Brother Glacius 1,821 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Love to see your phrozen sonic mini in action Scott. I've been eyeing that one myself. Currently my wife has nixed the 3D printer idea so far. Apparently I have "too many" models as it is. 🙂 Justjokin and Torg 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottshoemaker 2,900 Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 I can post the prints I'm making if anyone is interested. "Action" is a misnomer Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottshoemaker 2,900 Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 I've been using Elegoo Water Washable resin and am quite pleased with it. I had a happy accident. I put my finished model with supports in my water bath to scrub it and got distracted. I promptly forgot about for an an hour or so and pulled it out. The surface was a bit soft, but the supports came off like slow cooked pork ribs. As long as you touch the model by the supports and/or unimportant sections to avoid marring the surface it worked like a champ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justjokin 1,249 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 It's glorious in that GrimDark way! I get the sense that is about the right scale? Really cool prints. Are the undersides smooth, or is there a void when the pieces are assembled? Pics or it didn't happen! HAHA! No really, are we going to see some next gen Grot Tanks?

scottshoemaker 2,900 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 I manually hollow the hulls to reduce fluid adhesion and resin usage. Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justjokin 1,249 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Tell me more about reducing fluid adhesion? Meaning the resin clinging to the model, that is usually has to be washed away? Also, where are you finding the models for this? Looking great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottshoemaker 2,900 Posted April 2 Author Report Share Posted April 2 I try to keep the surface area on the FEP to a minimum to reduce the fluid suction forces between it and the print plane. Too much area being printed at once will rip the print off the supports. I got all the models off Thingverse, over a period of time. Some are scaled down 28mm (Sicaran), some are scaled up Epic (Land Raider, Predator). All had to be modified. I'll share the files to any who want them. I have the modified parts STLs, presupported STLs, and chitubox files. None are suitable for 28mm anymore. Justjokin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
