Hey good people, thanks for dropping in - in this video I walk you through a quick digital kitbash of this Heavy Vault Mech from Geargutz as I alter and fit an alternate head, and hopefully demonstrate that bashing bits digitally is as easy or as difficult as you want it to be! The hill of skill required to climb here is not very high at all, so don't be afraid to try - it can be seriously rewarding stuff.

You can merge the combined STLs which makes them one. Then you can hollow to your hearts content!

That's awesome, I didn't know that's what that button was for! Thanks :D

I'm struggling to keep up with the explanations in the video but I am really liking the sound of kitbashing. I'll watch it again and try to follow the steps. I want to learn Blender too, but this sounds like an easier way to dip my toe in the water.

Nice tutorial and the results certainly look great; thanks for sharing. Any time you want to share printing knowledge, I’ll be watching! (and I love OPR gaming too)

@OnceinaSixSide 2 года назад

That's awesome, thanks! OPR games have definitely been such a huge boon for casual gamers. I should do some videos on that too, see if I can't help persuade more people to try. Definitely got some more 3D printed stuff in the works coming soon :)

@piotrandzel5864 2 года назад

7:14, If you want to print bashed models hollow, you can use blender's remesh modifier to turn them into one mesh. It's honestly really easy, I cant do anything in blender and I was able to figure it out in less than 5 minutes.

@OnceinaSixSide 2 года назад

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. Another user commented here as well that you can also use the Merge feature in 3D Builder for the same thing.

@metalmanexetreme 2 года назад

thank you my man, watched a different video on how to kitbash and that made it a significantly more drawn out process (with 3 different programs) this has boosted my confidence significantly. when i get the funds i'll definitely pick up your creation (though I mainly 3d print for Fantasy games, my brother is into wargaming and would likely be thoroughly thrilled by it)

@OnceinaSixSide 2 года назад

Hey that's great! Glad to hear the video is helping people out. Yeah you can definitely dive a hell of a lot deeper with programs like Blender but honestly just getting started in 3D Builder is the way and likely for many people as far as they'll ever need to take it. Thanks for your support :)

New subscriber, have started absorbing every video on your channel. I began tinkering with digital kitbashing even before I finally got a digital printer (so recently that I haven’t set it up yet), and for sure I don’t know what I don’t know about combining bits. Looking forward to learning from this and all the other videos.

@NoobixCube Год назад

For us Mac and Linux users, everything you demonstrated there I guess we could do in Tinkercad. It's not the most powerful tool in the world, but if you've never made so much as a cube, you can still use Tinkercad. Except I don't think it has a planar split/cut tool, so for that you jump through the small hoop of making two copies of an object and using a cube to cut it twice.

@OnceinaSixSide Год назад

There's also Lychee slicer now too which recently added a planar slice tool!

@NoobixCube Год назад

@@OnceinaSixSide Oh cool. I use Lychee and I haven't paid any attention to the new features they've added. I mainly switched to Lychee because the community resin and printer profiles, while they overexpose a little, are reliable. That, and when a model isn't presupported, Lychee's auto supports do a good enough job when I make them dense but light. I've only used auto-supports for Battletech miniatures, but the only failures I've had were temperature related as I printed overnight. I still _check_ Lychee's work and sometimes add one or two more supports, but generally, they're good enough.

If you load it back into 3dbuilder and use the merge option then you can print kitbashed bits hollow

@volljoseph 2 года назад

This. You can also select models and choose to "Ungroup" them. Sometimes the program will detect arms, legs, heads, weapons as separate pieces for you right out of the gate.

Thanks for the warning on the printing solid. I was just kitbashing some minis

@OnceinaSixSide 2 года назад

Happy to hear you got some value out of it! I learned from one of the other commenters that there's a Merge function in the Edit tab of 3D builder that actually deals with the overlapping geometry, so if you want to hollow something you've kitbashed group your models then merge them and it should be okay - just be sure to double check in your slicer that everything is fine.

@missjayspeechley9213 Год назад

Thank you for this knowledge. Thanks to you I did some digital kitbash mashup Battlemechs. The Skaro Urbanmech urbie/Dalek hybrid, and the Cyberatlas a Cyberman Atlas. They can be found on Thingiverse

@nasigoring1525 Год назад

Great video. I wish I saw this about 4 weeks ago... because I did a couple of parts in blender and now I have parts with tons of internal geometry and outside walls .1mm thick. Is there an easy way to take those hollow models and make them solid or am I better off just doing them again in 3D builder?

@grimoirworkshop6623 Год назад

Check needed but I suppose 2d hollowing in lychee can handle it as it works with bitmap of each layer and not with a 3d model

@SNDKNG Год назад

Hey man, thanks for putting this out there. Do you have a workflow recommendation? I'm playing around a lot but after a few nasty failures I want to get more serious about validating files/checking islands/making fixes, but there's just so many pieces of software and I'm not sure how to go from one to another.

@OnceinaSixSide Год назад

UV Tools and your slicer of choice is all you need :) Basically slice a file, then load that file into UV Tools and click on the Issues button and it'll draw up a list of all the problems it finds and tell you what layer number they occur on.

@SNDKNG Год назад

@@OnceinaSixSide Thanks! What's the deal with UVTools, do I really have to install it with choco off of github?

@@SNDKNG No there should be a regular old executable on there to download that will install it like any other piece of software.

@TheStonehammerFiles 2 года назад

boolean in blender would make the need to print solid unnecessary as it would make the new mesh truly one piece.

Get either needs to embrace this change or accept they no longer have a monopoly on anything but the rules and kits they do sell. There is so much they could do but don't it's their fault at this point if they start losing money on kit sales.

@tomstone2080 Год назад

When you use 1 model to delete part of another model is there a way of adding a tolerance in to take account of prices not coming out perfect ?

@tomstone2080 Год назад

And a video on how to put magnets in to models would be great

@OnceinaSixSide Год назад

Yep! Just scale up the cutting model slightly before subtracting it from the target model and that will give you some wiggle room.

@@OnceinaSixSide thanks - Been printing a lot of loot stuff and finding whoever did their supports in the welcome pack (Fantasy) was click happy - nearly impossible to get off cleanly - models breaking - lots of supports merged into one another forming a solid tower and far too many supports on bases etc
