Nice job. I appreciate how you explain exactly what will be done and what to expect realistically. So many other videos tell you things like "Let's show you how to get a perfectly smooth finish with only a little sanding" and then halfway through they are talking about "So after filling and sanding 15 times all the way to 10000 grit we can still see some layer lines, but only minor ones". Thanks again.
Insanely good tutorial for this method. I am grateful you took the time to record this and put it together for everyone to learn. That bit in the middle about not needing things to be perfect and not stressing about trying to be perfect really spoke to me. I definitely get frustrated often when things aren't looking absolutely flawless and I can't make them look as good as I think I need to. Hearing that gave me some peace with feeling at ease that something I make is really good but not perfect. Love this video, 10/10.
This was a great tutorial! I'm just starting out in the 3D print world, and always appreciate when people take the time to break down steps and processes like this!
Got a lotta value out of this vid so I subbed. One suggestion for the metallic gloss would be to paint it black first than clear coat before the metallic gold for that real shine.
So I had painted this originally because I wasn’t gonna sand it or mess with it but I decided to used it as the example for the video. I would recommend sanding first that way your not using more paint than you need to and save on costs cause even with using a filler primer you may have some deep layer lines so I always sand first then go to to Bondo and Acetone then prime. I have not tried it on PETG or ABS but I’m sure you would have similar results but those 2 materials will take more work to sand as they are stronger and more heat resistant! Hope this helps!
I got the body filler bondo thinking I would use it for stuff like this. Pain in the butt to mix with the hardner. I then saw this existed. I KNEW it was gonna be perfect for 3D print! Nice video. Also, just a tip, paint gold over gloss black. It will pop WAY more. Painting directly on grey primer is going to dull it out a bit.
Yes when I was searching I stared with the hardener stuff it dries way to quick and is more of a headache than anything! Thanks for the tip and comment!
great video, a few grumbles from me, when doing the close up work on your camera work please. also, your tip on "if you mix it to thin it will be to thin" is kind of obvious lol keep it up, im learning so much
Random bondo problem to be aware of: i just printed a few lightswitch covers, and hit em with filler putty. They actually bowed after i added the bondo. It's never happened before, everything else ive used it on has been fine. Im guessing its the thinness of the part
@@blackc1479 they possibly bowed when the Bondo dries is shrinks could have pulled the two half’s closer not sure I’ve never had that issue thanks for the insight!
you'll learn that different viscosities work better for certain areas. I make it soupier for getting hard to reach areas, and much firmer for tops of armor, etc.
I lightly sanded the Bondo to achieve a smooth surface making sure there wasn’t any high spots rinsed the dust off and then primed you don’t have to go crazy when sanding the Bondo because it applies thin enough that it’s already pretty smooth and your gonna end up sanding the primer once you have primed it I prefer wet sanding working from about a 600 grit up to and 1500 after it’s primed that’s what I used to achieve the final result in the video I wouldn’t wet sand the Bondo I’d use a 220 grit to sand the Bondo it’s rough enough to take it off quick but you’ll have good control with how much your removing any lower and you might take off to much. Hope this helps
Nice video, I appreciated the commentary. Some constructive feedback, the mask after the Bondo and primer was still pretty blurry in the vid so I couldn't really tell the surface finish. Good vid otherwise and thanks for the info. :)
Hey, new to your channel, info seems great. one constructive criticism, background music is really distracting and seems like something that should accompany a kids show. Thanks for the great info.!
I enjoy the goofy it’s not meant to be taken too seriously hopefully I can get a laugh out of you and give you some good information Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
I love that you made a deal in depth tutorial for this, I see a lot of it online but not in depth on how to do it

Thank you for this awesome comment I truly hope the video helps!
It definitely has. Keep them coming!

dude, this is gold. I've been struggling with bondo for a few days now and this saved my projects haha
Absolutely loved your video, and I have watched a LOT of these. Tons of great info and you explained it really well. Thank you!

Thank you for your comment it means a lot!
Wow. This is game-changing for me! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
@@robertcalvert9607 glad I could help good luck with your creations
Thank you king, this was exactly the information I was looking for - appreciate your contribution to the community brother!
Another banger per usual
This one hit the mark as always!!!
Thank you that means a lot!
@@ImperfectBuilds keep the amazing/ informative videos coming 🙌🏾
Gloss black before the gold will make the gold pop 👍🏻
Nice work man.
Did you sand the bondo before priming?
Got a lotta value out of this vid so I subbed. One suggestion for the metallic gloss would be to paint it black first than clear coat before the metallic gold for that real shine.
Does priming before sanding make it sand better? Or did you for this just so we can see the results better? And will this work just as good for PETG?

Good job - thank you!
Great job man. I can use this technique in abs and pla?
I haven’t used it with ABS but I’m sure you can it’s same concept ! works great for PLA and PLA+
if your making a cosplay, do you have to put the bondo inside of the cosplay as well so there is no sharp edges?
@@Joezthepro I don’t do it on the inside you can add some padding but I have never had any issues
Should you wear a mask during the acetone and bondo stage, or just during sanding and spraying?
Definitely it is just hard to talk and explain with one and I have good ventilation in my garage I wasn’t to worried but always protect your self!
esa masilla no la encuentro en España, cual puedo usar aquí? saludos.
Big takeaway: dont make it too runny or its gunna be runny but its ok if it runs.. 😅😅😅
It’s may have got a little confusing there for a second 😂
Great vid!

keep it up, im learning so much
Great work! Did you sand after bondo just before you primed it?
Always sand after you bondo!
Acrylic spot putty shrinks. You will see in the print months later. Use polyester glazing putty instead. (Evercoat in the can)
Good info
great vid!
You don't need to mix a hardener with the putty?

Thank you for this! Can you share what percentage of acetone you used here, please? :))
No true measurement you want it to be a runny mud consistency not to thick or it will be chunky

@@davidgaston7334 very true
Did you prime it as soon as the bonds dried or did u sand it and THEN prime it?

TYSM! how do you ahve only 1k subs u deserv more
@@iGambitoi that means a lot thank you so much
I thought aceton melted or dissolved bondo? Would like to try if it really works
Great tutorial! Came from tiktok I’m Mario doing the Boba Fett Cosplay project.
Thanks Mario hopefully this helps you out can’t wait to see it finished!

I wonder what he’s printing in the background
Can I bondo a hole in my heart?
❤️🩹
Bondo? Red Putty?
Spot putty
i'm so worried for your lungs and your fingers 😅 you got the mask around your neck while applying bondo and 3d printers in the back.
My garage is open and I have a large fan venting off camera thank you for your concern!❤️ I usually wear my mask it’s just hard to talk with it on🫣
