and I sent him to your channel. He asked me why, and I said DWD is a guy who gives tips and tricks for the average everyday cosplayer like us. I have used his methods and they work great, check him out. He did, and now he watches all your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
@@thomaswalker9277 i appreciate the kind words & support, good to hear from you!
It would literally take me a month to accomplish this project - a week of it being just sanding and filling. However, the grunge finish is a bit more forgiving than attempting a perfect high gloss finish. I'm always concerned about bonding and don't want to see stuff chipping off over time, which prettymuch forces me to do a complete sanding and a glazing putty fill before any coatings are applied. Does the primer actually chemically bond to the plastic and have you tried a scratch test and confirmed the bond?
@@josephpk4878 it’s a 2k primer, meant to bond the metal, it has solvents in it penetrate the substrates pores and anchor in. Keep in mind we also used acetone as a reducer so that helps bond to plastic too. Been using this product in the auto restoration scene for 15 years, it’s great!
Great video..... working on a half life helmet at the moment
@@ldavidson11 nice! Which model?
This was great. I do have a question about slick sand or an alternative. I have a compressor and 2 lvlp guns. In general I try to use water based paints because I’m not a huge fan of spraying acetone and other solvents. Yeah, I know it takes longer 😢. In any case do you know of any high build primers like slick sand that can be thinned with water for use with a hvlp/lvlp gun? Thanks as always man. Your vid’s have helped me a ton in making great looking functional prints.
@@SuperDuperTango have you ever looked at my video on liquitex?
@@Darkwingdad Thanks. I hadn't seen that one. I'll give it a shot. Do you think it'll spray though? I'm doing things like wall mounted shaped bookshelves (e.g. clouds and butterflies) that have about 2 to 4 sqft of area. Thanks again!
May I ask what size air compressor you have?
@@balmighty81 8gallon, that’s all you really need!
@@Darkwingdad awesome, thank you
If you're not sanding, are you even making? Sounds like witchcraft to me.
@@mattlott1113 lol it might be haha
