I actually printed one for a friend, costed $250 in resin and half my life in stress trying to assemble the thing, but other than that it was one of the easier model's I've ever printed.
Also, it looks like your supports are all straight lines. In lychee there's a button under manual supports that lets you "parent" the supports so it combines close by ones so they have less straight lines and combine together at near the object, and then click bracing to give bracings between the supports to make them stronger. It all in all does decrease the amount of resin needed for the supports a tad bit, and also makes it stronger than just straight poles/lines.
I don't yet have experience supporting big parts so take this with a cup of salt, but what I would recommend is orient that parts so the unseen sections are facing the build plate (looks like you already do that) then strictly use your heavies there to anchor the part. Every where else, use mediums where you would habitually put a heavy. Also, instead of peppering heavies all around, space them out and edit the tips using the fan method so you have one heavy tip and 4 or more light tips just to ensure the edge doesn't warp. If you're still using the free version of Chitubox, maybe look into the paid version of Lychee if you're going to be doing a lot of your own supports often. Can't wait to see the end result!
Only advice I can give is that when you hollow chances are you have some drainage holes right? Most likely in undersides of areas that won't be seen, like the connection/gluing areas right? Well, put some heavy supports that connect to the inside. Obviously you still need to support the rest of the model but this way you can sneak in some really strong weight holding supports that will absolutely leave nasty marks but the marks are on the inside of the model and you'll never see them.
"a lot of people would agree, 5 inches is pretty big" 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying man. Intentional or not. That being said, dope printer. I have the files for one of these, BUT I don't have a resin printer. Debating on waiting for one, or if fdm would do.
😂😂😂😂 Hahaha glad you got a giggle lol well I mean I managed to print out a lot of the skeletal frame in fdm and I think I would do a warlord fully in fdm it would just take longer
Supports. Firstly stop thinking of them as "supporting" your print like a FDM printer. Resin printers do not require the amount of supports you are using. Those shoulder pads you printed could have been printed with no supports. A simple idea that i use now to determine if i need supports or not is using the Y method. A resin printer will print the letter Y in any size with no supports. So if you have no angles greater than 45 degrees and or no overhangs that will start printing in thin air you will not need supports. Sure add a few where you may think you might have a problem but "Holy supports Batman" this is just not required for a resin printer.
I know what you mean brother but I'll be honest... I'd rather over support the living life out of this than deal with failures and cleaning everything and the delays
@@battlebrothersam but mate your supports are not doing anything remember your prints are printing upside down so your supports are more likely to cause your print to fail because of the extra weight you are adding to the print...yes if you were printing the right way up with a FDM printer I could undersatnd but all your supports are achieving nothing other than adding weight and wasting resin.....trust me over supporting prints that dont require supports will cost you more in time and failures than no supports
Always enjoyable! - you mentioned needing bigger printers for a bigger project - WH40K scale Imperial Cruiser for your troops to fight on the surface of?
Love your videos. Seeing one of your setbacks I thought about phrozen’s resin auto fill pump. If you are planning on huge projects in the future it might be worth the investment.
Challenge: Take the smallest Warhammer 3D printed model you can find. Upsize to the size of a Warlord Titan, and then cut it up so it fits on the smallest printer you have, using Luban3D. I don't work for Luban, I've just seen how great the software program is, and partially what it's capable of.
Love your videos , very fun. The one where you explained how to print was what finally convinced me I could do it myself. So after someone getting me a generous birthday present, and 60+ hours of tutorial videos, I think I have only had 1 failure so far, and one fep puncture. I do hate changing those tho so many screws. Would like to join the discord later but I am very broke atm. I am sure there are lots of tips that could improve for me, I tend to oversupport too because I woudl rather waste more on supports than reprints. Thanks for making it fun.
What were your bottom layer exposure times for your mega 8k prints? They seem to have come off the bed pretty nicely and I still haven't dialed that setting in yet so I'm way over exposing still.
love the video's! but can you do something about the sound being so low in all your vids? i find i need to turn up the vol. 2x whenever i watch your vids
Hello Battle Brother. A few months back you did a very comprehensive video about what you thought of as entry, intermediate and advanced level printers and kit. Now you have more experience with different types of kit I was wondering if you were thinking about doing an updated version of the video?
Hi, great video :) ! Sorry for asking, but do you think that it is possible to print an entire army with only a 150€ printer ? The Anycubic Photon Mono Se is very cheap, it’s 4k…

I have a knight and a imperial tank thingy... the new bigish one no idea what its called, that suffered similar things to you. With the tank i managed to salvage it and it looks great, smaller bits keep snapping off though aha next time im making it ill make it more boring hatches closed etc etc. But yeau i printed a knight and i did not realise resin was trapped in some areas, so both arms inflated and are ruined. One was so bad i pulled it off, now i need to perform surgery and print off another arm, the other arm, is not so bad, i need to put some glue in and tie around some areas and like... push it back together once i clean out all of the resin. 3D prints are the most frustrating thing. Lately im sick of pieces snapping off, and dents being made that im taking a break. I have decided until i paint and fix all of thr prints i have i will not be printing anymore. It really never ends ahah
That's also not Including all the failures. I printed a space marine tank and it was so poorly designed as in it was so badly designed in its parts that trying to assemble it caused my fingers to go through it ruining the entire bottle of resin and a week's worth of effort. Some tanks like the rhinos I got somewhere print so great and look so good. A thing I have started to do, is sorting my STL files, it's a huge task. Im mainly after 1:1 minis and I'm after them looking good and easy to print. So far I have found 6 stls out of thousands that fit that description.
Question for you about the Anker FDM printer you’ve been using lately: how does it do with smaller models? The precision of it that you highlighted as being close to a resin printer is fascinating, and I’d love to see its performance to see if it can match a resin printer with a guardsman or space marine model

Great tips brother! I use lychee pro to support love it well worth the money
hell yeah best titan series
Thanks brother 😎
sam youre an absolute ledge! for removing those supports throw them in hot water and watch them peel off so nicely!
This legion will be done before squidmar releases their titan diorama finale 😂
😂😂 The race is on!

Bro the paint job on me looks amazing!!! Props to you bro I’m hyped to see the whole legion painted up
HahHa glad you like it brother! It was bugging me that I hadn't painted them 😅

@@battlebrothersam I'll have to give it a go.
I just found your channel, I'm gonna have to go back and watch the rest of this.
I agree brother, 5 inches is pretty big.
My wife however says we are both incorrect. 😢

Love when i get notified from the discord. Always watch asap
Legend! Thanks brother

Oooh what a great idea! No I shouldn't... Should I? Lol
Love your videos. Seeing one of your setbacks I thought about phrozen’s resin auto fill pump. If you are planning on huge projects in the future it might be worth the investment.
Thanks brother! Yes I've seen it pop up on my Google feed (funny how that happens) and thought the same
UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!
Lovin this series Sam. Keep the good stuff coming.
Thanks brother 😎😎 so close to a completed warlord I can almost taste it
Heh, still hoping you gather all all the failed and broken prints, and make a kickass "Grave yard of the Titans" table out of them:)
Challenge:
Take the smallest Warhammer 3D printed model you can find. Upsize to the size of a Warlord Titan, and then cut it up so it fits on the smallest printer you have, using Luban3D.
I don't work for Luban, I've just seen how great the software program is, and partially what it's capable of.
Do you have the supported fixed files? I’m trying to print one too
Sorry I can't share them, also I don't think anyone would want to use them 😂😂
I'd love to have one of these high capacity printers, i've done a lot with my 10" 4k, but one of these at a higher res would just be great.
Love your videos , very fun. The one where you explained how to print was what finally convinced me I could do it myself. So after someone getting me a generous birthday present, and 60+ hours of tutorial videos, I think I have only had 1 failure so far, and one fep puncture. I do hate changing those tho so many screws.

Thanks very much brother! Funny you say about punctured fep... I've had 2 this week with potentially another 2 coming!

Really also like to print some, but can't seams to get the files anymore😢
Files are still online
That's one hive printer!!!!
It's bloody huge! Perfect for a hive of gaunts 😂😂

@battlebrothersam is going to run out of space in his printing room. Kinda jealous.
I already have 😭

Are you going to use the solid warlord head, or the hollowed version with crew?
This happens to be the file for my proxy warlord! It looks amazing when assembled
Awsome video!
Unleash the resin let’s go
LET'S GO BROTHER!
Have you tried one page rules? A lot of player are trying out and Loving it!
Freedom lbs.? That checks out.
Amazing!!!!!!!
Thanks brother 😁😎
How many 3D printers do you have by now?
I probably have enough to open up a print farm if I had the time 😅 although I dont have the space in my tiny room
can you make a video about printing a tau army
Funny I was going to but once in a six side done a great video for tau so I moved on to another army that should be coming soon
couldn't findit im guesing you ment the one from 4 week ago
8kg of speed and you could just 3D print for a week straight and not need sleep at all lmao.
whats with the random cable at 4.20ish lol
What cable? The one going into the purple light?
I meant candle, stupid fingers!!!!@@battlebrothersam
Dont you start to run out of space for all that printers? 😅😆
I already have lol
Sam! What's up man?!
Waaasssuuppp brother 😎
I can't wait to see how you paint her up! (of course it's a her - all war machines are female; it's some sort of universal law)
Oh she's already been started on! I did forgot however about a box of parts that printed at the start when I was priming lol
