well, after the the 1st 3 coats and sanding you could probably stop there depending on the surface finish you are going for. If it's a matte finish that will be weathered that's all the work needed. If you want a super smooth high gloss finish, you need to put in the work.

Tbh if you put a little time into sanding the print before using the resin, there's no need to use baby powder at all. This is the exact process I use for making pokeballs..print, sand, paint on resin, sand again. It takes no more than a couple thin coats of resin to get the print completely smooth - with no b powder - smooth enough infact to be able to then chrome paint the pokeball to a mirror finish that can resemble electroplating.

ya, normally I would sand the print 1st but wanted to test a worst case. Thickening the resin seemed to make it easier to spread and run less then straight resin. I probably could have stopped after 3 coats but was trying to use up the remaining resin.

I’ll add one more thing you can do….use card scrapers or heavy utility blades to scrape the print shaving it. It’s a serious game changer. I use the sand, scrape, resin, repeat and get an incredibly smooth print. One last thing…that resin likes to pool in corners or lines, so have a clean sponge or qtips ready to clear any that collects in the lines and corners.

Scraping could be tough on a curved surface but would be good on flats. Spot on with it pooling in corners, Qtips is a good idea. Would have worked better then the toothpick I was using.

Great idea. I have used corn starch to thicken resin for filling seams between printed parts but never thought of using it with the 3D resin. For a smoother paint finish try using a guide coat of either black or red primer over the grey. Just a light dusting of the 2nd color, don't need to cover. Any low spots will stay the guide coat color as you sand, and stick out like a sore thumb. High spots will burn through the guide color on the first pass. It is an old body shop trick that has been around for years.

@jakefriesenjake
@jakefriesenjake 7 ай бұрын
​@@ImmortalReaverthere are many ways to do "guide coats". What you use depends on the project, but the most common is to use a grey "high fill, filler" primer (little thicker build than regular primer, and is made to be easy sanding and to be applied thicker) over the whole project, in 2 or 3 heavy coats. Then apply the cheapest flat black paint you can find. Then just mist it all over the project (doesn't have to have complete coverage, just speckled). Let that dry really well, then start sanding (with a block) till all the black specks are gone. If you are sanding to long in one place, but the black speckled aren't being touched, the you have a low spot. If you think that not to low, you might be able to do 2 or 3 more coats of the high fill primer in just that spot. If it's really low, add more resin or bondo or whatever. Then do the high fill primer over that and then the black speckles. Sand it again till all the black speckles are gone. If you didn't burn through all of layers of primer that you layed down, and everything is 1 color, then you can apply your top coat of paint, 2 or 3 coats. If you get good coverage, then add 2 coats of clear coat. Bingo! Other forms of guide coat is a very fine black powder made by 3m or other companies. It works great too, but is more expensive.

In the 70's we would cover our RC airplanes with silk. We would find unscented baby powder & mix it with butyrate dope (basically a plasticized lacquer) to make a primer sealer that hid the silk weave. Worked great! Talc is often the filler in plastic body filler too.

Great video that shows the process perfectly. Thanks for taking the time. The painting needs a little bit of practice with proper techniques and you'll be set! Some tips I've learned from auto-body pro friends that help prevent runs and get a smoother finish: -Always start and stop your sprays off on the object -Never use the "wiggly" method to coat the part -Move in a straight line with smooth consistent speed (remembering to start and stop each line OFF of the part) Watch a couple videos on how cars are painted and you'll see what I mean.

Interesting, basically the same idea as the filler primer but for deeper fills. I think it would probably work best to alternate sanding and filling going progressively finer grit and thinner coats respectively. Also for the detail work you want to preserve, I think filling it with some putty would be worth a try. Though then you need to be careful not to encase it in your filler coats

Turned out great. The "proper" finishing process for clear coating is to coat, sand, coat, sand until happy - and then bring the paint back up with a polishing compound from the sanded state, not apply another layer and letting it sit. Granted, this turned out great but a polishing compound on the sanded-matte clear coat works wonders. Between the final wetsanding and then the polishing compound you get basically zero "orange peel". In fact going over the final result here with some compound and a polisher would probably still make it better.

Looks really good. As mentioned in other comments, there are a few different processes that can achieve the same result. The filling method does have limitations when it comes to fine detail such a textures on a figurine for example whete it will smooth out the detail. Best to just go the slow, finer print method in this case. One other small thing. I like the idea behind the paint shaker but paint needs agitation to mix, not a centrifuge which actually separates the solids from the liquid. Great idea but needs tweak somehow. Keep up the great content!

So I did some research: talcum powder is around 26 microns for median particle size. Corn starch is around 2mm. I understand the health concerns around talcum powder, so I thought: what's a similar, but easy to obtain powder that's around that size? Apparently arrowroot powder is around 27 microns, but it's almost twice the cost of cornstarch. I mean cornstarch is cheap, so it's not like break-the-bank more expensive, but it would be interesting to see if a finer particle size would be better or worse. As for everyone saying "just sand" the point of the video is to smooth a print without sanding. We definitely need fewer microplastics in the world, although I realize a hobby like 3D printing is at odds with that statement. Still, it's a cool solution and I would love to see more like it!
@DaveRigDesign
@DaveRigDesign 8 ай бұрын
The powder is already pretty fine, don't think going any finer would give noticeable results. Possibly the thicker you make the mix the more it will matter. I wondered if just getting bulk cornstarch from a baking store would also work, it should, but not sure if it would be as fine or if the cost would be more/less since it is good grade. The bottle of baby powder was $4 I think, by far the cheapest component in the process :)
@tbren6707
@tbren6707 8 ай бұрын
I've never tried this, but I'd imagine going smaller may not give much more noticeable results. Seems like its purpose is too thicken the resin a bit so it can hold inside of the gaps you're trying to fill, rather than just pouring out. Also, corn starch particle size is definitely not 2mm lol. I'd guess its not far off from talcum, but not sure.

Great technique! For the recessed, relief areas, the hexes could be printed separately and then glued in later to preserve the detail. I understand that this is just a demonstration piece, but the method could be applied to other things. Just something to add to this method for finer detail that would not be possible otherwise.

Or you could just fill them with latex or some other masking medium prior to painting on the resin & scrape it out after.

​@@drakocarrionI had that thought too but then if you cure the resin you will probably seal it in and if you don't cure the resin it's going to be a big mess. It might be possible on some parts and maybe half curing the resin and doing it might work but I think it's going to depend a lot on the details of the peice.

You can bring the clearcoat to a smooth mirror finish by wet sanding and then using polishing wax (like turtle wax) and a sponge/power drill adapter. The drill makes the polishing super efficient and the sponge would conform to the sphere nicely.

Or just print it in ABS with an adaptive layer height followed by acetone vapor polish for a few mins. Done right, no resolution lost, while getting a glossy finish, that also strengthens the layer adhesion. No worries of UV degradation(UV resin degrades over time) either. Much cheaper than UV resin. Just some 💭
@DaveRigDesign
@DaveRigDesign 8 ай бұрын
Could, but if you are printing big you need a big heated chamber to print ABS reliably. Also once painted Resin degradation isn't a issue as its protected. PLA is the much easier option to use. Vapor smoothing get more difficult the bigger the print also. This process is definitely better for large scale prints and less optimal for small scale things. I don't think I would try it of anything smaller than the print I tested with.
@aware2action
@aware2action 8 ай бұрын
@@DaveRigDesign Yes, you are spot on. Printing ABS without a heated chamber is tough, but with printers like Qidi X Max3, should not be an issue. Also the Acetone chamber needs to be custom designed(simple paper towel dip will not work well, apart from taking too much time). For smaller parts, Sanding or Sand blasting, followed by UV resin coat(clear 2 part epoxy? might work as well), is the way to go, except for the effort involved.

@@jonathandavis3754 All you need to know is the boiling point of Acetone. Ensure the vessel is made of conductive material and temperature controlled precisely. Have the lid to be isolated from the vessel, but have a lot of specific heat capacity, so that it keeps cooling vapor to maintain concentration. Also have some risers not to let part float in Acetone. Dose a tiny amount few ml, time it, tune accordingly. The idea is to build enough concentration, but not too much, otherwise too much softening and loss of detail. Duration is also critical. Making a recyclable chamber is possible, but advanced. Also use PPE while using the setup, and no open flame or sparks in the vicinity. Better be safe than sorry. That said, it should be fairly easy to modify some off the shelf cookware to achieve the results😉, if not dealing with large objects.

Your airbrush technique needs refining. You should start spraying away from the piece and at steady speed sweep across the piece. Starting the spray directly on the piece risks throwing globs of paint on the initial burst. To get better lacker finishes its worth doing a mist coat wait a moment until tacky and then applying a wet coat. The mist coat will provide something for the wet coat to adhere and will assist in avoiding runs. Keep the wet cut fairly thin, again wait briefly and apply a second. Done right you wont need any sanding.

After priming the amount of sanding depends on the paint finish you want. If you are using a matte finish you don't need to same as much or after sanding the 1st primer coat. But if you want a high gloss mirror finish it is required. I didn't even take it far enough as you can see the orange peeling in the clear coat still. More wet sanding and clear coats then buffing after the final sanding is needed for a smooth mirror finish

right, some common sense also needs to be applied. If you work with resin in large volumes every day you should take all the necessary precautions. If you use it once and are careful not to slop it everywhere you will be fine. Amount of exposure needs to be factored in

This can't be stated enough, ESPECIALLY in the 3D printing community! It baffles me how people are so casual about it. That is, it is understandable in a way though... it is simple lack of knowledge and the sheer amount of BAD examples on KZfaq, even from reputable channels!! Out of the hundreds of videos I've seen about working with resin, 3D printing related, only a tiny handful state the health dangers and proper protection every time. In all other videos it is 'free for all' (because they just copy what the see on other channels). And then you get people like that one comment above who suggest airbrushing resin... I mean.... WTF! Common sense isn't common.

great to see this is still going around i suggested this idea over fare few years ago on my facebook groups to fdm users its a great way to use up the last of the uv resin from bottles and gives you loads of working time then cure. i was very disappointed with the 2 part xtc resin for smoothing prints as it always started to cure before you finished and found that using printer resin was a way better option though i never used baby powder great video. wish i had done one back in the day just though back then that everyone else would have thought of the same idea :)

It really does make spaying domes, tanks and spheres so much easier when you can just spin the item around smoothly, I find holding some round objects annoying when trying to lay paint smooth
