Awesome job, love the techniques you show in this. Will definitely try these out myself. Very much appreciated! I am very impressed with the final on that PI case, I have to try this out.
Glad you liked it! its a really fun process. Don't forget the holidays are right around the corner. Could be used to make some unique gifts! Thanks for watching!
Have fun! And remember, if it isn't looking the way you want it to at first, keep adding more ink and keep brushing until you get the look you are going for! The first time I ever tried this, it took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I figured it out, it was super easy! Thanks for watching!
Primer always thin layers, sand, thin layer, sand, thin layer. You could've salvaged the first print but would have required too much sanding and elbow grease, I would've reprint it too lol. The wood pattern on the top of the enclosure looks amazing!
Thanks! I thought it came out pretty good too! 😁 It was an old can of filler primer. Halfway through spraying it just randomly started coming out super heavy. Running a fresh print was definitely the better option haha. Glad you liked the video!
Wood filaments don't look anything like actual wood. They have a wood-ish appearance, but you can very easily tell it is not. This process ends up looking shockingly realistic when done right.
For the primer as long as it it a "filler" primer you should be able to use any brand. As for the varnish, the only one I know of that works with alcohol inks is the Krylon Kamar Varnish
@@makerscorner93that's impossible to find in NL. Maybe sharing a bit more detail of the varnish could help find an alternative. Maybe ingredients, type and whatnot on the bottle may help. Great work by the way. Look forward to reproduce it
@@makerscorner93 I'm not a native but this area has always been like a second home to our family and we moved here a number of years ago. Keep up the great work.
@@makerscorner93 Yup, joys of living in paradise. We're not on the coast but had the joy of being too close to flooding after Milton. Slowly building a compound here so I can go a week or more without power and water.
Haha thankfully we own the condo and our HOA is super SUPER chill! They don't really care about much at all as long as it doesn't impact other neighbors in a negative way. Which is a really good thing because my next project definitely would not be HOA approved in most places! 😉
On things with relatively little geometry like the Raspberry Pi case it isn't too bad. The actual wood grain painting part of that only took about 15 minutes total and that's only because I was being a little more picky than I probably should have. (Probably didn't help that I hadn't had my morning coffee yet 😂) Depending on what you need your print to look like this is definitely one of the easier ways to get a somewhat realistic wood grain look. If you are doing anything with a ton of geometry like the Indian sculpture, then yes it can definitely be a ton of work! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching! 😁

Thank you! It’s a fun technique to play with. Also really useful for possible gift ideas with the holidays coming up 😉
Very interesting project and very good information. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the kind comment!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time. I’ve saved this because I’m going to try this at some point in the near future. The results look really good!

As a woodworker, I think they look great :-)
Thank you. Means a lot coming from a wood worker!
good effort and thanks for sharing the knowledge, it really looks good to me, both the raspberry case and the sculpture
Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot to me!
Sweet! Gonna give this whirl. Thanks for the tips, big dawg.

Now that Bambu, Sunlu and others have come out with wood filaments, is this actually necessary?
Wood filaments don't look anything like actual wood. They have a wood-ish appearance, but you can very easily tell it is not. This process ends up looking shockingly realistic when done right.
Regarding the primer and varnish, can these be any brand? What specs should we look in to? Thanks

_Waves_ Hey local person ( I spy an old TBT newspaper )!
Haha born and raised! One of the few remaining Florida natives! lol
@@makerscorner93 I'm not a native but this area has always been like a second home to our family and we moved here a number of years ago.
Keep up the great work.
Well welcome. Enjoying this lovely hurricane season weather? The joys of living in Florida! lol
@@makerscorner93 Yup, joys of living in paradise. We're not on the coast but had the joy of being too close to flooding after Milton. Slowly building a compound here so I can go a week or more without power and water.
What spray/color did you use after sanding the primer?
Rust-oleum Nutmeg
Print, spray, ink paint, ink, paint, use all ink, paint, DONE🎉
Don't forget the ink paint! 😂
Great job… but spray-painting on the screened balcony… that screen’s gonna get f-up with paint. HOA knocking on your door 😂

@@makerscorner93 Waiting to see that/those next project(s)! I'm gonna try that faux wood approach, it does look great!
It looks decent, but I feel it is too much work for the result.

@@makerscorner93 Yeah it's fine for one item, but if you are mass producing or making print on demand, it is certainly too much manual labour.
Oh for sure. This is definitely more for one off items. Mass production would be a nightmare! Haha
