Do you use UVtools?
And how safe is 3d printing resin, because all the websites say it's cancerous, toxic and unsafe to have in the house despite having proper ventilation, the residue still gets around in the air as it's almost impossible to filter out all by-products
I have followed your channel for a couple of months now. This Titan series has really inspired me. I Fdm printed a knight a while ago but I haven't assembled it yet. But I found the horse botton and armor on cults so now I will have to do that. But you have inspired me to build a whole squad. I am looking at resin printers now. Still doing research... Thank you for your honesty and sharing your journey!
The way I always rationalise 3d printing over buying the models is "Why spend $100 AUD on 10 space marines when I can make the same amount, with custom designs and better control over the poses, for less than $5 of resin (give or take)"
Hey Brother Sam: the Q and A session is a nice touch and I’m glad your giving voice to the quiet masses who prefer to innovate vs. just pay retail.
Thanks brother! I much prefer it compared to talking about paint drying
I am baffled as to why your channel is not more popular. You tick every box except a goofy “/*o*\” face and you do it with the purest of grace.
Thank you brother your far too kind
No need for the O face. He's perfectly goofy as he is.
For real, the quality of the videos are outstanding.
WoW the Gold on the Trim looks sooo good!!
What color is this please? I need that in my life 😍😍
Just finished the feet of mine and its a bigger project than i thought. Massive undertaking.
Man can't wait to see more great work on every thing best of luck
Nice video sam. Always nice to see your work.
From a fellow Northern Irish man, keep up the great work 👌
*WARLORD TITAN!*
WAAARRRRRRRLLLLOOOOORRRRDDDDDD TIIIITTTTTAAAAAANNNN
Your mistake was in putting only small drain holes.
With resin being resin, it will stick in small corners.
I printed a Gladiator and using MS 3d program I created big oval forms that I then cut out from the bottom of the stl along with regular small drain holes in parts with low visibility that I filled with putty after.
It printed perfectly and the bigger bottom than the GW Rogal Dorn tank (lol) made it super easy to clean.
Try removing big chunks of the interior panels, they will be invisible and you can use green stuff or putty to put them in place.
You'll save even more resin
I'm currently purchasing the Warlord Titan through my local GW store (ordered the head and the weapons this week) so its interesting to see what process people go through to 3D print one as an alternative. I've often thought about getting into 3D printing, but the more I dig into it, the more I realise I probably wouldn't have the required space or patience. I think the challenge of building and painting the genuine Warlord will be more than enough for me, without the additional challenge of supporting and printing the beast!
I am impressed by your patience. I love titans but I could never print one myself.
Just so much work and things going wrong.
Luckily I got a printed reaver for little money from someone in my region.
Its a HUGE project. In time. In resin. but man does it look great once done.
Is it true that out of all 40K models the only one impossible to print is the Tau Manta?
There's plenty of printed manta's out there! In fact... there may be one more in the future..
@@battlebrothersamdo it for the blueberries
Honestly GW could make bank releasing Oldhammer STLs. No production costs, and they could use it as intern training taking old sculpts and bringing them into the 3d world.
Great vid, love the perseverance and finding new solutions. Also wishing I had an FDM printer now, as 3d printed Imperial Knights are quite heavy and doing what you did would be great for them too.
Sometimes you just gotta bruteforce your way through a problem lol! I do like the fdm printer for handiness but while painting I will say I much prefer resin, although I haven't min maxed the fdm printer
@@battlebrothersam That is a good point. FDM would still need filler primer/sanding/priming which is a lot of work... Still though, looks like the titan is coming along just fine!
My weekly motivation for 3D printing! also you look leaner every video, have you been hitting the gym?
Thanks brother! Not yet just counting calories and realising how much I was eating lol although i'm starting to fall into bad habits again lol
Hey, where did you find the stl for the warlord titan?
I started mine and found hollowing after using so much resin i have found hollow, wating your video i am trying to work out if you are saying hollow but minimum of 2.5mm is that correct ?
If I become a patron, do we get access to the warlord titan s t l files
Love your work. I’m currently on my own legio mortis warlord 3d printing journey. Make sure not to overcure parts and make them too brittle I learned the hard way!
Thanks for the warning brother! You know if theres something that could go wrong I'm bound to replicate it lmao
@@battlebrothersam in the end not even 15% of what a forge world one costs lmao
love this project
Thanks brother!
Omg mate, what gold do you use? It's covering everything with one layer!
It's vince ventruellas recipe! vallejo metal air gold and copper mixed equally with some glaze medium and green stuff world antique gold pigment! its so good
I'm 3d printing a Chaos Knights army with my FDM printer, and at 0.12mm layer height and a ton of patience, it has been a blast. I've had a few failures which I managed to salvage, and with a bit (ton) of postprocessing, it's coming out amazingly. I believe it would be easier and cheaper to also print Titans fully on FDM.
I'm currently printing a warlord titan with fdm printing at 0.08mm layer height, quick spray of primer filler to help smooth the layer lines and it all looks great
Thanks for Video. I feel the same about 3d printing and Warhammer, without it i wouldn't be in the hobby.
It's just too expenisve and there is a lot of stuff i'm interested in thats out of stock or even out of their range like Space Hulk.
3d Printing is a perfect addition to the hobby. You're able to bring your ideas to life.
The first thing i printed were 8mm Miniatures for the Warhammer 40k - risk Edition. Followed up by adding new rules and Units like Superheavy Tanks and Titans. Thats was all possible thanks to my 3d Printer.😅
Excellent work as always, loved the questions bit.
One not to anyone else like me using the subtitles - This channel is not linked with the best escort in the world
Brother Garro... All I can say is... What's this about escorts?!?! LOL
I thought I commented this one for a second hahaha
Since you mentioned people who spent thousands on their armies propably being not so happy with 3d printing:
I own an (almost) full chapter of original Blood Angels. Also have other original armies. (Been collecting for almost 25 years)
And yet i have NO problem at all with people printing their armies.
As long as they enjoy the hobby, want to have a fair game, and are nice, i am ready for glorious battle.
(Been happily printing some OPR myself 😄)
Personally i dont like wargaming as a status symbol.
It should just be fun.
3d printing gives more people the opportunity to get into the hobby.
I’m printing that same monstrosity on my Saturn 2. It appears we are using the same version of this Titan. One issue I saw while getting into the assembly phase is the shin and thigh pieces don’t fit together without breaking on side of the thigh.
Any thoughts or recommendations for helping with the build?
don't tell me that now brother... lol I'll have to attempt to build it and get back to you, I know I read he didn't scale for tolerances so sanding may be required in places
Awesome video!!! where can I get the files to print these magnificent models!?!?!?
Nice paint job. 😀😀😀
Thanks brother!!! I wish I had the discipline to paint each plate as its printed because now... well now I have a pile of parts to get through lol
I would love to see the Anker FDM printer you got recently attempt to print some normal miniatures, if it can get to resin level detail I’d love to see how it holds up
I've thought about doing a video about that but I need to learn how to calibrate it properly
i freaking love your determination. i have a resin printer but how do you keep the fumes isolated
Thanks brother! I honestly just open the window behind it when I'm opening it or during the day, the mighty 8k is in a ikea cabinet and its the same thing
Anyone able to link me to the files he used for the titan?
i know you cant share the files, but can you at least hint me in the direction of where you found the warlord titan? i would realy like to make one myself but iv only found a titanicus scale one on cults, is it the one you found and just upscaling? or is it another one? becouse the smaller one might be lacking detail that would be missed on 28mm scale
The bigger one got purged from Cults a few weeks ago. It was from the same creator that the 28mm one is from.
instead of changing gloves i use a rubber tip pair of tongs from Walmart good grip and soft enough not to damage the models when moving or flipping them.
Where do you get the files from? I really want to make a reaver titan but cannot find the correct files.
cults brother
Is it just me, or the magenta-colored reflections on the gold trim are really dope?
Wait, why did you hollow such thin armor plates? Also you didn't seem to put any drain holes in those hollow parts thus leading to the explosion...
Because all I've heard is "you should hollow as much as possible" and thought it would be ok but I know better now lol! There is holes in them, 3 10mm sized holes on the back of each one IIRC
Loving the progress and perseverance over these last few videos, always an instant-warch whenever you pop up on my feed!
The quick Q&A segments are interesting and make the video longer, which is only a good thing as i cant seem to get enough of your style of presenting.
Also, that gold paint going on was hella satisfying 👌
Thanks brother! I like doing them more than saying this is red paint...let's watch it dry... lol the gold is vince ventruellas recipe its a one coat wonder and your right, its so satisfying
Can I print them smaller
Very confused how you hit that much resin when printing hollow. I’ve been going down the solid route and am on track for about 12-15 kg total. All the core structure barring one shoulder came to under 6 kg of resin, that’s including the odd misprint due to forgetting to rescale or the odd part I printed an extra off due to forgetting to mirror. Only reason I’ve not got the shoulder done is cause my screen died the other day. I suspect the armour plates will be 2-3 kg tops. Then it’s just the head and weapons which will likely hit 3-4 kg.
Ah man, youre pritning a titan and i cant even get my mars 4 to print off the test print without failing 😅
I really want to start printing off all the files ive come across but damn this is a steep learning curve.
Love your videos though bro, watching your channel has helped me make the decision to get into 3d printing 👊
I’m currently printing one out at epic scale. Because my wife said I’m not allowed to have a 60cm tall mini in the house
about your comment with swapping gloves when curing multiple plates, i use a set of silicon covered tongs, they don't leave marks and saves gloves
This is so smart! I'm going to buy some today
was already thinking of doing the fdm for the structural part
but a friend is borrowing\fixing up my fdm printer at the mo so got to wait to get that back first
I would still attempt to do it in all resin if possible but that's of course if you arent like me lol
One more thing I might add dude if you have the time, go down to halfords and grab 1K diamond putty and you can thin it out with methylated spirits and paint it onto the skeleton. It is sandable so you can make the skeleton look smooth like it was made via SLA. It will take you a while and you really need a good respirator mask and eye protection for that shit. It's toxic as fuck. You can always hit it with Halfords Filler primer after too. I made a FDM Necron Monolith that way and it looks as good as the one I did in resin.
im desperately hunting for knight/titan files but sadly i think their a victim of gw's latest purge
whatever i do i cannot get anything to stick to my build plate
Very smart dude, FDM is the way to go for the skeleton. You are probably going to want to pin it well too. I;m sure you already know what you are up against though haha. I printed a blown up Timberwolf from Batttletech to paint and it falls over like a piece of shit cause the top is that heavy haha xD
More!
Thanks brother!
GW will release a printer, when they can sell one that only takes GW resin (or filament), only works with proprietary GW software, only accepts GW stl files, and those files only work X number of times before you have to repurchase them
how is it not done yet but ok
I feel your pain Sam. I’ve been printing for 10 months and thought I could save money and resin by hollowing out all the infantry and cavalry. Unfortunately, every morning I have to check all of my prints to see if any of them have split and leaked resin everywhere. There’s nothing more soul destroying than having to throw away fully painted models (after the leaked resin has cured). I’m up to around 100 models I’ve had to throw- so much for saving money and resin🤦♂️
Ive contemplated paying someone to pront off a warlord for me. I'm not sure what that would cost me though.
The most important upside of 3d printing a titan is that it's cheaper. The printer, materials and electricity prices included.
Really wants to start printing Warlord, but struggle at finding really good model for that. All that I've seen just too lowpoly
Anyone ever print one of these big boys with a Mars 3 ?
You do know that the sun will provide way more UV rays than those lights?
Let The GW BURN! For the dark gods!!
I would have no problem purchasing a titan directly from GW (forgeworld), but looking at the piss poor fitting/finish, and all the extra work you need to do to get things just to look right (based on the numerous videos out there on that), why would I?
👍👍👍❤❤❤🤖🤖🤖
Take your destroyed Titan pieces and turn them into a destroyed Titan terrain piece
I'd love to have a genuine titan... but it ain't gonna happen
same, there's no way I could justify it compared to 3d printing
first comment
If your not first your last Ricky Bobby
Dont makw the mistake i made with my titan: the hips/ upper legs should be high infil, otherwise your titan will find itself flat on its face at 4 in the morning...
Just get some thicker reusable gloves for post wash handeling
It has to be pronounced ‘WARLORD!!!!!! titan’
LOL your right brother Carl
Heyo! Weird the hollowed parts did that. One thing I hear all the time is don't be afraid to over cure resin pieces, especially hollowed ones. One thing I've started doing is after I've cured both sides for 10 mins a side (so 20 mins), I take hollow parts, dunk them in a clear tupperware container with water and leave it in the sun. I figure this is better for ensuring the interior is cured properly due to how sunlight refracts(correct terminology?) in water. Call me a sniffer but I also give the drain holes a brief whiff to see if it still smells chemically. Obviously don't sit there snorting hollowed resin prints :D
Guess I’m going to buy a printer , cheaper than the model
"the fact that it's able to put out 8k detail is amazing" there is no such thing as 8k detail, what determines pixel detail is pixel size, so a 15 inch printer that's 8k will have far bigger pixels than a sub 10 inch printer thats 8k so no it's not as detailed as other 8k printers. It's pixel size is 43 µm which is more comparable to printers like the saturn s at 48um than 10inch or below 8k printers which are about 30um.
your problem sprinting your warlord titan are most definatley teh fault of phrozen hardware and phrozen resins, they are complete crap. i cant tell you how many elegoo printers i could have boought keeping 8 mighty 8k printers running ( i now only have 2 sonic mighty 8k other 6 were replaced with elegoo saturns and i couldnt be happier.
Do you have discord
Get a pair of rubber gloves for clumsy work so you can reuse them.
