I did not talk about this build enough in 2019, so I am bringing it back in 2020 to show you how I resin printed and finished a RE-45 from Apex Legends using only a Anycubic Photon 3d Printer.
Sorry about that! I used a slightly different audio setup for editing this one and I did notice the music was a tad louder, I'll tweak the levels next time! :)
Just finished watching this. Insane effort. I have a few models im working with. Ive completed a medix gun. Id love to send one over and you can review my work. Cheers!
If you ever need to break apart a super glue bonds try sticking it in the freezer for a couple of hours, frozen super glue is super brittle and breaks apart easily. I'm not sure how that will affect SLA resin... but it works great with Warhammer models.
It's definitely a good trick, but sadly less useful for SLA prints as I noticed on the acrylite based resins (not Siraya Blu) is that its very brittle in cold temperatures below freezing.
You need to practice in building and placing supports manually (Auto Support sucks). It takes time, however it will make the post processing of the parts much easier since the damage to the parts will be minimal. Also sand before curing. It removes material a lot faster.
Yep I really did, to be fair I built and filmed this a year ago and my support placement and settings have gotten a lot better (I also learned not to cure parts before support removal). I can't wait to edit and share the newer builds.
New subscriber to the channel. Good video, but did have one question. How much Resin did you use? It didn't look like you hollowed out the model to cut down on the costs. Keep up the nice content.
I used roughly 1.1 liters of resin including a few fails, the model is semi hollow as I removed interior sections to reduce material consumption, in most of the parts but kept the walls thick to make connecting parts easier.
Hey Yasu, I'm building Deckard's blaster from Blade Runner. I'm having trouble with flat parts that I have supports on. They don't come out perfectly flat but kinda bowed. Like the parts had sagged. I've been printing the parts flat on the build plate but sometimes they warp off the build plate. Please help. Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply (youtube is horrible with comment notifications lately). Without seeing the setup, I'd say you need more supports especially on heavier objects. For large objects that eat most of the build volume I'm in the camp of ultra dense supports. And not sure what printer you are running but I also recommend slowing down the lift speeds so that it gently peels the part off the FEP sheet.
@@HiroCreations Hey thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Your recommendations make a lot of sense. I'll try the dense supports. The slow lift also sounds like great advice. I'll try that too. Thanks again Yasu.
I just bought one of these. I don’t wanna get cancer. If you’re the one selling them on Etsy, once it arrives will I have to be worried?? get back to me when you have a chance because it’s almost here lol😂
