You did great but there is always room for improvement!! P.S I love your channel and you have such amazing creativity that a lot of the time you channel into real life practicality!!!
Layers and layers and more layers! Adding the dots was a good idea, but if you wanted to hide the rough edges even more, it's good to put some dots on the line itself
Nice job. Both models are very fine. I thought first the "original" was a plushy thing. Next time you print 2 halves, you may remove the bottom part in the slicer, just print the perimeter and internal infill. Then sand the bottoms on an plane surface, so you can have an almost invisible minimal gap when glued. Maybe you can cut the part with an extra 0.5 mm on each so you can sand the 0.5mm to an almost perfect joint (easily done in Prusa Sli3er). Voilà, waiting for your next bee-deo
some kid in my school just got a 3D printer and we spent about five minutes just talking about your videos 😂. I don’t own a 3D printer but I love watching your videos
I use wood filler for my figures too. One tip, depends on your wood filler, you can thin it with water and make it viscous enough brush or even dip the figure. Let it dry, sand and redo it until satisfied. Also, your channel and videos are what tip me over and made me seriously considering getting a 3d printer.
If you wanna split a model to make it easier to print, I suggest modeling some holes and pins in it to get it aligned. It helps to hide the seam, so if you're doing something like painting it, you don't have to worry about it. I've done it before with a little Kirby I gave my girlfriend for her birthday and the seam was pretty much invisible!!
I have bought a vr headset, and I was wandering wich vr sculpting pogram is better: kodon or gravity sketch. Maybe you can make some rejected animals in VR😀
Oh sorry I forgot to answer your question 😅. I prefer gravity sketch but the two are quite different. Kodon is more similar to sculpting clay, rather than just drawing in 3D space
This is probably the most informative and straightforward finishing/painting 3D prints video I've seen, and I've been looking for vids like this for yearss
I always was told to use Bondo...I'm going to try Woodfill for my next big print, because the Bondo...is cracking like crazy, eats my sanding blocks, and is impossible to lay thin layers with.
@@NikkiTheOtter I use my fingers to lay it on thinly. I’ve used wood filler a few times now and just don’t like it. XTC-3D plus bondo is my way to go 😊
Well if you really want to get into it, airbrushing would be the way to go. But in case you want to keep it sort of basic, you can use multiple watered down layers of paint (let them thoroughly dry before painting the next one) and fine sand afterwards. Or do the same as you already did, but fine sand it after a couple of layers.xD The wood filler suggestion is a great idea, thanks.:)
13:09 you don't need expensive acrylic to paint good, if you have brush strokes you can use 2000-3000 grit sandpaper and lightly sand away the brush layers until smooth and even, it will take time but it means you can continue on a budget
Practice using "washable" kid's pints that will come off by soaking the figure. Clear satin or matt overcoat when done. Then when you have the techniques figured out for getting a good looking figure, start using the acrylics that do not wash off.
try XTC 3D its an "auto"-leveling 3d print filler. great if you sand a bunch before, then use it, then do a very light finishing sand (with mesh or scotchbrite). also when using this stuff, don't go heavy handed. Makes an amazing finish if done correctly for spray painting after, your models look almost injection modeled after
Love the shark my dude! I just discovered your channel tonight, thanks to TIPPY TREE! Have you approached any BIG/ Established game companies...MILTON BRADLEY, HOLLAATCHA BOY!
Matte clear coat always clouds things up and my colors always get pastel-ized... I just use gloss now for spray. Clear coat also comes in a can, and if i apply the canned version very watered down and light, i acheive a more matte protection!
Every youtube video has an insane amount of sanding and priming. It'd be great if someone just did a ''so you wanna paint something quick as hell? gotcha'' video lol
for the love of god please dont mix paints with the brush ;-; also watering down acrylic paint and doing a buunch of thin coats make it look super smooth and store bought.
Definitely use an acrylic medium and not just plain water - you'll maintain the sticking power and texture of the acrylic that way, it makes SUCH a difference!
Lots of comments here so I bet someone already said this. Wood filler shrinks when the moisture dries out of it. So your print dryer did its job. My tip is to put on more than you need. Don't smooth it when it is wet as it will shrink. Some brands of fillers shrink less than others when drying. Thanks for the video!
16:26 I do something similar when I blend my (digital) artwork. I used to use this program that was for note taking, so I would draw in the pen tool, and use the two colors in highlighter, the, example, black highlighter on the grey section, and a white highlighter on the black (bad example)
Protip: Try diamond or triangular angled indentations on one half the printer can handle making, then reflecting those shapes on the other half to insert into. Makes for 100% perfect alignment, usually.
Nice videos, thanks. But you seem to be using some really expensive items! The Einscan scanner is $2500!!! Any recommendations for cheaper options for 3D scanners for us normal people? Thanks.
People are using the new iphones and samsung phones to 3D scan. Technically not cheaper but maybe you already know someone that has one. You can also use Meshroom(free) and any camera and use photogrammetry instead
@@make.anything Appreciate the quick reply. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, so I'll have to search around a bit and see if it's capable with the right app. I'll also look into Meshroom. Appreciate the info. Might be worth doing a video on these cheaper scanning options combined with more post processing fun. Love your work, please keep it up! Thanks.
I use 3DF Zephyr for 3d scanning along with my phone. and it's free :) Edit: thanks for hearting, I just want to say I love Makers Muse and Make Anything videos! And I could be wrong but I think you inspired me to get a 3D pen
Not a rejected animal, but I think it would be really cool if you 3D scanned and 3D printer your old create your dream model, the Llama riding on your back, if you don’t remember, I would love to print that!
I've done a lot of painting on my 3d prints. I find it very helpful to use a hairdryer in between coats to speed things along. This is especially helpful when printing on very small things that contain many colors like miniatures for dnd. Just be careful not to overhead the plastic and warp your pieces of course! ;p
hey devon !! just wanna tell u that i dont have a 3d printer or pen, don't plan on ever buying one and ure the only 3d printing channel i watch. so...just know ure entertaining and interesting enough to keep someone like me watching for about 2 years !!
Great video as always! Your Rejected Animals reminds me an italian book written by Stefano Benni titled "Stranalandia". It tells the story of a zoologist stranded on an imaginary island (Stranalandia) full of super weird animals. He describes them with funny illustrations (similar to yours) and hilarious descriptions. Unfortunately, I don't think there's an english version of the book...
For when you tried to dry your Shark in your machine and the crack came back (where the wood filler had it filled in) my best guess is that it wasn't your pieces that shrank. I believe Wood filler is used to fill in wood cracks, because it can move and warp with wood; since wood does shrink and expand on it's own, in certain climates and temperatures. Meaning, heads up, that crack may come back if your piece isnt kept in a controlled temperature environment. Hopefully, this won't be the case. Loved the video still and, regardless of the hurdles, you did an awesome job!
I bought the 3D Systems Sense 3D Scanner, I've recently been scanning friends heads, printing, moulding, casting and painting them. I sometimes use resin casting in conjunction with my 3d printed parts to create things not possible with just a printer alone. I didn't have a 3d printer a year ago, now I have 2 (and a broken, yet to be fixed Fabrikator Mini V2) Videos like your's have helped me along the way, and enabled me to learn to use things like Fusion 360, so thanks (y)
I've als painted a model with acrylic paint, i got rid of the paint brush inperfections by using a foam brush, and by fingerpainting some areas. Used high gloss varnish on mine, I didn't got the cloudiness, but it still came out a bit funky looking
I really think that what the varnish did was really interesting. How it made it cloudy and such. But what i love the most is the fact that it gave the piece some extra character. Overall a Great wide shark
Hey man thanks for the video I always thought about painting printed objects and now this video just randomly pops up! Just a random question what is that poster in your background and why is there the Switzerland flag in the centre? :DD Thanks for the video ! Thumbs up.
You’re technically not supposed to use your bare hands with plastic wood (wood filler), but I’ve done this quite a lot myself without any noticeable ill effects. On _very_ extended projects where I’m applying stuff near constantly over the course of hours I’ve felt some funny tingles or itchiness in the past. But that’s probably in part due to rubbing my fingers over bare, rough wood, the texture of the stuff as it dries and a bit of hypochondriatic placebo effect. XD
I know you have more crafting and making techniques than most need, but you might think about branching out into airbrush. Joe the 3D Maker Noob is really good at it, and it seems amazing for models. It's a bit beyond me, but you'd probably do amazing stuff with it.
Nice job. I use the same paints. Bought the 36 pack of variety paints for $20 or so Michael's rocks! they usually have decent affordable variety brush packs too. I think it was 20 assorted brushes and a plastic pallet knife for $7. On sanding, my mom used to manage a small craft store and she brought home a flexible foam sanding pad set that was fantastic for forming to odd shapes and crannies as well as nooks. I keep a small 6" USB desk fan for drying layers faster so I'm not waiting so long between coats.
3:22 - As soon as I heard 'no way to print without a lot of support material' I was thinking 'Cut the shark in half! CHOP IT UP' and boom the shark was cut up. I would've went further tho and cut the tail off and used support material to ensure it maintained it shape!
So the thing with acrylics is that there will always be brush strokes, no matter the price. You just have to use A LOT of watered down coats to get things smooth. If you don't want your paint apps to be messy, try using enamel paints. That's what model hobbyists use.
To save lots of time (and dust) when sanding the wood filler, use a wetted tool (palette/putty knife, finger, even paintbrush) on the filler before it starts to skin. You can smooth out an awful lot and save on quite a bit of sanding. You can even make a wash/slurry for light filling of layer lines.
The brush strokes come from your paint being thick. Never use it straight out of the tube, thin it down with a little water and you'll get less visible brushstrokes. Thin, multiple coats are what you want. The price of the paint doesn't matter.
If you watered down that black a LOT, it would have made great shadows around the teeth, making them pop. It’s called a wash, and really adds depth to painted models.
Here’s a tip: get cheap acrylic paint and mix it with more expensive, really good quality gesso. Mix a little bit of gesso into the paint. Brush strokes are not as visible
those stickers look so nice. too bad the shipment to germany costs more than the pack itself (13$).... if you maybe instead of making them a pack of 5 different stickers oyu made the option to pick 5 of the same sticker maybe then it would be a better option.
I had the same exacto knife kit from my local hardware store and it wasn't really good at all. The holders broke pretty fast and the blades were dull after using them thrice. Can't recommend
Acrylic paint is so good, it's cheaper than something like enamel or oil paints, easy to use, you don't really need some weird toxic solvent to use it, and it looks good, but it doesn't stick to stuff like plastic, although if you do a thick coat it's so satisfying to peel it off
Ok guys, I lied a little bit. I've spray painted plenty of models, but this is my first go at *hand* painting. How did I do? Tips?
You did great but there is always room for improvement!!
P.S I love your channel and you have such amazing creativity that a lot of the time you channel into real life practicality!!!
your painting was definetly better than mine so i cant say anything that would be negative.
Layers and layers and more layers! Adding the dots was a good idea, but if you wanted to hide the rough edges even more, it's good to put some dots on the line itself
Nice job. Both models are very fine. I thought first the "original" was a plushy thing. Next time you print 2 halves, you may remove the bottom part in the slicer, just print the perimeter and internal infill. Then sand the bottoms on an plane surface, so you can have an almost invisible minimal gap when glued. Maybe you can cut the part with an extra 0.5 mm on each so you can sand the 0.5mm to an almost perfect joint (easily done in Prusa Sli3er). Voilà, waiting for your next bee-deo

You should make more of these rejected animal 3d prints and make like a little display of all of them. You could also put name plates on their bases

Make Anything: "Yes!"
I instinctively blew on my screen trying to dry the paint. XD

Little late to the party but you could have avoided allot of the stroke lines by thinning the paint a bit, even with water or IPA.
The varnish added another layer of texture as well as depth to the piece! I think it made the shark even more visually appealing
Awesome print and paint build!
If you add a little water to the acrylics it helps with the streaky brush strokes
I'm somewhat surprised you don't include a notch for easier sticking together for some reason

Why
There is one possible major drawback to woodfiller. You cannot wet sand wood filler. It will dissolve away. But if you don't wet sand then it's great
Thanks for the forewarning! Do you think it would be okay under the spray filler?
You did an amazing job!
I really enjoyed your video and if you are reading my comment I want to wish you a wonderful day!
