I really appreciate your integrity in not trying to fly the "this is a sponsored video" bit under the radar but being totally forthright and saying "please consider this an advertisement". It doesn't lower my trust in this video and it does raise my trust in you. I will watch with interest.

The whole "cannot use 3rd party resins or slicers" is an absolute dealbreaker. I don't care if the product is otherwise solid gold value. If you sell me a product, I own it. I really don't appreciate every company looking up to the closed ecosystems and subscriptions of Apple, HP, and Peloton.

I gotta say. The fact that you do this KZfaq channel on the side makes the quality of the videos even more outstanding. I know KZfaq channels with way more subscribers who do KZfaq for a living and they don't put half as much effort in their videos as you do. Sersiously, I love everything about yours. The editing, the script, the overall style, all on point. Keep it up!

I'm laughing and glad you included the missteps. Most people just remove the "bad" sections but it does show a true aspect to this hobby.

Oof. I've had some extreme fears about my Rabbit getting gut stasis too. It's a terrifying thing. And him being an "exotic pet" puts his veterinary care well outside my resources. I'm glad you were able to get the care for your bun. And to curb any judgements a little. My rabbit came from outside my house because people in a neighboring apartment complex have a habit of just releasing domestic animals into the local park. And I think it'd be much crueler to leave them out there where they no longer belong. He was not a planned for pet.

I always appreciate your frank, open approach when something goes off the rail--even when it's self-induced. It's a great help to those of us just starting down this path! Great video. Thank you!

Great to see some transparency and honesty even in a paid video. Also very glad to hear you will have more content out soon.

Dust with baking soda before using cheap superglue. Works a charm

As a company who wants to go to a proprietary eco system, your price point has to beat out the competition. Otherwise it is a difficult get people to buy into an proprietary eco system. Basically you need to offer the same or more for less. Choice being a factor, people will tend to purchase non proprietary equipment within this market. This market is very price conscious and looking for the "best bang for the buck"

Love the Con: Brittle AF. That right there tells you this isn't really for table top. The fact he includes an example of breaking a gun piece with just a finger while holding a mini is the icing on the cake.

Like these guys already have a super expensive printer with expensive peripherals and now they have extremely expensive resin. ALMOST $100 usd PER 1 L bottle!! You are far better off getting a GKtwo for almost half the price of the Heygears and buying phrozen's $40 8k resin. Literally nothing about their products appeal to me as a home 3d printer and I can't imagine they appeal to the etsy/storefront printers. Too much overhead. They should honestly pick a lane of either sticking with "industrial quality" or actually looking at what drives the home miniature printer to print (Hint, most of us left GW because of their price model). If they actually want to break into the miniatures market (3d printing) than this is not the way to go about it. The main appeal of 3d printing to most is the price per model with customization as a close second. For the average 3d mini printer to really consider their device they need to do the following: 1. Release a cheaper "home grade" device (I think most home 3d printers will be willing to pay up to $700 for a really good home printer). 2. Get the price of that resin down. Most of my minis I can print with less than .25 cents of resin and Heygears is asking me to print with .50 -60 cents.

Heygears makes really good looking product and for someone that doenst have time to sink into learning the ins and outs of resin printing, it might be ideal. However for me its concerning to see that they are setting up an ecosystem in which you can only use their resin for their printers. It's a bit too apple/modern ink printer energy for my tastes.

I'm more of a proponent of the rule of 3 when it comes to islands that aren't necessarily holding a lot of the mini's weight. My feeling on supports is that heavies are there to keep the model from pulling off of the build plate, and should be kept to spots you'll never see on the model whenever feasible. Bottoms of feet, insides of cloaks, etc. Medium supports are there to make sure parts don't warp, and light supports are there to make sure islands print. Having islands be supported by multiple smaller supports rather than just increasing the weight of supports has led to the best results in my experience. It is more time-consuming though, and I'd be a liar if I said I haven't just boosted the weight of my supports plenty of times because I was tired of getting failures and I just wanted it done.

I don't know where this comparison is coming from or what it even means, but to me you are the hbomb of 3d printing ❤

I am getting a resin printer for Christmas and I just found your channel yesterday! The quality is amazing. The amount of effort you put into the videos is worth it!!!

Really good honest opinion related review. Appreciate the honesty from both the creator here and the sponsor!

I would like to see a deeper poke at the printer. It looks like a very complete system, but US$1,400 puts it above most hobbyist's budget.

Love TBO and the editing!

I live you videos man. So in depth and practical. You really focus on the end user experience. I would love to see a review of the hey gears printer and slicer.

love the integrity of your disclosures! its cool to see. Great Video man, merry xmas

"... if you dont wash your parts properly" made me giggle...

Have you considered using an accelerant with your super glue? It makes it bond in seconds instead of having to clamp and wait minutes or hours. Very effective and has been a game changer for me.

Why not use an accelerator spray for your super glue? Then you just hold it in place for a couple seconds and you're done.

yeeeeaaaahhhhh fuck no to the proprietary ANYTHING on 3d printers. keep this open and healthy.

Yeah $97 for a resin and I though the Phrozen stuff was was expensive here in AU lol. Great video mate really enjoyed it!

Great video. On the bunny, I used to think they were a weird thing to have as a pet - then we got one for the kids... So damn smart and social. I am glad everything worked out as they can be very delicate when they are unwell. And thanks for the entertaining content good sir.

I would like a independent video on hey gear. I think that would be amazing

His editing is awesome

With the promises of this thing I'd like an actual and factual proper showcase of the printer and washer

Glad to hear your bun is doing better. Also, good stuff about 3D printing or whatever.

KZfaq doesn't notify me when you're videos are posted until days later and it has me livid. Love the content.

I'm so happy the bunny is okay 🐇❤️

I was waiting for the "sir" guy to say something everytime he appeared.

You should definitely print some dark techno miniatures from “the makers cult” their priests, teslarite channellers/converters(electropriests), battle thralls(servitors) and Isopodis transport is some of the best proxies in the industry arguably better than GWs sculpts. You should also check out their mantis pattern strider. The best ironstrider proxy!

Great video, you managed to pack in loads of detail and keep it entertaining. Thanks

I'm loving the StationForge space rats and chaos pigs!

I have been subbed to stationforge for a long time. The sculpts and variety are excellent. I do have to resupport everything I want to print though

Look at this production value😱

Amazing production as always dude. Keep the awesome videos coming!

oh damn, love the language in this! ;)

As soon as I saw the resin container, I knew it would be EXACTLY like Canon printers where no other product will work with it. The "proprietary" resin container is a huge deal breaker for me.

Bought the Grimguard Heavy Artellirely files from Station Forge few months ago. Needless to say never have I been so disappointed in presupported files...

5 minutes cure time is insane. Most things I print get 30 sec to 1 min per side.

5 minute cures for miniatures is probably your issue. I've "heard' that over 2 minutes for a 28mm figure is overkill and makes them too brittle, but I've never really tested it myself.

Always love your stuff man, but you NEED to get some CA Glue and Zap Kicker :) Game changer! Good to hear about the new editor

interested in seeing a more in depth review of Hey Gears. liked their feeedback to you

I exclusively use the Countdown superglue you used in the video and for a Gell Superglue its one of my favourites

Shoutout to the Woolies select super glue 😂

There is no better miniature resin than Siraya Tech Build. Keep your temps above 25Deg C and you are good to go.

Video alright, Wabbit betterer 😆🤩 ( Seriously though, thanks for another great video mate!)

Yes please on a video on the Heygears Ultra. Fauxhammer said the slicer's supports function was really great but you're saying it's as terrible as the rest, would be good to know why (I trust you're opinion). I'm really shit at supports and really want a slicer that will do it well. All of the other quality of life features sound really good too. Wonder if someone has found a way to use a cheap resin with it (I.e. Sunlu)

Oh you can keep usng the same alcohol mix with no problem :-) put some into a container you do not care about (put it in a UV chamber and all of that resin will cure go to the bottom then can filter it out and should be perfect :-) its a great way to save money also if the price of Alcohol goes up just get methylated spirits it is the same stuff it is like 97% but it has some dyes in it and another chemical to stop people from using it for drinking!! (it makes you get sick) its used in construction usually painters it is dirt cheap. I get it because its hard to get alcohol were I am and if you do its very expensive like 2-4 times the price of methylated spirits that does the same job.

You should review the GK2 if you get a chance. Has similar QOL improvements as the UltraCraft Reflex but cheaper.

Amazing video! I stumbled upon our channel a few days ago and loving the content. I am thinking of getting into 3D printing and was wondering if you would do a sort of intro video for new people in the 3D space. What printer/resin would you recommend for newcomers with this year's new advancements with maybe a for best bang for your buck for a tabletop gamer & painter type and a best in class for tabletop gamer & painter type with possible newcomer friendliness tier as well depending on machine software ? I don't know just doing a wishlist at this point haha. Great content and merry Christmas since it's that time of the year.

I use auto supports on chitubox and had almost always success. I don't have a clue of supporting minis

smashed it again dude keep up the good content

Great video! As for super glue, have you considered a clear resin and a UV flashlight to cure?

What if you used an FDM printer, to print a jig for large parts, to hold them together while they're being glued?

The Heygears equipment looks amazing but it's so pricey for me, especially since I'm just starting with an Anycubic Photon Mono 2 And I just bought my first Station Forge files, can't wait to print them myself

$65 US is almost 3 times what i pay for my current resin.

Damn, there goes the wifi router!

watching your videos recently, as i just got into WH40k with some buddies that we do TTRPG's normally. I have been thinking about getting into resin printing/designing terrains, characters etc for the TTRPG that the one guy in our group has been writing and working on for the past 30 years. Your videos have been very helpful with understanding the process of printing. But would you be doing a video in the near future on a good starter setup/ what Printer you would start with and what other little odds and ends you may need to get things rolling. (UV lamps, 3d builder software, etc etc) Or do you have any recommendations on good in depth reliable sources on where to start? Thanks and keep up the awesome videos.

I subscribe to station forge, and I love their sculpts, but by GOD does their files need to be organized. For the mobile artillery model everything is mixed together and there is no part list (aka, if you use the artillery print parts 1 and 2, if you are using the missiles, print parts 3 and 4, etc). Made getting the file started confusing and took longer than needed

I know it's not your focus, but I wonder if you'd go over how supports need to change when you rescale minis. I game in 15mm and since the market tends towards 28 (really 32 now) I have to rescale a lot of files. Presupports don't really mean much to me if they become useless when shrunk 60%. Also a bottle of glue accelerant is your best friend, especially with fiddly little pieces like that ammo belt on the skimmer.

$4k for a system is something I can't afford. I'll just stay with My FDM.

wait, the printer costs $1,400?? a Saturn 3 12k is a thousand dollars cheaper???? that "ooh its great for beginners who don't want to mess with settings" marketing surrounding this printer seriously needs to go away cus clearly, my man Once in a six's stuff was worst than the company vids so...? yeah no way a beginner should buy this thing. its too expensive and it STILL needs a fine touch to get right like very other printer.

Looking a bit more into this company, they seem to be aimed at healthcare specialists, specifically dental and prosthetics. Their website and bio-compatible resin line heavily implies this. My guess is that they made using this printer so "dummy proof" as they expect those who aren't use to the technology to use it. Also makes it easier for the help desk to provide aid when issues arise due to everything involved being their products. I would avoid them as a hobbyist/miniature maker, but might be worth keeping an eye on if you are in the involved in the healthcare sector.

I'm honestly confused as to how you have so many complications when printing. I guess I'm incredibly lucky that printing has been pretty much plug and play for me. Hope this didn't come off as criticism cus I love your channel.

17:25 The resin reminds me of Anycubic wax-like. great detail but breaks if you set it down too fast.

I have a burning question that I have been asking myself for a while now. I'd like to print Knights and Titans. I have a resin printer, but not a PLA printer. In your opinion, is it worth it to get a PLA printer for larger projects?

Why did they only bother making a profile for one layer height

I like the models from station forge but i always have an issue with their supports and scale of their models, the grimguard heavy tank and battle tank are no where near the scale they should be for the models they are obviously proxies for so I have to waste time getting them to the right scale before I can start printing. I have done three prints of the heavy tank just to get it close to the right size

My mums rabbit has had that guy stasis a few times. Gets very expensive but she did tell me something that helped with it but I can’t remember what it was, I’ll find out

I have been using the sunlu abs like resin and its amazing you should try it

By the looks of it the Resin does look Brin. The 2 videos they sent you. The one that really bent was a model. That is going to just have greater Beta potential because of the way it's kind of structured. I mean, what the guy was messing with the tongue. You didn't reallydelete bendit anywhere near as much as you dare do that tower. But honestly it looks halfway decent again.I'm not sure about the price i've seen a b s Like resin that seems to do a far more thorough job of being terrible in impact resistant

the pap10 resin and its menu in the slicer has been there and on there store since the printer shipped. i just yesterday tried to order some pap10 resin to find out the site wouldnt deliver it to my address, but is fine shipping other resins to me

Ah basically Jawas

praise to omnissiah

I've been searching through your stuff trying find out what those drainable buckets that you have are called. Does anyone know? Also, do you have any recommended items for resin 3d printing?

Does Low Odor mean safer or are you stilll in terrible danger if you smell it? One of the biggest thing that keeps me from 3D printing is how toxic and dangerous it is

Stationforge supports have never worked for me. there upgraded grimguards are over the top and suck the models off the beds all the time!

Hey bud great video as always! Have you tried CA Accelerator spray when assembling? Makes superglue instantly bond its fantastic

I really like your content and your approach but your FDM printed bases give me the heebie geebies. What are you printing them on?

How does it work with holes in the build plate?

5 minutes cure time for such small miniatures is way too much, that's why they were so brittle

What are those boxes called that you use to change the isopropyl alcohol?

Will this resin work well wirh my uniformation gk2?

I watched your first video two days ago, and that's when I realized how bad pre-supported models are. Since then, I've rate two creators at MINIRATER (I have it open as I'm writing this), "Flesh of gods miniatures" and "Claymore miniatures". I gave both of them a B (Claymore miniatures would get even worse if I could). My rating has being added but it doesn't show at the google sheet. I hope I did everything right. Edit: What's the music at 3:30 called?

why in the world are you going crazy gluing the parts with superglue only? don't you know about baking soda + superglue?

Great video. Could the issue with your bunny's gut been from eating the Heygears box? Maybe you should be blaming Heygears? I enjoy all your uploads and you are entertaining and I never lose interest as I watch.

Station forge files are absolute dog tamer. Never ever have I printed a stationforge presup file sucessfully. And I overexpose AFTER calibrating for tensile strength

maybe the brittle aspect is due to an overexposing ? I know you know your shit but maybe this resin need a less longer curing time idk

5 minute cure time?!? Dude, ANYTHING is going to be brittle is you cure it for 5 minutes. Do a new video on the best table top resin and test out different cure times for all of them.

hey maybe you should not let your pet eat cardboard. that thing is full of glue and chemicals.

in order to really understand what you're getting at here, i need to know whether your fragile prints were a fluke, or the norm. cause their video and your video simply do not look like the same resin.

yeah pretty awful advert. no thanks

Here man, build up a base of non sponsored critique before you start taking the cash. I know it's tempting, but the ratio is off on your content. You're more an infomercial than anything else at this point.
