Yup, should work the same.

Ya. It was close but not quite right.

Awesome. 👍🏻

Well I guess you won’t be smoothing any prints :) Just like how death and taxes are inevitable, so is sanding if you want to smooth 3d prints.

Spray is more convenient and when it dries doesn’t brush off as easy. But the results are pretty much the same.

I just didn’t powder it properly. It’s also where I grabbed it to flip it over and I think I wiped some of the powder off in the process. When scanning it’s mistakes like this that cost you a lot of time fixing in post :) You really need to check and double check all the small details during the scanning process

Well that could be a video on its own and not really the focus of this video. Also there are way better channels out there specifically for 3d sculpting :)

@@DaveRigDesign possibly true, but I think making a video of your whole process like you have but include how you use nomad sculpt would be great and complement everything. I think this would be great especially for new users like myself.

I just uploaded a part 2 video yesterday with some tips and tricks on scanning kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i551mZl1rN_Vqpc.html I show how to scan a complete object to print with no cleanup needed. Might me something your interested in

@@DaveRigDesign nice, thank you sir.

lol, thanks :)

Between each coat when sanding you are removing the paint from the high spots and leaving it in the ridges. So each coat you should be sanding less off. You should also be sanding with 240 grit and just making it smooth. If you sand too much you will take all the paint off and go all the way down to the print

@@DaveRigDesign im using 240 grit. I’m putting barely any pressure. And just going over the entire print and it seems to begin coming off everywhere as I go.

If it’s coming off in chunks or pealing off then the primer isn’t sticking to the print for some reason. If that’s the case you’ll want to take it all all and while down the print with alcohol to make sure there are no oils or contaminates on it before spraying again. If it’s sanding properly like a powder then you either need thicker coats or to not sand as hard. Also if you sand it before it’s fully dried it will scratch off easily and smudge and really gum up the sandpaper.

Thanks 🙏 I recently made a similar video trying different materials that may also interest you.

Usually resin is brittle but that’s where they are fully resin. This thin a coat should be fine. Not sure what the heat handling is but I would expect it to be higher than ASA

Your welcome :)

Stock firmware. Washers were 3mm I think cuz that’s what I had. I needed to drill them out a bit to fit the screws. 4mm may be a proper fit

The resin is white also. But when it’s put on so thin it’s translucent. Go watch the full video to see all the details.

The can doesn’t rotate smoothly. A shaking motion develops because it is not balanced. Here’s Adam savage talking about it on Tested kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbl4ZM2Enqyxk4U.html

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

Ya you can get the same results with just primer. You just need to do more sanding on the pla and wait longer for each coat of primer to dry. There is some question of shrinkage when drying when filling such large gaps with paint but may not be an issue.

That's a lot of primer. But true. U would probably only need 2 coats of 2k. To get the same results u got here. Probably 10 or 15 coats of rattle can primer. But if there is a will there is a way. I remember using 2 cans of primer on a helmet, I knew there had to be a better way 😂🎉.

I don’t think so? Should have any effect on the curing. I’ve seen people use this for creating fiberglass molds.

@@DaveRigDesign thanks! I’m going to try it out. I’ll let you know how it goes

Thanks 🙏

Sanded to 220, then prime and sanded with 220 and 400 after that

You could add pigment or just use colours resin. But the layers are so thin it would be somewhat transparent and show the underlying service. For curing you can just use a UV hand held light. I have a few videos on my channel using this method on bigger prints and use a hand held light

@@DaveRigDesign awesome thank you so much! would adding pigment make the resin thinner? (I dont know much about resin printing I only have FDM)

@codyabdullah I don’t think adding pigment would have much effect on the thickness. You could add a clear resin over a print you don’t sand. You would see the layer lines underneath but you can buff the resin to a mirror finish on top for a super smooth candy coating :) Possibly also add glitter to give a metallic clear coat effect.

I started with 120 and later used 220. Wet sanding is 400

​​@@DaveRigDesignnot watching a long monetized video. Thanks. I initially said layer lines suck, 3d printing still sucks and you had a virtual meltdown saying I was dropped on my head, that I'm stupid, etc etc.....your defending your position because its easily attacked.

Cool then you can spend $1m getting dies made for injection molding and wait 6mths and hope you don’t need to modify the part or you have to start over. Or contract a print farm to start making parts a day or two after they get the model and updating the production line is as easy as updating the CAD file. No one create there own injection molding factory to make parts so why would they start their own print farm, although they could if they wanted to, not an option for injection molding. Commercial 3d printing is always happening and only growing

​@@DaveRigDesignyeah, good luck with your opinion. I'm not paying millions for injection molding or any of the stuff you mentioned. 3D printing has not taken off like people expected, its parallel is solar panels.....so I think 3D printing is here to stay, but its gonna drag out for another 10 years hopefully sooner before it takes off.....maybe 5? Good luck.

​@@DaveRigDesignI look at the demographics, and past performance. Most 3D print companies fail. I think 3D printing is great for cool tech stuff, metamaterials, nasa, hobbies, proryping etc....just easier more reliable ways to make high roi. I watched your video and saw that layer lines are still an issue.....I will wait another 5 years. Funny how every 3D print hobbies is monetizing videos, patreon, Facebook, etc because they are not actually selling 3D prints....its not viable.

Pipe clamp*

With 3D printing you can create products that can not be manufactured any other way. Also most printing is done with PLA which is an organic plastic made from starch which bio degradable. Injection molding which is how most plastic products are made use ABS or other oil based plastics. So regarding it being a world killer, the internet exists, please use it.

@@DaveRigDesign wow, look up PLA its not as friendly as you think. Manufacturing it has issues, the biodegradable factor pollutes the environment as well. You are biased and wrong. And your video is a terribly long workaround for a sucky issue with layer lines.

@@DaveRigDesign "PLA is an industrial bioplastic. It is made from corn or sugarcane grown with intensive agricultural practices, which contribute to ecological issues such as deforestation, water pollution, soil degradation, and loss of biodiversity"

@@DaveRigDesign "Analysts have even estimated that a PLA bottle could take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill, and if that isn't bad enough, as it decomposes it releases methane - a gas 23 times more potent than Carbon dioxide"

@user-lj4iv8tf9i how environmentally friendly is the phone you are typing on right now?

How expensive is it?

Hahahahhahaha If I wanted to censer your comments I would have just deleted it instead of pointing out you’re mistaken.

​​@@DaveRigDesignyou trying to make profit from 3D printing on patreon, Twitter, youtube, etc etc. Thats your gig. You are biased and too sensitive. Stop attacking people's comments because you don't like them. That's bad business!!!!!

Average ender 3 user

Awesome. Glad I could help. I just made a new video testing hangers printed in different materials that you may want to check out also.

Cool story :)

@@DaveRigDesign facts. Layer lines. Wasted pla dumps. Long print times. Failure rates. Cost per print. Its a fantasy right now, maybe in 10 years it will work....just like solar panels suck.

Were you dropped on your head as a child? People are 3D printing houses, boats, rocket engines. But ya, it’s never going to catch on, just like the internet is a fad… lol

@@DaveRigDesign wow, personal insults because of my opinion. I just think it still sucks, and I stated why. So, you go off and insinuate that I'm stupid, or brain damaged and then lie about my comments saying I think its a fad.....just wow.

@@DaveRigDesign guess I will just report your channel.

It’s not like it’s a chalk board :)
