I’ve been looking at 3D printing for a long time but something has always held me back, but maybe it’s finally good enough. It’s time to crash a LAAT Gunship.

My recent foray into 3d printing with Danny’s stunning dragon model has absolutely sold me on resin printing for minis, but for the scale of builds I’m often working on it’s still a very expensive option for terrain, so today we’ve got a little project using the other main class of 3D printer, FDM. This style of machine builds prints in layers of extruded plastic, which means that it works in an incredibly cheap material, but has always had the MAJOR drawback of leaving a surface texture of little layer lines. These have always been a huge turn off for me, but today I’m going to be working with some prints from a super accessible FDM printer, applying a bit of finishing techniques and seeing if 3D printing is finally good enough at the market entry level.
Those of you who have seen the second installment of out Star Wars Legion Geonosis campaign will be familiar with the crashed LAAT Gunship centrepiece that dominated the landscape. This is the perfect piece for our case study as it is supposed to look similar to the quality of the minis taking cover within it’s flaming carcass.

No offense to this guy's pal, but the tech is already there, the issue 99 times out of a hundred is people don't put in the initial work to calibrate the machines and run the cheapest, nastiest filament they can find on Amazon through them. An extra hour of effort while assembling the machine to ensure it's absolutely true, level, and everything is appropriately tightened, and a few additional minutes to run some temp and extrusion calibration tests when you start using a given filament(they'll all have very slightly different properties, even buying the same brand a few months apart) saves hours upon hours of frustration and post-processing work later. And that's before you consider upgrades for the machine you can print out yourself to enhance it like better fan shrouds to improve bridging & adjustable-fixed bed supports so that once you level the bed it stays level pretty much forever unless you move the machine, or the fact you can go all the way down to 0.08mm layer height with a 0.2mm diameter nozzle on a machine like the Ender 3(providing you're prepared to wait a fair wee while for the prints to finish of course :P). FDM isn't resin by any stretch, but a properly calibrated machine with the right slicer settings and affordable but not bargain-bin filament should generate prints that don't require anything more than a coat or two of spray automotive filler primer and the occasional bit of sanding and putty to deal with support removal blemishes to be ready for paint.

I think something that is really important to remember here is that its a failed print. that by no means is an accurate example of what can be accomplished by an fdm printer (even the cheap ender 3 is capable of some incredibly clean prints). but, even being a failed print has turned out fantastically for a terrain piece.

@@Zorpazorp I realize this is a year old video and your experience and opinion might be completely different now, but... that print quality is really bad and isn't a great indicator of what it would be like to work with even average quality FDM prints. I'm not talking about it being a failed print, but the parts that are successful are bad. Printing model prints at anything bigger than .15 mm layer heights is a waste of time in my opinion. And two layers of a spray can filler primer or XTC epoxy can do wonders to hide layer lines, but you might not need any post processing if you print at a low enough layer height. Hell, you can do decent 28mm miniatures if you buy a .15 mm nozzle and do .5 mm layer heights if you can't afford both a resin and FDM printer.

@@Zorpazorp You're welcome. You can't texture with millibutter, but you can decide what level of cover you want by how liquid you make it. So use modeling putty first and hide the roughness and rest of the marks with the butter. 3D Gloop should also be something you can airbrush on. Funnily enough I saw Make Anything's 2 year old video about it right after yours. Looked pretty good. :)

A hands free smoothing technique is to drop your prints in a sealed container alongside an open cup of acetone. The fumes from the acetone will fill the container and smooth your layer lines out overnight. Just be sure the cup isn't plastic or you'll wake up to a terrible mess.
