I've been doing this with regular injection molded plastic models for decades. learned the trick from Dave Merriman when I lived in Virginia Beach. I haven't done the airbrushing, but I have been brushing on thinned glazing putty to fill seams and gaps. I use a product called Nitro-Stan instead of Bondo glazing, but Bondo will work also.

I've got another option people can try as well. I've been using Evercoat Featherfill G2 Primer for quite some time now, works in pretty much the same way. It fills layer lines, gives a well bonded hard surface that is easily sanded and takes any paint you want to use on top of it. I used it, or similar products for many, many years for other work projects, model building, and to help fill tooling marks from fabrication on a variety of materials. I carried it's usage over to my 3D printing obsession a handful of years ago and it's all I use now. It makes sense that the spot putty works well, since once it's thinned it works like a high build primer/filler/surfacer when sprayed onto a 3D print. Featherfill is expensive at $125/gallon now (used to be about $75 just a year ago), but it goes a LONG way when airbrushing especially when thinned down. It does also come in quarts if you need less.

Great idea! I use this stuff already along with rapid build primer to smooth my sla prints and turn them into mould masters for casting, but I never thought of spraying it. The bondo spotting putty is so "dusty/dry" when sanding, it's really nice to work with. I've tried other solutions but most of them are "gummy" when you try to sand them. Great video!

Ex autobody guy here. Don't use single stage solvent based fillers. They will continue to off-gas and the material will shrink over time. Your print lines can return weeks or months later and ruin your otherwise perfect topcoat. It's not much different than shrinking joint compound when refinishing and painting a wall.

@shawnhicks619 Жыл бұрын
I think what he’s saying is to use regular 2 part bondo, but the thing is that all fillers tend to shrink over time to varying degrees. But I think your applying this in such thin amounts the shrinkage will be negligible. One thing I would do if using this process, which is what I do when using glazing compound already, is wait a day before you primer it so that it off gasses plenty before you seal it in. May not matter when you consider the tiny amount on there but I’ve not had any issues so far of layer lines showing up later, at least not yet.

I believe it was recommended to use a gravity fed airbrush for this process. You used a siphon airbrush. I wonder how different the results were between both types.

Honestly I seen no difference in using the gravity. They definitely make ones with larger reservoirs vs siphon receptacles but you don’t want to go crazy with large amounts of acetone. Small amounts of acetone especially when exposed to UV light are extremely volatile & less dangerous. So on a safety scale anything around 35ml or less is better.

@b-roll4881 2 жыл бұрын
@unclejesey. I like this idea. It reminds me of how I use to smooth old plaster walls with heavy textures. I am a drywall taper of 26 years. I specialized in restoration of vintage homes. We would trowel on the first 2 coats then spay thin mud on to fill pin holes and the like. But we did not sand the first 2 coats, we would scrape the high spots. So this raises the question of why you don't use scrapers at the start to knock down the high ridges of layer lines. I believe that it would greatly reduce the filling and sanding. Cabinet makers have been doing this for centuries. It reduces the risk of making the harder wood grain to ridge up. A set of cabinet scrapers are cheap. I don't 3d print, yet. So it would be a interesting idea to try out for a video as a finishing video related to this video. 🤔 Keep up with your awesome work. You are definitely the resin printer king 🤴 👏. Cheers for now from Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 👍 😀 👏
@shawnhicks619 Жыл бұрын
Having a set of scrapers should be in everyone’s toolbox that is 3D printing however it’s not always neccisary to scrape your parts. The idea here is to speed up the process. This method coupled with filler primer goes a long way in speeding up and reducing sanding time. 3D printing is already slow if you have a Cartesian printer at 60-80 mm per second, a bit faster if you have a flsun super racer 200 mm per second and ever faster still if you have a Bambu labs x1 carbon 300-500 mm per second, but even then many of these parts eat a lot of time just printing, then more time tediously sanding. With intricate detailed models, like the interior of the mask he used, it’s almost impossible to sand. Sand blasting with walnut media will reduce detail more then the method used in this video. Like with all things 3D printed it’s a trade off. Certainly another tool for the toolbox, but not for every build.

As usual, your video’s are awesome. Thank you! Personally, what I do is Elmer’s Wood Filler - water it down then paint it on the model. Wait for it to dry, then sand back. Layer lines disappear. For a piece that’s glued to another piece - Elmer’s Wood Filler (not watered down) applied to the gap - again, sand down, and the gap disappears (as long as you apply it properly). Thank you again for your awesomeness.
@SuperMakeSomething 2 жыл бұрын
Awesome video! Since you already have the compressor setup, a good way to sand the backside might be to use a sandblaster or other abrasive media like walnut shells. Harbor Freight sells a chamber for this to recycle the media, but you can also do it open air if you don’t mind losing the abrasive after using it once. I have been wanting to try it, but have not yet been able to make the space in my house! Might be a great way to get consistent sanding quickly and to smooth out high detail areas!

I appreciate your take on this method and construction of the video. Firstly that you cover safety, PPE, and realistic cost. Second that you actually titled the video appropriately and didn’t allude to some new and better method. It’s just you. Spraying some bondo. With that, I feel like this is literally just a can of spraypaint filler primer with WAY more steps lol 😂 that you still have to sand down anyway.

Thanks for interjecting about the use of Acetone and ventilation. I'll add to that, though. Be EXTREMELY careful when using fans for ventilation. Acetone WILL EAT the plastic coating on wiring. We had a garage explosion here in KC a few years ago that set fire to the house. Even though the guy was using a gigantic floor fan for ventilation, the fan shorted and vapor/particulates in the garage space blew up, according to the report from the fire department. Just be aware and be careful.

@@UncleJessy Dude, you do great stuff. I'm the son of a fireman and I've built plenty of DIY spray booths myself. As long as people understand how over-spraying works, what they are spraying, and how flammable particulates are common sense goes a LONG way. The explosion was not far from my house and on a busy street, when it happened there were lots of questions as to what caused the explosion. The same goes for woodworking dust collection. Sawdust generates a lot of static electricity so collectors and their ducts get grounded with copper wire. Keep cranking out the good stuff!

Coming from an ex-body man, that putty is virtually a thick primer. Although acetone will work, lacquer thinner would probably work better. The problem with this method is the material (putty/primer) will shrink over time, which eventually all the lines and flaws you are trying to cover will start to show through six months to a year later. To eliminate this altogether, I would recommend a catalyzed primer from an automotive paint supplier, which is typically a two-part mix. It might get a little pricey just to forewarn you, but it will probably sand much better than Bondo and give better results. JMO.

But I appreciate your video on the subject, I certainly list you as the expert when it comes to 3D print stuff.

Yeah, A LOT of cons on this one. For sure won’t be doing it with every project but maybe for some of my larger print projects

Acrylic putty/plastic putty is water soluble, so it might make sense to try thinning that with water for this.

Duplicolor's filler primer takes about an hour or two, but sanding it can be a real pain because some of the material tends to stay in the sand paper and clogs it up; does that happen with this method as well? (I do use spot putty to fill gaps and see it doesn't, but I haven't covered large areas)
@UncleJessy 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I see that as well with primer/filler this def clogs up the sandpaper but no where near as much as when I use the primer/filler

@@UncleJessy cool, some time I'm going to try it, as I have a big tube of green spot putty from 3M which I'm pretty sure It will last a LONG time if using it just to plug holes

Have you ever tried airbrushing resin to smooth FDM prints?

If you are going to spray it then why not use high build primer? Feather fill

what about using "spray putty (motip)" in a spray can? no cleaning and no mixing.....

I wonder if I could use this method with the 3M AcryliGreen spot putty... Looks freaking awesome to do

It’ll work, acrylgreen is just pricey!

Hi uncle Jessy, love your channel and your guides are alway helpful. I’m in the uk and bondo is harder to come by. Can you make any other suggestions to use as a filler (dosent have to be sprayed)?

is there a way to use a safer material than acetone like water or alcohol?
@adamfilip Жыл бұрын
have you tried a metal card scraper instead of sand paper. I find it works really well on flat surfaces

id be curious to see how this goes up against some filler primer
@UncleJessy 2 жыл бұрын
I would imagine they are pretty similar results. One bonus of the bondo is that it seems to dry really fast compared to the primer filler which can take a while

Where did you find mixing cups that you can safely use acetone in?
