I've been using this on my 3d prints for a few years now but you should add baby powder to it, it makes the resin stay in place better and not want to run off the sides as much as normal 3d resin. the mix of baby power can vary but is usually 2 parts resin to 1 part baby powder, but add more as needed. This will smooth out the layer lines faster, giving you a smoother surface in less coats. Also I do the full helmet in one shot, not small shots, with the baby powder added it won't run as much and pool up in areas, and make sure you clean out any areas that you dont want resin on like groves or detail before curing. And after each coat move your bottle of resin away from the UV light to a uv protected area like under a yellow hood of a resin curing station or similar to protect against unwanted curing of the cap and bottle of resin as you apply it. And lastly "before sanding" if you can put the coated part outside or under the uv lamp for about 5 to 10 min or so to cure the small amount of resin that hasnt cured yet on the part, it assures full resin curing incase you missed a spot.
So awesome. I just printed out the Witch-King mask/crown from Lord of the Rings and was wondering how best to make it look like metal. Will totally try this out. Thanks!
It would basically be the same steps, but would be a pickaxe head in place of the axe head. If you wanted it to be a bit more rigid you could use coat hanger wire to make the picks less wobbly.
Great build as usual!!! Thanks so much for the shout out!!! Im embarrassed to say out of all the things I've used the draw slide for doing a pop up never occurred to me! Great idea!!
As usual, your tutorials are so very creative and practical. I had not considered a drawer slide for a vertical or horizontal movement mechanism. Always a pleasure seeing your new ideas on RU-vid.
Because I'm in California we don't really have to worry about weather, but generally speaking the acrylic paints used provide a degree of weather resistance.
@@markweir2343 yes. The Ghoul Friends pop up fast and then slowly retract. Take a look at videos of those in the Mansion. Sadly, I can’t post photos of my builds here and am not interested in video production.
I don't recall, but my best guess would be 1/2". Worst case scenario, buy slightly longer screws than you need and trim off the excess with a hack saw or a rotary tool with a cut off wheel.
I know in this video you've touted the Ustellar led flood lights. I'm on the fence between the Ustellar or the Govee flood lights. The Govee lights are about the same price point. Ustellar are 100w vs. Govee 36w. Govee independantly plug in vs. all 6 connected. I currently have some govee products, however the interface between them and Alexa or Wifi for that matter, seem less desirable. Any feed back will will be welcomed.
Amazing! Thank you for the step by step instructions- I may skip some technical steps but your tutorial gave me a few ideas on creating the tombstones. Great Job.
