Man I know this video just dropped and I'm still watching, but you can hear how much happier you are in this video. You sounds way more optimistic and relaxed, it's great to hear. Super happy for you :]

Hey dude, I don't normally comment on anything, but I seriously wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing. Keep doing what you're doing. Your videos are top tier, mate.

that flexible resin is very impressive, looks super durable

Man, you are really selling me on that resin. I can see it performing well with LEDs under it for light-up engines and portals.

Happy to hear you with extra excitement after people rallied together to help you out! These videos are awesome, even for someone who only has FDM printers and is waiting to eventually get into the Resin space. Great paint jobs from the community too, holy crap are so many people talented with a brush.

Benfett here, finally getting a chance to watch through the full video proper. Thanks for the kind feedback on my paintjob! Honestly had such an absolute blast with the print and paint. Seeing everyone's paintjobs come together all at the same time was such great inspiration fodder. Especially as someone who struggles often with staying dedicated to painting consistently. Love this idea, and will definitely be sticking around the Patreon and participating if the models are half as cool as this walker!

If you clean it before removing the supports and then put it in hot water (ca. 50 C), the supports will be MUCH easier to remove, and they will come off more cleanly.

23:45 One thing I invested in is a pair of magnetic build plates. I can just take the plate off and bend it sightly to get the models off, and the second one I just stick on and immediately start the next print!

Love me the feel of dimensionally accurate bases

Thanks for the great video! On the subject of removing the prints without gloves, I've found it's best to just err on the side of caution. Yes, the mount should be clean and safe, but all it takes is one moment of not paying attention with your grip and you start banging your knuckles against the resin-coated top of the plate. The scraper handle is also super easy to get resin on, even if you don't realize it: I had a scraper that I swore was clean, but the moment I put it under the curing light, I saw all the resin splatter on it. That convinced me to always be cautious with wearing gloves around uncured prints.

Hey! Cheers for the shout-out, mate! End results look fantastic! Also, you cracked me up with the music 😂🤣😂

I really like the idea of having a print and paint-along regularly

The nice thing about the heater is that I can easily install in any printer with the space, not even just AnyCubic

This is actually a great way for artists to get their stuff out there... Thats awesome! As far as people freaking out about touching the resin.... I literally have dentures that ive modified with it ive been wearing for over a year and a half with no health effects at all .. if i can have this stuff in my MOUTH its probably not gonna kill you if it touches your hand, especially if you wash it off.

Modelers model, supporters make those models printable, makers print those models. To do all three of those jobs well is more than challenging. This is the revolution going on right now. So, if a modeler can get you a beautiful model if YOU support and print and Paint, well there you go.

printer man posts, I click like. Simple As.

just switched to anycubics "tough" resin (not ultra just the standard), game changer! Much less viscous and less stressful than ABS-Like Resin for the printer, good quality prints, less exposure time. Prints are also tougher (less brittle). WIN WIN WIN

People need to relax and not be so judgy lol. Common sense seeing you take the minitures off the plate you can see how you handle keeping resin off your hands. Love your videos man!! Keep it up, you are a very nice change to content that not alot do. Hopefully nobody catches on and your channel keeps growing. Great job

Yea, for the heater integration you suggest, you would require a redesign of the motherboard and probably a daughter circuit board. Plus a shell redesign which they probably didn't want to do. Anycubic just probably used all existing parts and just updated the printers resolution. Then instead of $450 ish, they would charge 600.

Got to the part about the spatula, and just wanted to suggest looking at Wham Bam magnetic build plates. Made my printing so much simpler. I attached the magnet to the build plate, put it on a flat hard surface, and put some weights on it overnight. Then just have to align the flex plate to the magnet. Print's done, remove the flex plate, you can drop that into your IPA no problem or flex it to get the raft to pop off. Almost never have to use a spatula these days. I usually wash it in IPA with the prints then after it dries it goes back on the build plate, but you can get extras so you can rotate them if you're doing lots of printing.

Dungeons and Dreadnoughts is a phenominal artist. Thank you for helping get their name out there. I am also very happy to know your channel will continue as it is a positive force in the hobby. Thanks for kicking ass.

I'm pretty sure what AGN was doing when you were looking at his model, is demonstrating a chameleon-like cloaking mechanism. Like his mech was coming out of being camouflaged into its surroundings, which is why there's that crackling blue edge lighting just before the super textured legs as if it was trying to blend into a wall or high ground. I've seen people do something very similar with stealth Tau models.

I thought the same thing but quickly changed my mind when I realized I can move the heater/filter to any machine I want, including another printer if I move on from the AnyCubic.

Love that idea with the files on the patreon. So... subscribed! 😁🤘

Love this channel. It has gotten me into resin printing, taught me about it, and gotten me to give up a whole other room in my house to printing and modeling. Love you man can’t wait to see more videos from you in the future. Definitely a long term watcher now

Ordered my first 3D printer thanks to you bud! You've a wealth of knowledge and a great platform we're more than happy to support you!

This was awesome! I was always curious about clear resins. I was leaning towards them because I thought they might be easier to cure (aka full penetration) ;) Glad to see it all worked out nicely.

I'm looking forward to this video format each month. you have really inspired me to get back into mini painting. thank you so much

About the Heater Block: The upside it being a seperate unit is, that you can use it for pretty much any printer.

OMG another great video!! love these, they are like a friend in the room chatting away about passionate things while i hobby or chill! love it!!!!

Yo mate, just wnated to say I love your work, I prefer your unscripted stuff, I can hear how relaxed and chill you are and you're actually having a good time! Keep it up man.

Massive supporter of Daniel at Tabletop Empires, love the clip mate.

I’ve only ever really been Into fdm printing. Recently I got a resin printer and for the love of everything I couldn’t get successful prints. If it wasn’t for your content and videos on supports I would have trashed the thing so thank you for everything you do

Agree on the customer support, had a couple of interactions with them and they have been very helpful.

Thanks for the great content. I dont play any tabletop games or print anything in resin. But you make this interesting and fun to watch.

I just ordered the AnyCubic Photon Mono 5s Pro, it is to be delivered today. I am familiar with filament printers as I have a Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro, now I have coming thew mono 5s Pro I can't wait!!!

Having someone who has a bar for quality offer STL files is HEAVEN! Now, I just need a modeler who's also into gunpla and is willing to craft part-separated models for the optimal painting experience.

gday mate. loving your new videos. tips and tricks. sharpen your spatula to a better angle, bunnings spatulas just thwonk the side of your raft. sharper = better for getting prints off safely.

With the time, I feel that resin review should include a kitbash test, so we can determine if it is worth cutting/trimming for mixing with other kits and bits.

Okay as a fellow designer, this is a great idea.

Honestly, creatily standard resin is also pretty tough. Keep up the awesome videos my dude!

Your energy is so upbeat in this video I’m loving it man and I love the idea of your patreon

Some sexy walkers there mate!

Wow that resin is something else. I've just started out with a Mars 3 Pro so I gotta burn through my starter resin but I definitely know what I'll be getting in the future.

Thank you man, your videos helped me take the plunge into resin printing. All of your tips and guides saved me incalculable amounts of time and headaches. In regards to the build plate scraping issue, I had been doing the same thing as you to get really stuck prints off my plate, but after 2-3 prints my prints would fail. I discovered that this was due to the fact that I was ever so slightly knocking the build plate off level each print due to the force I was applying to the plate. I would hold the top of the build plate where it attaches to the rail (as this was not covered in resin) which caused there to be some leverage on the levelling joint, I am sure this could be avoided by holding the build plate itself, or bracing it against something. I stopped doing this altogether and use a razor blade to lift the edge and then push my spatula under, often releasing the whole build plate in a few smooth passes. This might not apply to all printers but it did to me. If anyone calibrated and levelled their printer, got amazing prints and then a few prints later have fails, this could be your issue!

Sometimes a hammer is the best tool for the job ;) As far as the gloves go...Everything I've heard says every bit of resin that comes into contact with your skin increases the chances you'll eventually develop a strong reaction to it. If you want to continue this hobby for as long as you can, just use the gloves. If your eyes are all scratchy and red it's because you're using that UV light WO any eye protection.

man your videos are amazing! Id love to see you use this resin with a super detailed model to see how it performs

Wonderful video man, really love when the music is rolling. Thanks learned a ton!

you could carefully put some of the transparent resin in the window recesses, cure it, and then it'll give an impression of thick, bullet proof glass, which you could weather with a hint of dust, and maybe an impact of two.

Realistically, if the heater had a timer that you could vaguely match up to print time, the hazard would be much more minimal.

Nice video, really enjoyed the showcasing of painted models at the end!

I really liked this video. It was nice to have in the background for painting ^^

Keep doing what you are doing, i love your content. i Do have to say that i totally understand the anxiety everyone has watching you hack at the build plate with that scraper!

also as far as the heater , tip is to turn it on before the print because it heats the resin last and the chamber first and it can heat the model while printing and cause it to soften and fail

That resin is awesome, I've been meaning to find a good clear resin and this might be the one.

You just explained why my third print warped the FEP and why supports are good. Like my Tough resin but a bit too flexible for some applications, thinking of getting ABS like V2.

Pshaw, you only need one walker, Walker Texas Ranger. 🤣🤣🤣

I love that when the UV lamp is pointed at the camera I reflexively closed my eyes....... feeling dumb now

Keep your head up, it’s a pleasure to listen to you

top vid, always wanted more from you!!!

Also glue the sand on after priming. 🙂

The ankles caught me out too! I just ran some extras.

@19:00 Just get one of those cheapo stick-on cable management things. you can get the cable to stay exactly where it needs to be.

When my prints get stubborn on the build plate, I grab the flattest blade for my hobby knife, one where the tip is squared off, and that's where the razor edge is, and I gently press that under the raft, then I can slip my spatula in under the razor.

ACF does cost an arm and a leg, nfep is much more reasonable and sharp though. Also if you have a smooth plate you should be able to get anything off it easily if you sharpen the spatchula, etched build plates are a different story, I'm gonna sand my s3u plate smooth or get a flex plate because it's awful to remove prints.

You should get a flex plate. Then you won't have to hack away and potentially damage prints to get them off the build plate.

23:30 I find the best thing to do is not attack the print bed with a spatula, but to get my snips that I use for my filament printer or a pair of needle nose plyers and GENTLY grab a support near the edge of the base. I pull it a bit until I see the base lift a little bit from the build plate, then take plastic spatulas and push there. Once the vacuum is broken the part usually falls right off. No need to beat the build plate with the spatula (which is what I used to do too).

Great video mate! Instead of one video, this really could have been many (M5s Pro/ Resin Review, Model/ Support Review, Print and Paint, Discord reactions, etc.) Not saying you should break it up into as many 10 minute chunks as possible, but a couple of smaller videos might help with algorithm/ KZfaq points. Also, I see someone else posted that the resin is $61.5 US per kg, but AnyCubic does have a 5 for $200 bundle (so only $40 per kg), which makes this a lot more palatable. I mainly do FDM, and while I normally use ~$20 ABS, I have printed plenty of specialty filaments at that $40 per kg premium tier. Maybe a good video idea would be a shootout of some budget resins? I see some down at $15 per kg prices.

I think all you need for a good resin test is some table height drop tests. Trying with all your might to tear them apart might be a bit extreme. 😆

Positive comment for a positive bloke

This resin, in terms of toughness, looks to be about the same as regular ABS-Like. And if the price is significantly lower, that'd be awesome!

My build plate has loads of "character development" lol

The worst part of printing is that some resins fall apart if you look at them wrong. I've still yet to find a resin as strong as plastic in my country as I have a very limited selection.

Mate….. you’re an Aussie??!! Instant subscribed!! CBR here!!! lol

since you asked kindly I will enjoy this video

Here’s an idea for you! I have been cruising my mini factory and cults 3D and there are a tonne of files that look incredible but aren’t supported, are supported terribly or are scaled wrong. If someone was out there that could review files and print them to be able to see before purchase would be incredible.

That resin is a really good deal $61.50 for 3 1gk bottles I may try some, I've been buying siraya tech resin. I bought 2x 5kg bottles of ABS-like Fast resin navy grey on blackfriday, weirdly they didn't charge me tax, cost $255 flat, so waiting to burn through that.

Homie committed heresy when he said there wasn't a Vallejo Metal Color - Gold. It's the best one in the business!

@OnceinaSixSide the last shot of the AGN paintjob you thought the mech had been sitting for a while, but that's a technique usually used to convey stealth technology. notice the light blue energy effect at the separation between the paintjob and the texture paint!

Hey, cool relaxed video. Feels like hanging out with a pal.

hi James , Thanks very much for your order ... Hope you enjoy your new year ... Have a great week , happy ( something ) X I hope we can assist again soon... Daniel

Tape the cord for the heater to the printer base. Stupid you have to do it, but it will keep it lined up.

I think the "super rusty" legs one is actually active camouflage, but I'm not positive

I was incredibly disappointed when the printer didn’t warn me I didn’t have enough resin to finish one of the prints on the build plate, luckily the rest of the prints were fine.

Nice work; the clear resin looks great!

"gives you headpats"

Safety first, wear gloves. Mistakes and accidents DO happen.

Put little magnet slots in your bases like Raven Miniatures on mmf. Then they would be perfect.

Great video lost of user friendly info. As for the heater, I feel like it would be a bad thing having a heater draw power through the printer depending on how much it needs to draw considering it has it's own brick.

All those painted sentinels from the Discord server look so cool.

Great vid! The only issue I see with creators showcasing their models in your vids is that GW will use your them as a resource to target creators. I know everyone dumps on the plastic spatula but I find it works better than the metal scrapper. If you have a raft with an angled lip. The models just fall of the plate with very little force, bit of a wriggle side to side on the more stubborn rafts. That's my experience anyway. Maybe try it and see how it goes. Can't wait till that resin is available. Perfect for flight stands.

You are my favourite youtube creator :)

Loving the content!

For the heater, they should have put a USB port there and powered it through that, plus data.

I'm so impressed by the giant bases being that flat. HOW ! is it the resin ? The supports ? Both ?

What is it about Australian maker/crafter channels that you all seem like such lovely, conscientious and principled people? Channels like this, makers muse, miscast. I apologise for the parasocial outburst that might but I really appreciate the integrity, I know it costs something.

just discovered your channel, thanks for making this video, subbed and liked, those walkers looked awesome unpainted :O

Awesome vid man

Thanks again as always! Thanks for teaching me how to do resin 3d printing! (I even impressed my engineer friend lol) Do you happen to have an opinion on or an upcoming review of the Neptune 4 Pro?
