Great video really interesting What excites me is the idea of archiving mintures. I think thiers been so many minatires made that are now out of print with no way of viewing or accessing them. Being able to keep historical records and archive them for others to use is a really exciting idea especially with 3D printers become very affordable.
Especially with stuff made before pewter became industry standard. A lot of lead models have been lost to time due to lead rot because people at the time didn't know how to properly clean and prime their models. A lot of stuff from the 1940s and 50s is gone forever because they'd just paint them with enamel paints onto bare metal with no primer or cleaning then seal them with varnish. This caused rust to build up beneath the paint and over the decades the mini would be ruined.
Wish some one would take up the mandle and get the rights to scan old minis to sell prints and stls. One could even pay the original creator royalties for every mini or file sold.
I want to scan and print the oldschool minis, mostly because I want to print them in the same scale as more modern miniatures. I love the old sculpts, but the scale is too small to use them with modern scale fantasy miniatures
@@Joel-ym3ij same here. Wanted an old school space marine kill team in true scale for a long time, but old minis are just so small, some ig minis are taller.
Looks really cool! If you computer takes that long to boot up there's a good chance you need to reinstall the operating system. Surprisingly the newer versions of Windows work pretty well on older computers as long as you have enough hard drive space and Linux of course runs on almost anything. But if your computer is so old it doesn't even have an onboard wireless card it's probably time for an upgrade. You'd be amazed how much faster newer computers are, but like you I try to get the most out of my machines before upgrading. Computers are far too expensive to upgrade often even when you build them yourself from parts like I do.
No, we do not keep any of the files for longer than 7 days, so that you can download the results. Any rights of the raw data as well as the results stay with you.
Awesome, something maybe affordable! Anyways, this week is called: "Kraken" week, by "Pointy Hat", and I've got an idea for an Orc/Ork car that is based on a squid on top of 2 tank tracks for a 1 shot. Now what will you do? 😅
| 3-D scan Warhammer models | Create molds of those scans | Pour sprue goo into the molds | Have new Warhammer models using GW plastic Problem, James Workshop?
Hello nice video ,im into cleaning and resculp scans of old minis and the share for free ,I want to buy it one myself can tell me the plastic is abs or pla ,know some people that told me some pieces can bend whit the heat and i Know the abs filament part are a good solution to that problem
If you put resin in boiling water for a few seconds, you can bend and warp it a little bit. By repeatedly putting the piece in boiling water, bending it just a little, putting it in cold water, then back into boiling to bend it again, you can get resin to go from being straight to curved and vice versa. You can't do this with filament printer pieces because in order to get the plastic to bend, you'd have to heat it up to the point where it just melts. It won't hold detail when you go to bend it and will act more like wax. I hope this answers your question!
@@nekrataali bro im talking about the printing parts of the scaner himself XD,i know the rotor part heat up and bend some pieces because i know people that it happen before just want to know the mats ,aniway i ask on the page
It's pretty cheap for a 3D scanner. Most decent ones start around $700. Everything in the $400 range or under can only scan large objects with flat surfaces, which isn't helpful to miniature painters. Or they're for something really specific, like teeth. The industrial 3D scanners GW was using in the early 2000s to scan 3-ups (before they switched to 3D printing) were in the $10,000+ range.
not sure I can trust someone who would go through the headache of waiting 30 mins for their computer to boot up, it sounds like mental illness, mine starts in .05 seconds
