3D Printing Woes No Moes! BTS #61 (Patreon)

What up mini family?!
Holy cow, the early release video is late! It's coming right up, just finished it today. The reason it took me so long is because I had to learn a bunch about the ins and outs of 3D printing and getting crispy detail. I learned about manually placing supports, dialing in your exposure times, what types of resin print miniatures best, and more! When I went to write the script for this week's video, it turned out I had enough content to make 2 whole videos. It made sense too, because they were entirely different topics. One was more painting focused, and the other more 3D printing focused. Anyways, here's how my 3D printed miniature paint job came out.



I had a lot of fun messing around with the color green; seeing how far I could stretch it. Every element of my paint scheme has some shade of green it in somewhere. I've always heard about monochromatic paint schemes, and while this isn't a true monochromatic paint scheme, it was still fun to give it a shot and put my spin on it. On the topic of getting crispy 3D prints....

I was able to print this model at 60% size and get really nice detail still! This success, and the research I have done, really have given me a feeling of agency over my 3D prints, so I started supporting and printing other styles of minis to see what kinds of results I can get with them! This is what I'm currently printing right now (I think the vampire didn't stick to the build plate sadly)

That's all for now!
PAINT MORE MINIS!
