The most important thing about resin is not breathing it, especially if you're going to use that printer more often moving forward. Put it in a room you don't use very often and close the door so that any fumes won't settle down around your house.
i was like yooo this sponsor sounds dope, wait, there will be a like 15 bucks a month subscription fee... ITS FREEEEE!?!?!?! WHATTT also the making part of this video and the software was suprisingly the most interesting part to me. very cool.
It's gotta be super neat to have one of your projects you worked on for years be so beloved that someone took the time to replicate it in real life! Love it!
The resin is not just toxic to touch but toxic to breathe. Resin printers contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in higher concentrations than FDM printers. VOCs are gases that can evaporate or leach out during the printing and post-processing stages. In large doses or after prolonged exposure, VOCs can be a potential health hazard. Please do your printing in a well ventilated area!
Amazing work! May I suggest something with resin printing? After you have solidified a model, hollow it again in your slicer (I like 3mm walls) and add some drainage holes. It saves a lot of resin and the solid interior isn’t as fully cured as the outside after it gets its second cure and can still cause splits. I’ve been resin printing for years as part of my job and it’s always a learning curve - you did a spectacular job and should be so proud of yourself!
Yup, this is the thing I was screaming internally too at. With miniatures I go as low as 1mm with walls at times and have not had any issues. This is very easy to do in the same 3D printing toolkit that you already were trying in Blender! It has a tab for "edit", which has a button that says "hollow". Click that and you'll get 1mm walls by default, but you can adjust both the thickness of the walls and the internal resolution (to save on file size). After that hollowing out you only need to make some drain holes to the top and bottom of the model to prevent suction forces from ruining the print. All of that could easily be added in fifteen minutes (once you know what you're doing). I'd recommend putting your resin models on a plate wherever you display these, unless you threw them away after printing. They're both big enough that they will weep uncured resin at some point. From my own dumb first prints, I think one 10cm tall bust wept for the first month after I thought it was cured, because I left it solid. I left it in direct sunlight at a window, without any primer on, and rotated it every now and then until it looked like nothing leaked anymore. For cleanup of the table, I recommend getting an oven tray! Couple of bucks for a metal tray you can remove the prints from the plate with, and handle all the resin-drippy bits. Easy to wipe down and not ruin your desk. They do make silicone mats for the purpose as well, but you can buy a dozen oven trays for the same price and they get the job done.
First somebody printed DO2, now Gem's Castle. I can't wait for all the "printing hermitcraft" channels to do a collab and make the entire world download
No way, I'd guess it'd be best to pick and choose the interesting parts to print. Then do some work to shorten the distance and meld them together. Minecraft is huge.
@@domspeller6474 Yeah. Though, I should probably clarify that it's deserved shade on base, not on Mumbo. Him struggling with that build made for good content. Sometimes a failure is just as spectacular as success.
I love the way you show the whole process! As an avid Hermitcraft watcher, I love it when people outside of Hermitcraft talk about Hermitcraft and make videos about it, and your DIY projects might be my favorite Hermitcraft related videos I’ve watched! Using the timelapse and intro music of different Hermits for some of the segments was a really nice touch as well! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this!
Yes! I agree 100% it’s so nice to see hermitcraft content outside of the server 🥰 loved the music segments and this whole video so much! This video was really great for the in between season blues 😇

Another Issue that might have been contributing to print failure was that you were printing in front of a window. I have both and SLA and FDM printer, and I've found that for my Elegoo 1) any UV light from the sun can start the curing process so it would have been better to have the blinds closed until the hood was on for printing. 2) TEMPERATURE can cause warping and failure of UV resin. so even if you opened the binds back up, the heating and cooling sitting in front of the window could contribute to failure, other than those two notes, well done. hope you stick with the 3d printing its a fun hobby.
You absolutely have to wear a respirator when working with any amount of liquid resin, none of the various fumes it gives off are safe no matter how you look at it. just PLEASE wear a respirator (made to filter organic vapors at least up to 20x the officially "safe" limit, or you’ll die anyway) or buy a laboratory grade fume hood if you don’t care what money is
That's awesome! You got a lot of things right on the first try, considering you never used a 3D printer before, good job! There are obviously some pitfalls in the resin 3D printing process, some of which you've encountered, and which gave you some problems after printing. For example, if you ever decide to print more Minecraft exports (or anything else basically): large, flat areas are bad for the process because they start out as an incredibly thin, flimsy layer of barely cured resin that has to hold itself together and that has almost no structural stability when peeling off the film on the bottom of the resin vat, hence the warping on that one large, flat area. To avoid that, it is good to rotate the model such that none of those areas is parallel to the buildplate, for example, if printing a cube, balancing it on one of the corners and holding it up with supports should help a lot. Additionally, if you ever decide to print some bigger things or things that need to be strong (like cosplay props), I'd recommend the filament printers, since a) they are less messy, b) the parts are way stronger, c) you have way more freedom in certain areas, d) the material is cheaper and you don't have to print your models solid throughout. The resin process is better for miniatures and things with fine detail, that's why people often use it for DnD minifigs and other detailed stuff.
Yo thanks that's really helpful! I always saw people tilt their models but I thought it was something to do with the print layers. I'll keep these tips in mind for future prints :D
I do like how you find the music the hermits use and put it in at the appropriate times. I’m watching and instantly “Hey, that’s Scar’s Timelapse music”, “That’s Gem’s main background music”
Hi, two points: 1) Thank you for showing the process of 3D printing and how the main struggle is with software programs. I need to learn 3D printing for my own business. 2) Don't ever feel bad about the tiny brush. My best painting that got noticed by a professional fantasy illustrator was done only using a 000 brush.
My Uncle adores hand painting miniatures, he airbrushes nothing and his ombres and fades are fantastic, seeing you paint this made me think of him. He probably wouldn’t like the hassle of 3D printing but he loves the painting part. The addition of the hot glue felt so right!
You do realize that this did not help me in convincing myself that I don't "need" a resin 3D printer..... This is such an amazing project and love the style and aesthetic you have for all of these projects! I am so happy and proud of what you have done. I discovered you through your recreation of Grian's starter base, and have been here ever since. Keep up the hard work! I hope to eventually have a portion of your skill in stuff like this!
I have a filament printer and omg I super want a resin printer. Like so much. I’ve just started watching, but just be sure you have better ventilation and stuff. Resin printers need more ‘accessories’ and space because they’re super toxic.
@truckerdave8465 I've actually done a little bit of research into resin printing, and I quickly learned about how toxic it was and the need for good ventilation. Appreciate the heads up.
Your minecraft avatar looks like she could be Grian's sister.... Nice choice of base to print...Gem is a wonderful artist and she'll be thrilled to see this I'm sure. Hopefully she does. Also, nice detail with playing Scar's Superfast Buildmode theme song quietly in the background.
I love this! Gem is great ❤ As a maker who knows a lot of resin people, I highly recommend getting a respirator and an exhaust fan if youre going to keep this setup in a space youre living in
If you're getting into resin printing I recommend transitioning from Chitubox to Lychee Slicer, it automatically detects and supports islands and cuts down on prep time immensely.
Speaking of warping, the best thing to do to fight it is to hollow out the model (2-4mm thick walls), leaving few holes for resin to flow out, and it’s better to put a model fully on support so the burn-in layers (the first ones with longer exposure) will stay as a part of support island. You can see what I mean in a lot of tutorials here on TH-cam
6:50 This is my type of dumb humor yay, You have earned yourself a sub. Weird how your not at 1mil yet, very good video and im not even half way through it
Greetings from the Warhammer 40k Fandom! We paint mini's all the time, it's a lot of fun once you get the basics down! You did great with this project!
either print with a raft which is basically a angled edge so you can get your blade in easier OR get something like a magnetic flexible build plate that attaches and detaches and you can just bend it a bit and itll pop the models off easier
Air-dry clay separates quite easily from resin prints, but superglue and baking soda is a better medium. (Wear a respirator though!) I'm not trying to backseat, "oh, hurrr durrr, redo the whole thing", just friendly advice for next time!
a bit more on this: the method I mentioned basically welds the two printed segments together, but it sands really well, so it's easier to reshape and sculpt than cured resin, which is relatively soft. Also, it produces a bit of heat, so it's better to use this technique sparingly.
This is just an idea but, how about making the whole server as a miniature map irl. Like the miniatures you are doing but all put together to make a map possibly for DnD?
Can we just take a minute to appreciate while she was getting the scarland castle set up, she had the timelapse music on in the background! Love the video so much!!
big thing about open interior resin prints. make sure you have drain holes. if you don't the pressure inside the build will build up and eventually it'll pop open itself usually leaking resin over the place
it can either take a really long time or a really short time but regardless without drain holes its like having a resin ticking time bomb on your shelf
What an awesome project! Thanks for showing the whole process including the struggles, the test projects, and the whole workflow involved! Really made the final result that much more satisfying. I need to try something similar one of these days!
first of all, amazing video, second of all, thx so much for explaining the process and struggles you went through, some day I wanna print a minecraft base too and being told all the programs and magic buttons will probably make the struggle quite a bit more bearable if I ever try this.
1. Thank you for putting your hard-won problem solving process in the video for anyone who wants to try something similar! 2. This was amazing, the model looks great, and I’m subscribing. ❤
Hey I know you said you just discovered that miniature painting as a hobby existed but I’d definitely look into getting the proper respirator and filters for that airbrush! If you plan on using it long term the paints you use might give you lung complications if you don’t handle them properly with all the spraying. Great video and nice work though 👍👍👍
12:15 proud to say I didn't get bored at all in this video! its very well thought out and I loved it even though the topic only started halfway through!
WOW!!! Not only is the model extremely well made, but the way you shot the video and edited it was so cool too! I loved seeing the process. Great work!!!
A good tip that I do is to head up a little bit the build plate using a hair dryer and also is good to use a scraper that comes with the printer, just blow some hot air in the direction of the part of the print that is touching the build plate than use the scraper slowly pushing the scraper underneath the printed object.
this is so cool!!! absolutely loved gems build and it looks so cute as a minifig! also i loved the way you explained the whole process of learning how to 3D print!
Chitubox actually tells you an estimation of how much resin the print will use. There are fill lines in the resin vat that you can use to get the right amount in the tray.
ah the joys of 3d printing. that came out incredible! ive never considered 3d printing anything from minecraft before. i can see why. props to you on sticking with it and being patient enough. i probably wouldve gave up after a day lol
not only is the build absolutely gorgeous and a masterpiece, your video composition and engagement is incredible, i was fully emersed in the video the entire time, and it was very enjoyable to watch!! and your perseverance to learn and complete the project is astounding!! you've earned a subscriber from me :]
my gosh this is incredible!! how much i wish i could have my own print(s) of my favourite hermitcraft builds watching gem's elven palace bloom through season nine was wonderful, absolutely one of, if not, my favourite of builds 💚
*TRUST THE PROCESS!!!* Seriously though, I'm one of the peeps who met you through the Minecraft video, and realizing you made crafts on your channel I was amazed! As an artist myself (the drawing kind, i guess) it was so inspiring to see someone relate art to building. And THEN you go off and make my FAVORITE hermit's base!?!? Gem is my HERO, so seeing you make her incredible base is just AWESOME! Just the push I needed to subscribe
OH MY GOSH ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! I love seeing the full process, it makes me a lot more confident in my own crafting process. Love all of your videos so much, you are a huge inspiration of mine.
i have been dying for someone to create a mini version of the hermits bases or minis in general so this makes my day. i love it and i also hope that your next challenge will go by nicely.
I've owned a Mars 2 pro for a few years now and it's so nice to have! It's compact, decent build size, and once set up, very reliable. Haven't had a failed print once after I got the test prints working
every time i finish one of your videos i just feel so inspired. like, i wanna make a mini megabase!!! you just have all these cool ideas that i could've never thought up in a million years. a river made of hot glue?? thats so smart!!! keep making these awesome videos
1st time watching you, and 12 min in when u talked about the main idea of the video not even started yet made me realize that u make it interesting. Subbed
That was absolutely amazing to watch, GG on the effort you put into that. I honestly had a chuckle at the dirt part, I was like be like Gem and trust the process just two seconds before you said it yourself. For a first time watcher, honestly was brilliant. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Oh well, I wish I found your video 2 weeks ago... I searched for exactly that for a while xD Some advices on printing though (You may know these things but maybe not so it's always better to say too much xD) : - Hollow your models in Chitubox (once they're fully solid) with the button "hollow" on the top, it will basically make a shell from your model and save you a ton of resin. You have to make holes with the "dig hole" button to make it works (so there's no resin pool inside). It's hard to explain but I found a lot of tutorial when starting, should be easy to find :) - Print it at an angle to avoid the print sticking too much on the plate ,or on the FEP (the plastic film on the bottom), because the suction could cause it to deform or worse, puncture. - I find removing the supports easier after washing with alcohol+ a small bath in hot water, and before curing. And on the painting (bc I'm one of this "painting way too small figs" nerds) : - The dark to light approach is the easiest, very good call ! You could try a middle basecoat and then highlights and washes too, but washes make things less clean and more grim. You could also try the "slapchop" or "grisaille" approach, wich is using a black to wight gradient and then putting some very thin uniform paints over to give it colors. - To avoid paint pooling like at 21:54 (i'm cherrypicking), try and do multiple thin coats and let them dry between each, even if it starts by looking bad bc the paint is see through. - To make details easier, there are some very very fine brushes that could help. - Making the prints hollow could allow you to try electronics/LEDs, it sounds complicated at first but it's not, and Wylock's Armory made a really good vid on it called "The Comprehensive Newbie Guide to LEDs in Miniatures Terrain". - I encourage you to print and paint some figurines, especially if you like some characters it's so cool to see them like that ! And there's plenty of website like Thingiverse, Cults3D, myminifactory, yeggi etc that offer free stls Anyways (sorry for the enormous text), IT'S SO COOOOOL !! I just discovered your channel and I'm just gonna watch every project xD
18:30 it's actually possible to use prusaslicer to separate the parts into a more easily sliceable print by using the "cut" feature and setting it to dovetail and then simply exporting the parts as STL's Hopefully this helps for future problems
Nice work! By the way, to reduce the mess, you can usually fit the resin build plate into the wash bucket upside down, then run the wash! Then you don't have to pry a goopy resin covered build off the plate :)
And you can leave all those supports on during the cleaning process too! Just print, place the whole thing in the wash bucket with lots of IPA, then run the cycle. The metal basket for the wash bucket should have a couple places to rest the build platform on
I found your Grumbot video by chance yesterday after watching a Hermitcraft video. So I sub'ed and liked and set to putting this video and others on my 'to watch' list. I just love how you brought to life Gem's castle. It looks great. Love what you're doing. Still have to do a bit of catching up on your Minecraft and Medieval videos. Can't wait to see how you did that leather armour. Loving ya style Jess. You have that funny pleasant personality that is so adorable. You remind me of Gem and Pearl mixed together.

Don't worry, Scarland fired all the lawyers so we had more money for Churros lol The castle looks fantastic and what a wonderful video :D
good, we need the churros.
Churros are always more important than lawyers. Good budget management scar!
HA! Now that sounds like a good business model right there. I'm so glad you liked the 3D print and the video!! It means a lot coming from you :)
Of course! We couldn’t possibly have lawyers instead of churros!
do not fear, hotguy is here!
“Since it’s in the back…”
Ah yes, the true spirit of Hermitcraft is captured in this build.
Exactly my thoughts!
Grian: "I raised that girl."
@discochaotica "look at what you've done to my girl"
the fact that the Scarland castle was just a side quest kinda blows my mind
Not all the Etho heads 😭😭 I love that she scattered them all around her base, it made for a nice easter egg, but also nooo Ethooo 😂
She could've used commands to replace the head block with sand or air blocks.
The resin is not just toxic to touch but toxic to breathe. Resin printers contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in higher concentrations than FDM printers. VOCs are gases that can evaporate or leach out during the printing and post-processing stages. In large doses or after prolonged exposure, VOCs can be a potential health hazard. Please do your printing in a well ventilated area!

I'm not trying to backseat, "oh, hurrr durrr, redo the whole thing", just friendly advice for next time!
a bit more on this: the method I mentioned basically welds the two printed segments together, but it sands really well, so it's easier to reshape and sculpt than cured resin, which is relatively soft. Also, it produces a bit of heat, so it's better to use this technique sparingly.
This is just an idea but, how about making the whole server as a miniature map irl. Like the miniatures you are doing but all put together to make a map possibly for DnD?
Can we just take a minute to appreciate while she was getting the scarland castle set up, she had the timelapse music on in the background! Love the video so much!!
big thing about open interior resin prints. make sure you have drain holes. if you don't the pressure inside the build will build up and eventually it'll pop open itself usually leaking resin over the place
it can either take a really long time or a really short time but regardless without drain holes its like having a resin ticking time bomb on your shelf
I got to the point where you realized that right after I commented lol
What an awesome project! Thanks for showing the whole process including the struggles, the test projects, and the whole workflow involved! Really made the final result that much more satisfying. I need to try something similar one of these days!
This looks amazing!! Also my vote for the next one is the 5am Pearl tower (with a mini Tilly and Pearlo to go with it)
first of all, amazing video, second of all, thx so much for explaining the process and struggles you went through, some day I wanna print a minecraft base too and being told all the programs and magic buttons will probably make the struggle quite a bit more bearable if I ever try this.
1. Thank you for putting your hard-won problem solving process in the video for anyone who wants to try something similar!
2. This was amazing, the model looks great, and I’m subscribing. ❤
I love that you used Howling as Background Music for thw Scarland print! The Result of the Prints is so awesome, I love them!
lol love that u used Scars Timelapse music while making the Scarland castle
Hey I know you said you just discovered that miniature painting as a hobby existed but I’d definitely look into getting the proper respirator and filters for that airbrush! If you plan on using it long term the paints you use might give you lung complications if you don’t handle them properly with all the spraying. Great video and nice work though 👍👍👍
same for the resin printer
@@sonicdart3896 especially ANY liquid resin. That stuff will definitely give you more types of cancer than you can count.
1:58 unlike grians unfinished back
12:15 proud to say I didn't get bored at all in this video! its very well thought out and I loved it even though the topic only started halfway through!
WOW!!! Not only is the model extremely well made, but the way you shot the video and edited it was so cool too! I loved seeing the process. Great work!!!
A good tip that I do is to head up a little bit the build plate using a hair dryer and also is good to use a scraper that comes with the printer, just blow some hot air in the direction of the part of the print that is touching the build plate than use the scraper slowly pushing the scraper underneath the printed object.
I love how used the music from scar's super fast build mode
this is so cool!!! absolutely loved gems build and it looks so cute as a minifig! also i loved the way you explained the whole process of learning how to 3D print!
Loved the use of the Superfast Build Mode music during the Scarland Castle segment 😅
This really put into perspective how 3d printimg isnt just "click the button and let the machine do all the work". The final produck looks amazing
Chitubox actually tells you an estimation of how much resin the print will use. There are fill lines in the resin vat that you can use to get the right amount in the tray.
ah the joys of 3d printing. that came out incredible! ive never considered 3d printing anything from minecraft before. i can see why. props to you on sticking with it and being patient enough. i probably wouldve gave up after a day lol
not only is the build absolutely gorgeous and a masterpiece, your video composition and engagement is incredible, i was fully emersed in the video the entire time, and it was very enjoyable to watch!! and your perseverance to learn and complete the project is astounding!! you've earned a subscriber from me :]
that's amazing! and i'm so happy for you that gem saw it! you deserve it to be noticed!

Looking awesome! Props! Deserves to be more known. Got my subscribe.
this whole process was absolutely amazing, it looks so good!!
You did so good! Definitely subbing!!
This looks amazing as always! I'm glad you were able to perservere through the challenges you faced to bring forth this beautiful final product!
This is epic also love the super fast build mode at the Scarland part!
my gosh this is incredible!!
how much i wish i could have my own print(s) of my favourite hermitcraft builds
watching gem's elven palace bloom through season nine was wonderful, absolutely one of, if not, my favourite of builds 💚
This is so amazing! ❤️
Incredible work! Your perseverance through all the technical difficulties was so impressive. The final product looks lovely!
JESS? WHAT? EXCUSE ME?
THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTY!!! THE DETAIL IS SO AMAZING!! I can't wait to see what you make next!!
OMG! You are so insanely talented! I’m in an awe!
*TRUST THE PROCESS!!!*
Seriously though, I'm one of the peeps who met you through the Minecraft video, and realizing you made crafts on your channel I was amazed! As an artist myself (the drawing kind, i guess) it was so inspiring to see someone relate art to building.
And THEN you go off and make my FAVORITE hermit's base!?!? Gem is my HERO, so seeing you make her incredible base is just AWESOME! Just the push I needed to subscribe
hope she sees it! amazing work as always
OH MY GOSH ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! I love seeing the full process, it makes me a lot more confident in my own crafting process. Love all of your videos so much, you are a huge inspiration of mine.
ah yes, BLENDER. my favorite 3D tool that I have no regrets learning
This video was actually way more helpful and understanding how to 3-D print something, then taking a day and watching like a billion tutorial videos
i have been dying for someone to create a mini version of the hermits bases or minis in general so this makes my day. i love it and i also hope that your next challenge will go by nicely.
I love the use of all the hermits building montage music, makes me smile :D Looks awesome too!
15:10 The shade being thrown at Mumbo 😂😂😂
that's so fun! the look really does come out as minecrafty
I've owned a Mars 2 pro for a few years now and it's so nice to have! It's compact, decent build size, and once set up, very reliable. Haven't had a failed print once after I got the test prints working
OMG!!! well done! I'm a big fan of Gem, she's the best. Thanks for showing your beautiful model!!
Holy hell this was incredible!! I really enjoyed this video and the editing was smashing! Great job!
AMAZING JOB JESS!!!! It came out so well!
every time i finish one of your videos i just feel so inspired. like, i wanna make a mini megabase!!! you just have all these cool ideas that i could've never thought up in a million years. a river made of hot glue?? thats so smart!!! keep making these awesome videos
1st time watching you, and 12 min in when u talked about the main idea of the video not even started yet made me realize that u make it interesting. Subbed
This is absolutly incredible
This looks amazing. And I love that your process was conveyed very much relatable. Great vid!
That was absolutely amazing to watch, GG on the effort you put into that. I honestly had a chuckle at the dirt part, I was like be like Gem and trust the process just two seconds before you said it yourself. For a first time watcher, honestly was brilliant. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Your half up half down hair at 12 min is gorgeous!
Oh well, I wish I found your video 2 weeks ago... I searched for exactly that for a while xD
Some advices on printing though (You may know these things but maybe not so it's always better to say too much xD) :
- Hollow your models in Chitubox (once they're fully solid) with the button "hollow" on the top, it will basically make a shell from your model and save you a ton of resin. You have to make holes with the "dig hole" button to make it works (so there's no resin pool inside). It's hard to explain but I found a lot of tutorial when starting, should be easy to find :)
- Print it at an angle to avoid the print sticking too much on the plate ,or on the FEP (the plastic film on the bottom), because the suction could cause it to deform or worse, puncture.
- I find removing the supports easier after washing with alcohol+ a small bath in hot water, and before curing.
And on the painting (bc I'm one of this "painting way too small figs" nerds) :
- The dark to light approach is the easiest, very good call ! You could try a middle basecoat and then highlights and washes too, but washes make things less clean and more grim. You could also try the "slapchop" or "grisaille" approach, wich is using a black to wight gradient and then putting some very thin uniform paints over to give it colors.
- To avoid paint pooling like at 21:54 (i'm cherrypicking), try and do multiple thin coats and let them dry between each, even if it starts by looking bad bc the paint is see through.
- To make details easier, there are some very very fine brushes that could help.
- Making the prints hollow could allow you to try electronics/LEDs, it sounds complicated at first but it's not, and Wylock's Armory made a really good vid on it called "The Comprehensive Newbie Guide to LEDs in Miniatures Terrain".
- I encourage you to print and paint some figurines, especially if you like some characters it's so cool to see them like that ! And there's plenty of website like Thingiverse, Cults3D, myminifactory, yeggi etc that offer free stls
Anyways (sorry for the enormous text), IT'S SO COOOOOL !! I just discovered your channel and I'm just gonna watch every project xD
18:30 it's actually possible to use prusaslicer to separate the parts into a more easily sliceable print by using the "cut" feature and setting it to dovetail and then simply exporting the parts as STL's Hopefully this helps for future problems
What a cool project! My retention was certainly held through to the end, subscribed! :D
This is amazing! So beautiful, so well result in the end! Congrats!
This miniature is amazingly detailed!!
Nice work! By the way, to reduce the mess, you can usually fit the resin build plate into the wash bucket upside down, then run the wash! Then you don't have to pry a goopy resin covered build off the plate :)
And you can leave all those supports on during the cleaning process too! Just print, place the whole thing in the wash bucket with lots of IPA, then run the cycle. The metal basket for the wash bucket should have a couple places to rest the build platform on
I found your Grumbot video by chance yesterday after watching a Hermitcraft video.
So I sub'ed and liked and set to putting this video and others on my 'to watch' list.
I just love how you brought to life Gem's castle. It looks great.
Love what you're doing. Still have to do a bit of catching up on your Minecraft and Medieval videos.
Can't wait to see how you did that leather armour.
Loving ya style Jess. You have that funny pleasant personality that is so adorable. You remind me of Gem and Pearl mixed together.
