I've stopped using sandingsticks and other files almost completely since I got my Raser. Yeah it was expensive but it works like a dream. Only wish there were narrower versions available for those hard to reach places.
Creative demo using the paper templates. I’ve been modeling for about fifty years and this has been the best comparison tutorial I’ve seen. I will buy the Razer
the way you explaining 'technical' aspect in the most laymen possible is simply brilliant. not only it doesn't stops there, you went ahead to translate what does it simply meant at the end of the day.
Hi guys I'm new to gunpla Serious question: whats the point when you can still see the nubmark afterwards? I sand it down with 1k , 1.5k, 2k and 2.5k after cutting and it's almost invisible
I have the cheap one, and with some melanine sponge and hobby knife the results are really nice! Price is a huge factor for me, as I live in Brazil, where the taxes (when applied) are over 60% the price of a product + shipping.
Se sim, eu conheço um canal aqui que chama Febre Gundam, que eu vejo de vez em quando, e sei que tem um grupo no Reddit de Gunpla mas aí não sei se é movimentado
@Augusto Souza imagina! mas assim, eu acho que o conteúdo gringo ainda acaba sendo melhor, por eles terem mais acesso aos kits que a gente, então eu acabo sempre acompanhando eles. O que o Febre Gundam fala de uma forma mais relevante é sobre importação e tals.
Funny enough, I've been using the one glass file that doesn't count in this review for almost a year now. Sounds like I've been going about it wrong and could use the upgrade.
If it works, it works! Ultimately the Raser, in my opinion, is a little bit more of a timesaver. If you’re cranking out kits, it might be worth your while, but that’s if time is important to you when building
Hey man, I know this is an old video but you gained a subbed with that creative but intuitive demonstration of the cutting action with paper. I feel way more informed. I look forward to checking the rest of your content
Hey! I actually had the same complaint about not being able to see through the RASER, but it turns out the top is just a sticker. Peel that off and it’s crystal clear!
the key difference between generic files is whether the cutting surface is circular or linear. the linear patterns one only cut in one direction and produces scratches. just be careful that not all generic files are the same
I genuinely love my cheap glass files. The "mild" cutting action leaves more room for my ADHD self, AND I can modify them to a softer/safer cutting action and surface without feeling guilty. For example, sometimes i'll accidentally round corners due to overhang, so to prevent that have 3 that are sealed up with super glue but have a thin nub-sized strip left on an edge or dead-center. This lets me cut the nub without having to worry about damaging the rest of the part due to misperception or me just being an idiot in a rush. I'll probably buy the raser when i get into MG kits, but i suspect by then i will have little use.
From now on, I'll call you sensei since I really like how you explain things like my professor did when I was in college who I used to call sensei as well. 😂
I have the Gunprimer gate remover set, and I lOVE it! If I make a mistake with the file, the polishing stick that it comes with, erases my mistakes easily.
Hah, i bought the sanding stick type glass file and thought all glass files were like that. i had also ordered the gunprimer gate eraser kit but ended up never using it and giving it away cause i figured it was just a bunch of sanding sticks like i already have.
Oh no! If you get the chance again, I would just get the Raser by itself. The buffing block in the kit is nice, but the Recover cloth doesn’t seem to do much for me.
Honestly id be willing to spend 25 for the raser, it's just I love in Canada, and I ain't willing to spend an extra 25 just on shipping. 🤷♂️ guess I'll stick with my generic glass file
Take my sub! Pretty new to gunpla, started just this October, and your video really helped me understand how sanding and all works. Really considering buying a gunprimer set thanks to your review. Merry Christmas!
Glad that I could help! In my personal opinion, I would just get the Raser/Raser+ by itself instead of the whole set. The Balancer blocks are pretty cheap on their own as well, or you could use any nail buffing block as a substitute. But I hardly find the denim sheets useful, so save the money where you can!
I find myself using the Raser+ because it's stronger and fits my (big) hands better. But I do feel that the Raser 1.5 is more versatile because it can fit in a few places the Raser+ can't. In the end, it's personal preference and you can't go wrong with either!
Thank you! Honestly, I don't think anyone's owned one long enough to know the answer! I use mine on 90% of the kits I build and still don't notice any decrease in performance
Wait a minute but doesn't the amazon have bigger holes? Then it should turn out the other way around, that the Amazon glass file should remove more plastic...
Yeah, each of them have their pros and cons. I like the Raser+ because it's easier for me to hold, the Raser 1.5 (now called the Raser Origin) will fit in some areas the Raser+ can't, but for the spots it can't fit in, I just use a hobby knife
@@aMillaGunpla cool! Bought 10pcs of cheap file since it's less than a dollar here.. i think i might cancel that and just buy 5pcs. Hehe. Thanks brother!
I'll typically use an old toothbrush to brush out the dust, works especially well with water, too! I've had others tell me they use masking tape to pull the dust out as well
It’s very unlikely that it would dull, I would try cleaning it with an old toothbrush under some water. There may be some plastic dust stuck in the crevices
