@FLbk3010 2 года назад

Just a tip from someone who works professionally with 3D printers: just use a pot with hot water and put the parts in for one minute. Then you normally can easily pull of the supports (sometimes depends on the used material). Just make sure it is not as hot that the parts also start to bend/deform.

@maevethefox5912 2 года назад

@@thunderstruck6647 I use about 85C from my kettle, but that was with Forge World resin for Warhammer kits, I can't be sure if the 3d printed stuff would work quite the same. Advice I got was to start with hot tap water, and if it doesn't do enough, add splashes of boiling from a kettle until it works. Another good option for longer pieces is a hair dryer, they can direct a pretty solid and controlled amount of heat.

@bleysmcnutt5500 2 года назад

He cites at 5:08, that the reason he didn't do it is because "3d Resin doesn't react well to that, and they won't bend back into their original position a week later."

Yes! It can clearly be seen that the French had been fielding the Panther post war and used the tech and updated it for the running gear. It would be an interesting concept to do a what if model of a 1948 panzer MBT of a victorious German-GB-USA pact vs Soviet cold war era vehicle.

@NightShiftScaleModels 2 года назад

Hey there King, some of the print texture is very hard to remove and it would require a lot of time and effort, but the best way is to accept the model for what it is - a raw 3D print (and that already makes it pretty unique!). It's also surprising how much can be hidden or obscured by paint :)

@Panzermeister36 2 года назад

Yeah I guess armour texture and primer and paint all work to conceal it.

@ho-2036 2 года назад

When watching you grind that resin, I just had to say something. That paper mask isn’t going to keep those super fine resin particles out of your lungs. I recommend getting a 3M 7502 mask with some P100 filters, or equivalent. When sanding, do it wet. You won’t know you sucked up too much resin until it’s too late and you become hypersensitive to dust. Just trying to help.

@@NightShiftScaleModels Yes -- assuming they're using consumer-grade printers, we're talking 3 seconds for most layers, and there are likely 20 layers per mm of height. Since the hull looks like it was printed standing on its front, that's per mm of the length. Plus it has to be cleaned and cured -- and they have to account for failed prints in their costs.

@barrag3463 2 года назад

Protip from someone who handles 3D printed resin models, albeit not tank ones, at my work. The bottom hard piece the supports are attached to is called the raft, and we often break that into pieces before beginning to remove individual supports, as it makes it a little easier to get at the more interior supports. The supports attaching it to the parts will often break off the parts with the raft pieces before the parts break (with obvious exceptions when it comes to more delicate parts).

@cesaresordina5080 2 года назад

If you put the pieces in hot water the various support will come off easily. With most type of resin it works

@NightShiftScaleModels 2 года назад

Indeed, I've been told the same thing. However I had a bad experience when washing the model with soapy water, the moisture made the tracks "soft" and grow in size. I forgot to mention it in the video, but luckily, the "shrank" back to their original size. So I'd rather avoid it with some fragile parts, just to play it safe.

To fix resin pinholes or even to weld broken pieces you should purchase a small bottle of resin used in MSLA printers. You can apply a drop with a toothpick to fill in the hole or even to hold pieces together and if use a UV flashlight to instantly harden it. Then you can sand it down like normal.

This is really impressive! I used to run conventions for Games Workshop and it would often mean building out resin Forge World models for displays. The level of detail on the larger vehicles never got close to this, and there was always a copious amount of having to de-warp large hull panels. Set me off ever looking at resin, honestly. I will say, I would miss the fun of assembling plastic kits, I'm one of those who really enjoys putting 800 pieces together over a week or so in the evening, but seeing the technology at work really excites me in regards to aftermarket bits, the barrel especially, but also turret options for rarer versions of vehicles that already have solid hull kits out there.
