3D Prints Gallery

Really nice prints but yeah joining them neatly might be tricky, I have a cheap 3d pen at work for joining broken parts, it works well but I don’t have to be neat.
 
What primer are people using?? I've been searching but can't really find a decent answer. And is it just acrylic paint and a brush?

I was just advised to use a plastic primer so just bought what was available. I should probably get a filler/sandable one too.

As for paint you should probably use the high quality modelling paint like Vallejo, Citadel, Army Painter etc. but as a beginner I just bought cheap multi pack of acrylic paint from Amazon and use brushes but it looks like an air brush gets the best results.

Still got the tank to print, but happy so far
 
This job would have been so easy if I had a large bed resin printer and still probably cheaper than the official endoskeleton bust. On my tiny resin printer and relatively small FDM one it's taken ages to get this far and now loads of work to join, fix and finish things. I'm too tight to just bin an almost complete failed print so when it was 95% done and went wrong I kept it & have employed Milliput. It sorta looks ok but close up there's loads of imperfections and there's only so much sanding I can be bothered to do. Anything I can't see I'm not bothering with sanding, plus I don't mind the layer lines on he base. Just hoping it'll look OK when I eventually use the chrome paint.

Resin printer let me down a bit on this one. I'm seriously tempted to do a big upgrade at the end of the year as I quite fancy doing a big ship soon and hang it from the ceiling.

No picture, but I'm currently printing some M4 bolts & nuts for my VESA adapter, what an amazing idea I hear you cry... :D
 
  • Haha
Reactions: DHR
I was going to, thought I'd see if printed ones could make it a bit more stable as I'm using too short bolts right now (has to use an adapter as MSI hate VESA apparently)
 
lol i know, they wouldn't have been weight bearing but they didn't even get fully screwed in before they died.
 
I recently printed this out to show the kids, and they loved it especially the full 360-degree spin! Plus, it’s been surprisingly useful for carrying my coffee out to the office!

Centripetal Force Demonstrator by falconphysics

I saw the Centrifugal Mug Carrier by Ecogeeco and decided to see if I could make my own. It's pretty much the same thing as the SpillNot I've seen from Arbor Scientific. It is sized to fit a standard coffee cup (83 mm diameter, 110 mm tall). You'll need to tie a string or strap to the ring.You...
