Would love to see you guys to a series on 3D printing not just how to get started but like a full guide for beginners or beginners to intermediate I would love to start doing this but not really knowing anything about printers or brands I don't know if I'm paying for the brand or if I'm paying for a good printer and on top of that I don't know if I should go with filament or resin and I don't really know the difference and it would just be really cool to see a guy to help instead of just like a review this printer against this printer I would love to start doing this before I become fully blind I'm really close to being there and in the state that I'm in it's a lot harder to fight for disability so I want to be able to do something even with my bad eyesight so that I can make some money so I'm not a burden on my significant other but I just don't know where to start between wanting to 3D print and make dice because since I'm a nerd it just seems like fun things to do while also being able to make a part-time job out of it
For jobs like the jets I'd recommend whacking a subdivision modifier on them to round them out a bit if you want to avoid the visible tris in the finished model, doesn't really matter and the finished piece looks cool but it's a handy quick fix for rounded, organic shapes. Just be careful to save before doing it and don't whack it up too high or it can crash.
Dave has gone above and beyond with this one, dude. The amount of growth and development that he's shown in 3D modeling in its basic forms as well as getting incredibly creative with it is so inspiring!! It's gotta feel SO good when you can't freaking tell the difference between parts that came in the box and the parts that are homemade! Genuinely brilliant. I'm honestly proud of how far its come so quickly and I can't freaking WAIT to see more of things like this! Any Dave indulgences on the channel always work out so well because the dude just has so much love! I hope you'll forgive my gush, but this was so SO well done, I had to share! Also, nice shirt at 16:00! : D
For those looking for guides on 3D modelling specifically for 3D printing, I highly recommend Artisans of Vaul youtube channel. A lot of 3D modelling tutorial stuff you'll find on youtube is specifically for either animation or 'game ready assets' a lot of which is vastly more detailed than it needs to be if you're just 3D printing for 32mm models. As you can see here, Ngons (shapes with more than 4 sides) are a big no-no in 3D modelling for video games because most engines break it down into Quads and you can end up with funky issues, none of which matters too much for 3D printing so having a Subdivision workflow isn't a 'must have'. Also if you're doing hard surface modelling and are planning to use it *a lot* I highly recommend the addons of Hardops/Boxcutter and Meshmachine. Cablerator can also be very handy as well.
This army is so pretty, yet so badass. Really admire the work and imagination that's gone into this idea and can't wait to see what else you'll come up with.
I gotta say i love how this model turned out it looks amazing! The only gripe i have with it is actually from the crisis suit model itself, i always find their legs to look a but derpy, like the lower half of the legs feel shorter than the rest of the leg and make it feel out of place and like it’ll topple over if it didnt have the thrusters
This turned out to be a very awesome project! It might be a little more samurai than I would want with Tau, but I totally get it, and the spots where you just made your own parts, from scratch, with a ton of math, measuring, and the 3D software, turned out great! I wasn't sure about the paint scheme; at first, the gray sort of looked like it just got back to unpainted resin, with some pink dots, but I have to say I lost that opinion by the end, and I like that it doesn't just look like every other Battlesuit I have seen. The thrust clouds were also a nice, dynamic addition. I liked the cool use of clear resin, and wonder how well it could work toward making one of those "cloaking" paint scheme Shadowsuns, or her Stealth Suit bodyguards? All in all, a very nice project, demonstrating a menagerie of skills I wish I could hone. Very cool, and thank you for sharing!
I only recently found your channel. But that hat design with the samurai armour layout of the battlesuit is a touch of utter genious. Next I'd love you to do a little Red Alert 3 gimmick and make pulse-bows for a possible broadside battlesuit. I think that would be wild.
I personally paint my T’au to be clone troopers from Star Wars, even made a few custom figures like three that are for Comms and one that uses a weapon from a crisis suit as a standing mini gun, even added a jet pack to one of my and used the frame of a drone that I shortened him jumping into flying with mud splatter aswell
Wow! Well done! Keep them coming! These are truly works of art. Whenever I hear the term crisis suit I always wonder, what do their pleasant day out with the family suit look like, or their bored at work suit? Ok, kidding, I hope you are having great fun at Pax and can’t wait to hear all about it.
Any chance I can get a look at those STLs lol happy to pay for them just starting my own samurai tau and found your vid great work mate and as good luck for all future endeavours another fellow Aussie. 🇦🇺
Tau player here. Probably the best original idea for a customized crisis suit I've seen. I'm honestly not a fan of the Tau = Japan thing. But your Sakura take on it really works in a way that most people's execution of this idea does not.
Video 18 of commenting for Tabletop Time to make a Space Bear version of the Thunderwolf cavalry or Wolf lord on a Thunderwolf. But instead of Thunderwolves they would be Thunderbears and would use the Thunderwolf stats
That looks amazing! I always love these conversions and it's what got me interested in the channel in the first place. I would love to see more of these
Brilliant video as always. Really enjoying watching this process for the various Tau units. Its really cool to see how far you can push the models, my favourite parts are you experimenting with ideas! I wonder whats next - Ethereal Shogun or maybe something for a Hammerhead? Or even doing a Stormsurge in the style of a Japanese castle? I'm looking forward to it anyway!
This is incredible!! Fantastic sculpting on the weapons and armour, really ties in well to the existing models. I have to admit i hate the smoke plooms though (the jet streams themselves are cool, but the smoke takes away from everything else imo).
Magnatize the weapons. That way you don't need to decide and aren't "stuck" with something from last meta. If you are modleing them you can just leave a 3mmx2mm hole for a round magnet, and sink 1-2 into each arm and shoulder slot to hold them.
Amazing finished product, that's such a great looking suit. I'd say with that much customization he'd have to be a named character, unless you're going to do a whole set like that, which actually would be very cool. I started collecting Tau with the release of the Battleforce box a couple years ago, and these customizations make me want to rebuild and rebase my whole army lol. Also i'm pretty sure that box was discontinued just before the Combat Patrol was released at the beginning of this year. I tried to get that start collecting box and couldn't find it anywhere a few months ago.
I think I will make a slightly more low-key version of the helmet, but otherwise these would be standard bits for all Sakura Crisis suits. This one is just a Shas-Vre
Amazing build, amazing model, it's really astonishing what people can do today with 3D printers. If I may just leave one piece of critic, though the shape of the engine blasts is great I do think you should revisit the paint scheme, to me when looking at it, they don't give the impression of being incredibly hot energy jets at all. They look more like some expanding airbag or some gas exhaust. I think if you added some brighter and sharper colours you could get the point across much better!
This was seriously cool man! Great job! I think the flower design should become the sept symbol instead of the helmet honestly, it’s much more in line with the other canon Tau symbols I think. But still, awesome work Dave!
Amazing work well done Dave looking forward to the next tau model you make. Ps have you make a video of you using them in a game against the other table top time crew?
So I had the craziest dream about Warhammer. The Tau somehow found an Old One, and by a miraculous means, convinced them to remake the Krorks, except this time they were given empathy and reason. Suddenly, the Tau were starting to win the war due to the fact they had their own giant Waaaagh! on their side. It basically ended with the Tau and Krorks defeating the Imperium, exterminating the Tyranids, butchering the Orks, and making peace with the Eldar. Suddenly the Krorks went into the Eye of Terror, vowing to forever hold off Chaos while the Tau rehabilitated humanity, with reformed humans hunting down Necrons and Dark Eldar. It was the wildest and greatest 40k dream I ever had.
I noticed you added on bits as you went on. Whenever I glue on bits after I’ve painted, I get some sort of white film around where the glue was. What glue do you use? Or if it’s not the glue, is there some technique to prevent this white film on the paint? Also, very cool model. It looks badass and the blender-made stuff looks very well made.
What you're talking about is called frosting and happens with some types of super glue (especially the cheap and thin ones) You can sometimes fix it with varnish but that doesn't always work A way of preventing it happening could be just adding less glue and switching to a thicker kind of super glue
@TabletopTime I collected Tau when I was a kid and since recently coming back to the hobby as a whole, I've been weighing up if that's an army I want to go back to as an adult. If the STL's are available at some point, I will definitely start collecting them again! Amazing work, I love your content! 🤘😎
Noice. If I may offer a small critique, I think the plumes are a little too soft. Other than that this is one kicking model. I gotta get off my butt and get to sculpting and painting some minis of my own.
I was hoping there would be more mechs soon. Maybe some day you can make another Gundam video as well. Make your own original Gundam. That would be cool!

Someone is impersonating your channel !!!
I have reported them. You might want to look into it or at least put something on the community tab.
That’s a great idea!
For jobs like the jets I'd recommend whacking a subdivision modifier on them to round them out a bit if you want to avoid the visible tris in the finished model, doesn't really matter and the finished piece looks cool but it's a handy quick fix for rounded, organic shapes. Just be careful to save before doing it and don't whack it up too high or it can crash.
You can also do antialiasing with slicers like lychee slicer.
I LOVE how that looks! The amount of work you put into it really shows, all the custom parts look amazing and the paint job is super cool!
Thankyou for your kind words
I cannot imagine how awesome this army is going to look when completed and we get the complete spread shot, outstanding work!
I LOVE seeing these Tau videos.They have always been my favorite army to see since I was a kid
@UCDp7SObgQiYnCd-JgdqG5TA I didn’t fall for this and no one else should either
If I ever get into warhammer, I want to make these as my first army or kill team. I absolutely love these designs. Great job!

Also, nice shirt at 16:00! : D
Very convincing thruster sound!
Those 3D modelling skills are coming in really handy.
Love the result
This is astounding! I love how you were able to use the sakura flower and incorporate it into the gun very cool!
So you did a base coat of cold grey then did a zeni of cold grey to lighten it up?! 7:39

With artists like you, the potential is limitless
Great work Dave, can't wait to see your take on vehicle's and bigger mechs.
THE TAU ARE BACK!!! I'm so excited to see more of these!
Battle suit came out fantastic. It's amazing how much it's a little prep work can help especially with taking all those measurements.
Wow. Dave really has showcased his prowess with MSI. You can really make your models unique. Really impressive work.
I know nothing about Warhammer, but god I would love to have that mini on my shelf!
Please do a ghostkeel. It's the best tau model and with your amazing talent and eye for detail you'd blow away any other conversions by miles.
This army is so pretty, yet so badass. Really admire the work and imagination that's gone into this idea and can't wait to see what else you'll come up with.
Looks AMAZING! Also, great 3D modelling skills!!

Next I'd love you to do a little Red Alert 3 gimmick and make pulse-bows for a possible broadside battlesuit.
I think that would be wild.
Amazingly done! You did an excellent job on your printed elements!
Thank you. I've been avoiding working on my own modeling. This video helps inspire me to work on them.
Why do I find this little battle suit Tau so adorable?!?!
It's a little flower of destruction!
I LOVE IT❤
I personally paint my T’au to be clone troopers from Star Wars, even made a few custom figures like three that are for Comms and one that uses a weapon from a crisis suit as a standing mini gun, even added a jet pack to one of my and used the frame of a drone that I shortened him jumping into flying with mud splatter aswell

Sheesh, that turned out really well. Now I really wanna see what you do with the other suits.
Any chance I can get a look at those STLs lol happy to pay for them just starting my own samurai tau and found your vid great work mate and as good luck for all future endeavours another fellow Aussie. 🇦🇺
Really nice touches
The custom sculpting is super awesome!
You really did an outstanding job on this. The customizations are amazing. I'd love to see more of the Tau Sakura.
Looks great! Blender and 3D Printing feel like a real game changer for awesome conversions
Wow! Those are amazing! Now do a T'au'Nar Supremacy Armor next!

The clouds look great. Enjoy the long weekend.
This is so badass dude amazing work!
Realy realy awesome. Love your costume model episodes!
Really cool "effects" you made for this model!
Fun video! I really like the Dave Does Deep Warhammer vids. Keep ‘em coming!
that turned out awesome, nice man.
That looks amazing! I always love these conversions and it's what got me interested in the channel in the first place. I would love to see more of these

I wonder whats next - Ethereal Shogun or maybe something for a Hammerhead? Or even doing a Stormsurge in the style of a Japanese castle? I'm looking forward to it anyway!
That looks amazing! I want to try something similar when I start playing Eternal Dynasty for OPR! I can't stop looking at it!!
Great job, looks incredible and a brilliant theme for the army. Amazing work.
hello there
Hello there
Hallo der
General Kenobi!
Hello there
Hello there
impressive. your blendet skills have developed so much.
What’s this? My favorite mini channel making my favorite unit?! Yes please!!!
Dude. This is amazing!!! Holy hell I love it so much!!!
This is incredible!! Fantastic sculpting on the weapons and armour, really ties in well to the existing models. I have to admit i hate the smoke plooms though (the jet streams themselves are cool, but the smoke takes away from everything else imo).
I'm very jealous, this is really amazing! Well done! 👌

I think I will make a slightly more low-key version of the helmet, but otherwise these would be standard bits for all Sakura Crisis suits. This one is just a Shas-Vre
Damn I want more of this that’s dope
can we get the 3d models to print these?
This is sick, i love it. I have much respect for your 3D sculpts.
Amazing build, amazing model, it's really astonishing what people can do today with 3D printers. If I may just leave one piece of critic, though the shape of the engine blasts is great I do think you should revisit the paint scheme, to me when looking at it, they don't give the impression of being incredibly hot energy jets at all. They look more like some expanding airbag or some gas exhaust. I think if you added some brighter and sharper colours you could get the point across much better!
those are some awesome bits, really cool to see how fast you are learning to model!
This was seriously cool man! Great job! I think the flower design should become the sept symbol instead of the helmet honestly, it’s much more in line with the other canon Tau symbols I think. But still, awesome work Dave!
The helmet is just a fun design, I like this as the sept symbol as well!
Epic work... If someone was to say this is a standard Tau weapon with attached blade. Id believe them.
That's sick! Well done Dave!
Amazing. But can we see more of the Tyranids? Would love to see more of the bugs that have gotten me into Warhammer.
it looks like it was inteded to look this way! in other words this looks amazing.
It looks great, but I think the armor plates should be stacked the other way around (top plate over the bottom plate instead of under it).
Can you make a Ghostkeel next?
Can't wait to see a Sakura Stormsurge or Tau'anar Supremacy build.
Would love to buy those Tau bits at some point, they look great
Epic! he looks sick, i love the jets.
Amazing work well done Dave looking forward to the next tau model you make.
Ps have you make a video of you using them in a game against the other table top time crew?
Bro, you make me want to get a tau army. Stellar job
Damn, those custom weapons are amazing!
Loved focus mode😂😂
Wonderful, you did a great job!
Damn, I don't even have the bell rung and I keep accidentally stumbling into your videos super early
Man I wish I had those helmet files they are perfect
Amazing! Would love to see this face off against the Space Bear Dreadnought!
Looks amazing! 🤩

@@OG_miniaturepainting ah, ok. Yea, I use a really cheap glue. At least I know what causes it now, thank you.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you incorporate stealth suits into this design philosophy.
Are the STL's going to be available for print like the Space Bear ones?
We can make it so if it is desired!!
@TabletopTime I collected Tau when I was a kid and since recently coming back to the hobby as a whole, I've been weighing up if that's an army I want to go back to as an adult. If the STL's are available at some point, I will definitely start collecting them again! Amazing work, I love your content! 🤘😎
Any chance of you releasing the .stls of these? Would absolutely love to try my hand at painting these up
That looks sick 😎😎
¡Gran trabajo!, sumamente buen trabajo :D
We need a life size tao armor .!!!!! Just like the space bear claw and chest pieces
Noice. If I may offer a small critique, I think the plumes are a little too soft. Other than that this is one kicking model. I gotta get off my butt and get to sculpting and painting some minis of my own.
Would love to see your take on kroot in this sept!
thats rad
Incredible!
awesome work broham
What was the music for the glamour shot? Sounds familiar
I was hoping there would be more mechs soon. Maybe some day you can make another Gundam video as well. Make your own original Gundam. That would be cool!
phenomenal and outstanding
you could taen look at Tau commander kit, it had all the weapons
so damn cool but woulda been even cooler if u had done some type of damascus steel on the katana u could absolutely pull it off
If anything, that blossom helmet crest is officially the sept icon to me
