    Pro Tip: It's a lot easier to remove supports if you dip the newly printed item in hot (not quite boiling) water. I usually remove the object from the printer, give it a quick rinse in isoprpyl alcohol, then submerge the print in very hot water for about 20 seconds, then the supports peel right off (even the strong ones) with hardly any effort. Then another quick isopropyl rinse and let dry then cure and you are good to go. I see a lot of folks complaining about support removal online and this is the solution!

    • @bro2917
      @bro2917 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The absolute best way is to do a variation of the above BUT utilize an ultrasonic cleaner instead.
      Alcohol + some hot water and let the ultrasonic cleaner vibrate away all the residue and loosen the supports connections.
      In the end your minis almost fall off the supports by themselves and the mini is absolutely spotless with 0 residues left.

If you don't have a yard, you have to let it sit in the sun and let it evaporate or let it settle to bottom in the sun and you can dump the top portion in the drain and let the sun evaporate and harden the bottom portion.

  • @Scribbinge
    @Scribbinge 2 ปีที่แล้ว +274

    Pro tip! If you find yourself breaking thinner minis often you can buy flexible resins. Mixing them into your regular resins improves tensile strength and your minis should bend rather than break. They tend to be more expensive so I like to use them only when necessary. There are some more affordable ones though like Siraya Tech Tenacious.

      If you have a steady hand and the right tools, you can also drill and pin the critical bits. I once had a mini that kept breaking at the ankles until I drilled the legs and inserted pieces of a paper-clip.

    • @liamgleason3416
      @liamgleason3416 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can get a similar but less flexible approach by using a standard rigid resin and setting it to post cure for about 70% of the time you would typically do, this is especially good to do if you'll be shipping the print to someone, it will continue to cure very slowly over time

  • @justdeebs
    @justdeebs 2 ปีที่แล้ว +144

    Tip for removing supports for anyone who has issues: Don't cure your print before you have removed your supports. Before removing them, dip the areas where the supports meet the model into some hot (but not boiling) water. They should just slide off without issue if you do this. Just my two cents :) Great video as always!

      Things I like in a miniatures patreon are:
      1. Having both supported and non supported models.
      2. If models come in more than one part have the ability to laod them up in blender and have them already placed in space for the join.
      3. If you have thicker presupported models make sure they are hollowed with drainage holes.
      4. Folder structure, keep the appropriate base with the appropriate model rather than making me dig through and guess whether this should be the 20mm or the 25mm base.
      5. Generally I am looking for D&D miniatures, so monsters and races from that world. That is specific to D&D players though.
      6. Good detail, if they look too blocky or too cartoony I am likely gonna skip, but that is preference. I utilize most of these patreons and Lord of the Print, generally you can place the models on the same map and not have any of them stand out as being odd style wise relative to the others.
      Hope that helps, most of it is quality of life stuff. Do you have a patreon and if so what is it?

    Thanks for sharing didn't know about a couple of these. As far as removing supports. Make sure you are removing supports by soaking entire thing in warm water after the wash step and before the cure step. This will allow for much easier removal and prevent what I call brittle snapping (where you go to cut off a cured support and even though not cut close to model snaps a piece of model off (leaving a divot) when you snip it because it is brittle.)

      I find Artisan's Guild to be great. I have also had about 6 months of Loot Studios and they are fantastic for the detail and mixture of monsters, where Artisan's Guild deals less with monsters and more with sets. Both are needed for a complete world though. I have gotten Lord of the Print a few times. They are great for the large monsters, dragons, giants, etc. If you are looking for the best dragons they have them, and a very complete set. One that was not mentioned was Heroes Infinite by Raging Heroes. They have an interesting style, and they have some of the largest monthly releases I have seen. They just came out with the Dark Elves for September 2021 that is very nice. Probably the best bang for your buck that I have seen yet. They are very themed as well, less monsters more theme based, such as Greek Gods, Norse Gods, Angels, etc.
      I have never regretted having both Artisan's Guild and Loot Studios though. Both Fantastic for different reasons.

      @@slabri2425 if you tend to buy lots of their files then subscribing would be considerably c heaper. Loot is $60 per bundle un-subscribed. If you subscribe you get the monthly bundle for $15, a saving of $45 = 75% off. And you can then buy past bundles for $30, which is 50%. If you don't like what they are offering that month, un-subscribe and join again later when they have something that you like with no financial repercussion. Subscribe for longer consecutive periods of time and you get loyalty rewards, which is free unique models that they do not sell. Most companies do this. Both Artisans Guild and Loot follow this system.

    Lost Kingdom def deserves some praise, best cohesive army builder for us fantasy wargamers. My fav by far though remains Ghamak for his who-shall-not-be-named proxies and consistency in producing excellent quality sculpts. A bit pricier for both the fantasy and scifi tiers but a discount for getting both.

    On the dark fantasy and highly detailed side there is Bestiarium Miniatures.
    On the more comic book, almost cartoony style like the one from Artisan Guild there is Broken Anvil Miniatures, Their june-september bundles have been top notch design-wise for me, and Bite the Bullet with some incredible minis (their dragonborn are some of my favourite from this race and their latest seasonal reward is a jawdropper).
    There are a lot of creators out there putting out amazing content. I agree with jumping from sub to sub each month picking the bundles you like the most. I follow the creators at Patreon so I get their sneak peeks and releases each month. I’m always watching for releases from: Cobramode, White Werewolf Tavern, Clay and Cyanide, Lord of the Print, Manuel Boria, TPK lab, Flesh of Gods, Signum Workshop, Heroes Infinite, Tiger Skull RPG, Cast n Play, DM Stash, Daybreak Miniatures, Printed Obsession and some others.

    Ameralabs (and others im sure) have a resin with more flex in it that's designed for miniatures in mind, making them much less brittle. Great for models with super thin parts, but they can end up warping some instead of snapping.

    Titan Forge and Artisans Guild both have some things that cater to wargamers rather than rpg gamers, which I think is important to call out. Some things you didn't like, like having extra non-model specific bases, or generic modular troops is something I find to be a big bonus. Good video though.

Every 3 months, if you're subbed for all 3, you get a special "boss model" for free!

    One great way to remove supports is to dunk the model (before curing) you are working on in boiling hot water for a few seconds up to about 15 seconds or so, no more than that because they can absorb the water rather easily. I use this method to reduce the risk of damaging models and minis as the connection points just give up on holding onto the model in the hot water, also this cleans the cleaning solution you have from the model but it does take a little longer to dry them out.

  • @WingedHorizon

      @@williamowens5144 I have a Photon S also and have finally gotten the confidence to tackle LOTP models after many fails when I first got the printer (I tried to print that Tarrasque 2-3 times and always found it floating in the morning) . Most LOTP models will fit on your plate. The Tiamat fit 100% (no resizing), but it took an entire week of printing... I think I managed to get it all on 7 plates at about 12-18hrs a plate. I use Lychee as my slicer as its been highly recommended. The one thing that I learned about LOTP is that their supports suck. They serve as a great base, but you really have to go in and add more to support their supports. When you finish a plate, run it under hot water for about a minute. This softens the supports and they just peel off with ease. I did the Godzilla last week and the Tiamat this week and they both turned out amazing! I've been subscribed to them for almost a year, and most (not all) of their models will fit on the Photon S build plate without resizing. I totally agree though, a bigger printer with a higher resolution would be amazing.

    Although the ones you're talking about focus more on D&D (especially Loot Studios and from what I've seen Cripple God, which I didn't know them) they also try to satisfy the warhammer consumer. Looking for proxies of certain warhammer miniatures, especially Archivillian and Titan Forge. So much so that Titan Forge has created Cyber Forge, which mixes cyberpunk stuff with their own versions of Warhammer 40,000.
