9:00 This is the biggest thing I've learned from printing larger models, especially the ones you find for free; my ability to support, the speed that I can do it now and being able to see what will be easiest to clean off without damaging the model is something that is much harder to figure out on 28mm figures, but a couple monsters or vehicles and you learn a ton. Since I started 3d printing, I've actually come to enjoy printing as a hobby even more than painting, but not as much as kitbashing. Unfortunately kitbashing and printing both lead to painting, so...

Sooo... the issue isn't that you're super focused on a task. The issue is that you just need a bigger apartment/condo/house ;) next project idea, how much will it cost to buy some vacant land and 3D print a bigger house for my 3D printings :D Did you try Meshmixer for hollowing yet? Watch MakersMuse video on hollowing and adjust as needed. His sample is for an open bottom model but if you bypass the unnecessary steps, you can hollow and export for supporting and adding drain holes. I would link to the video but I'm not sure if you would approve that. The titans are looking awesome! Looking forward to seeing the Warlord completed!

@daringdarius568611 ай бұрын
Hey Sam, I have returned! Again with some pointers! 1) For the reasons listed in the video, and many more (which I'm sure you are already aware of) such as: difficulty pinning, difficulty drilling magnets, difficulty keeping intact, easy to break, slightly dense, hard to print, resin is bad for thine lungs, etc, I also do not currently recommend printing titans on resin. Even if an true "ABS-like" resin was to come into the conversation (They exist, but they are basically as strong as a weak PLA), I would still promote avoiding this route. 2) However! Printing titans with an FDM printer is an entirely different beast! Using different techniques, you can use standard PLA to create lighter, FAAAAAR more durable, Titans that can be practically thrown across the room (so long as you are fine with a small dent and pinning/gluing parts back together, i.e. those that snap at the glue joint) your model will most likely be fine. One of the first tests I did with printing the Warlord titan is I went outside to the concrete walkway up to the house, jumped up, and slammed down a failed Warlord Titan head... It had a small dent! :O 3) The downsides to doing an FDM titan print however, is that a) the detail isn't the same level, and b) it takes waaay more time. 4) However, to combat the cons is fairly easy: Just don't! Print your titans at 0.2 mm layer heights, this will create a more durable part, which is also incidentally the sweet spot for fast printing while retaining some decent detail. If you really are opposed to the layer lines, do some light post processing via sanding. Then put on a thick primer, paint away, and the model from 3 feet away looks perfectly fine, up close obviously you can tell it's 3D printed, but who cares? My Warhound Titan costed me $18 USD to print in PLA (cheaper now if you buy the 10 kg of PLA for $100, that would lower the price down closer to about $9 of material and $3 or so in electricity) and I took my time and enjoyed it! 5) I have dropped my Warhound... about 5 times. No base, hit at awkward and bad angles. Armour took the brunt, toes are all intact, etc. 6) More Pros! PLA is lighter, and you can make parts more hollow! On top of that, if you are good at 3D printing and now how to abuse tree supports on large models, you waste less material and now have background low-poly trees! ;D But in all seriousness, weight is something you don't account for until you do. According to GW, the Warlord is 6.8 KG or 15 pounds. From what I've gathered and heard, resin printed warlord seem to be about 4 pounds lighter so let's call it an even 10 pounds when all is said and done, because although some resins are denser than what FW puts out, a resin printed Warlord has hollow parts which can shed a lot of weight. However, a FDM printed Warlord Titan weighs much less. A warlord is supposed to weigh about 8-11 lbs depending on infill preferences and the such, and will take about 7 kg of PLA (a lot has to be sacrifice for support material) to print so normally $140, however with Elegoos great 10 kg for $99.99 deal (which should be a no-brainer because you get 3 more kg of PLA than 7 AND save $40, so go print yourself 2-3 warhounds for free!) it ends up being a fraction of the cost of a resin printed warlord, with none of the downfalls (except detail). Hope this helped somebody and was insightful! Have a good one people, time to go pass out! (Just got off work) Edit: My Warlord Titan is taking forever to print and approximately 8.1 kg but that's because I scaled up the model ever so slightly so that the Warlord Titan's expected height is 24 inches rather than the 20.98 or whatever the model/actual scale of a Warlord is. It helps hide the layer lines ever so slightly, and I get to claim my Warlord is *literally* bigger than yours! XD

The biggest thing I've printed is an Astreus and I thought that was a nightmare to hollow, support, and print. And then learn I didn't know how to support large models all that well because I'd never done anything that big before, and had to re-support and re-print about a third of the parts. That really started to feel like a chore and I can't even imagine trying to print a whole Titan Legion.

As someone who owns a GW made Warlord Titan, the prints you have do look a higher quality than GW's own resin however the breakages you've had especially on the Reaver i know for a fact wouldnt occur on a GW made one, while the resin might warp and you get nasty airbubbles and mold lines, the actual models so long as you dont drop them on a hard surface are fairly durable things especially when moving them around...like I took my warlord over a mile in my rucksack with little to no bubble wrap or protection (which was extremely stupid i admit) and only one piece broke off, though it was the superglue that had actually came off rather than the piece breaking

My Final Guess would be around 1000.- with everything, Printer/Resin/Stls. Now iam going to watch :) Cruious! Edit: First guess wasnt that bad, Warhound would cost with everything, 1050.- Bucks (Swiss Bucks :D). Edit 2: That was pretty Interessing, it comes all down to the Question how much should the Printer cost. But what i really curious been about, is where did you got the Stls from? Would like to got a DM for that, just the Source. Thanks alot!

As someone who aspires to do 3d hobby printing at some point, I am wondering how FDM printers compare to resin for printing large but intricate vehicle models like this? What would be gained or lost in detail, weight, cost, or strength with FDM by comparison? Most of the comparisons tend to talk about huge FDM terrain pieces vs tiny resin models. How do they compare for midsize battlemech sorts of models, or all vehicle tabletop armies?
