🎉Hey ya'll! We have a D&D Book + STL Kickstarter coming on Aug 3rd! Check it out here: 3dpt.me/uncharted-yt
Thanks for the support!
Drybrushing is pretty tricky on FDM prints, has to be done carefully. But not always - sometimes the layer lines can be used to simulate a texture of fabric or even fine chainmail.
I've been advocating layering as a technique on FDM prints (as opposed to drybrushing) for a year now - good to hear a pro agree with me. :D
You've been ahead of the curve on a lot of things my friend :)
what exactly is layering?
@@michaeltroll8429 Basically it's starting dark, and adding successively lighter shades in successively smaller areas to build up the color. Thinning the paint a little, and using brush strokes inward towards the center of the area, helps smooth out the borders between each shade.
@@Valandar2 Thank You
Layering can replace washes as well. I find that FDM prints just drink up the wash without accomplishing anything, because they're so porous. Washes also have a bad habit of picking out the very layer lines that you're trying to hide.
It is more about FDM vs Resin talk than about Pro painting tips, but hey, maybe next video ? I would love to hear more from both of you guys, keep up the good work !
I am currently working on a resin printer. I also painted my sculpt directly and it helped me a lot. Thank you.
GOLD! packed knowledge for all of us!! Great video! We need more "guests" like this!
If I could have infinite funds I'd fly out and bring 'em all on! :D Glad you liked it, Lazaro!
re-watching this 2 months later because I finally got the courage to print my minis!
Hello, what kind of paint do you use?
Just started painting 3d printed "minis"... Started with printing 3d set for Catan and this video is going to the hidden gold category...
Nice! Catan is one of those games that can get so much love from printing. Especially having such a vibrant community and soooo many free prints online. Cheers man! Enjoy!
Wow this video is a gem. So much great info. Every 3d printer enthusiast should watch.
Thanks for the share man! Feel free to share wherever you think folks would appreciate it :)
You're a good speaker. Nice job painting and being able to ask thoughtful questions at the same time
Great mix in format, love a good long-take. Having extensive experience in automotive painting,one real issue is what’s known in the trade as chemical-pop. It’s where paint repels in contaminated areas. Chemical pop can happen from silicons, oils and moisture. Cleanliness is Godliness 😂🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺😎🤓
Hell yes! Love me some chris spotts!. He is such a nice guy and is always willing to help!
I love this channel. Thank you so much for providing all of this information!
Hey Danny, would you consider doing a video on making silicone molds and then casting 3d printed terrain tiles? I've been printing a ton of Dragon Lock terrain tiles and would love to switch to resin casting but couldn't find any good videos on the topic. I think it would make for a pretty cool video too!
Great vid man
Keep it up
Love the vids
Thank U Danny The "3d DM" for introducing this amazing human being named Chris u guys i would listen to for days
Fantastic video, full of information for people!
Recently found your channel, thanks very much.
Thank you very much! Its really help full.
Very informational, thank you
Awesome video, just got a ender3 and learning how to paint these minis, also using your cura siepie profile.
Cheers my friend! Happy printing & happy painting!
@@3DPrintedTabletop Thanks

Hi, a bit out of scope, is it possible to print something like that? www.dropbox.com/s/rfnw5jrf0q9nmfv/image_1c.jpg?dl=0 If yes, how difficult or expensive would it be?
@Stiko Rama: It is - check out this KS by Hobgoblin3D: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hobgoblin3d/tavern-borntm-pintsized-realms-3d-printable-kingdo
Cheers :)))
having messed around with it I'd suggest priming if your going to try and do something resembling an enamel pin thing. Priming in general though seems like it will aid in paint adhesion 100%
Also keep tooth picks and q-tips nearby.
By far the best tip I've come across is to layer primer, Krylon CoverMax satin, and primer again (Tip found here: ruclips.net/video/I2mtVPplfu8/видео.html ) This combined with your miniature print profile has gotten me the best results.
Interesting and some good teaching moments.
I just love your videos, keep it up! :) I actually prefer to not see experts with painting so i don't feel so bad at it lol
Thank you for this video!
Some advice for plastic 3D printed models, preparation and undercoating and all stuff about lines on model, sanding etc.
Love your shirt, great video.
Great video ,shame the camera switched off but what you captured was invaluable for use newbies . I have considered a air brush for a while ( so many larger terrain prints i thought it would be much quicker to paint) so hearing some positives has convinced me to give it a try ( with a cheap air brush to start and learn )
Great video, man!
Really useful! Thanks
Good info.
When you showing info on the next KS??
This is great information.
Do you have to thin the primer before using it for an airbrush? Or just with the brush?
I'd be curious to see the slap chop painting method done on fdm prints.
Does drybrushing on a resin print makes the izohips like surface on top (or sides depends how you angled the print) make more noticable/worse?
Hi Danny, where i can get those ogre models? and thanks for the great job, your videos are awesome.
Awesome vid!
I'm starting to paint printed minis and this video is a treasure!
BTW, what is the mini you guys are painting right now? Is it available for free in online resources, or it is a paid download?
LEGENDARY James Wappel Hobby Lobby Paint Brush: Great video! I would love to try this brush out but I haven't been able to locate it yet. Has anyone been able to find it yet? Does anyone have a link for it or the Hobby Lobby SKU/Part No?
I know this is a year later but I might have found the brush. SKU: 238295. It's branded "tree house studio" but its green, there's no branding on the brush itself, and there's a review that mentions that its good for contrast painting on miniatures. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Stencils-Craft-Paints/Brushes-Tools/Round-Paint-Brushes---12-Piece-Set/p/425
@@parallacksg Very nice! Thanks!
What acrylic paint you use. Hard body or soft body paint.
Dry brush works on fdm prints just as well as ones I’ve purchased!
What type of paint is best to use?
I find that with PLA prints, those first few layers are vital. The paint itself has to BE detail, adding extra paint to blend layer lines where needed, letting paint dry, being patient as hell. It's satisfying though to end up with something that doesn't even look 3D printed, never mind PLA. I tend to sand a lot, and use cataloy knifing putty - its thick and fills layer lines nicely then is smooth as silk when sanded. Patience with those first layers means that shade washes work great, dry brushing works great, and you end up with something that can sit beside anything on your shelf.
What paints do you reccomend for resin prints?
where may one get the Samus mini to print and paint?
Goobertown sent me, awesome channel, subscribed.
Is that a wet/damp paper towel of some sort he's using as a pallet?
Chris is a nice guy I have been following his page for a number of months now. His page is also filled full of lots of useful information, would recommend checking it out for sure.
Danny and rest of the gang, have you tried magic profiles for minis with creawesome mod? any success?
I haven't tried it, but know a few folks in the community who have - and the results haven't been very good for minis. If it's useful, I'd assume it'd be with terrain, but haven't given it a shot yet!
What Colors are those?
Acryl or something special?
Shout out to warcolours paints!
Love the stuff!
cant find the hobby lobby paint brush any help guys
Could you make designs for earth elementals or rock golems
MaUri 2121 dutchmogul has some decent supportless ones in his earthenkind set on thingiverse
I didn't get the one but of info I came here for. What kind of paint is recommended. The local comic shop has all these paints for minis but they're $4-7 per bottle while I see bigger bottles of acrylic at Michael's for like 80 cents.
There are a lot of videos on this topic, Phil - it's both complicated and simple at the same time. The miniature paints at hobby stores usually have better coverage/pigment density, but hobby paints can work too. A great painter can work with whatever they have. If you're looking for a good brand to start with, I recommend Vallejo Game Color Starter. Good luck!
Awesome
what is the brand of the paints?
What type of FDM printers do you and Chris use now?
Subbed spotted painter to.
How long have you been doing this?
Anybody have a lead on those brushes he talks about at 5:40? I've googled around and everybody just says James Wappel gets cheapo brushes at Hobby Lobby, nobody actually links them or names them.
you should do a video on desktop hero 3d
What happened with that live last time, I couldn't join back at 12th and it still says that its going to be aired in future.
I never got it to work. Gonna have to get a streaming pro to help me out next time an additional 2 times to make sure it works :D
Hay dude, love the channel ☺ I don't have a printer but still wtch all your videos ☺ as an idea for a video series or viewers interaction segment on your channel. Why don't you get people to send in their 28mm characters by drawing / SDL files etc, have people vote or pick a theme or whatever way you'd like to host it ☺. Set up your cameras with music playing over the top and either live broadcast the figure being printed or pre record the figure being printed. It might sound mad but people would watch a 2hour live stream maybe chatting with you but watching the printer doing it's thing. Might be an extra way to bring up your viewing hour's just do it once a month at the end of an interactive campaign. Maybe send the figure to the prison who designed it or to some one who interacts with you through the process. Sorry for the rant, just taught that might be something that would help your channel grow ☺
Yo but what do you think about 3d pens?
I tried contrast paints on some minis recently,
thought I'd share a photo of two of them, my print quality is rubbish as I don't really spend a lot of time learning 3d printing and painting as I should to get good at it but thought people here might be interrested in what an absolute novice at 3d prints and painting is being able to do in just spare time when they are really busy

Edit* I should mention this are MZ4250 models from thingiverse
and he's a photo at a "normal" tabletop distance when playing something like D&D

1:37 *slowly morphs into Ender 3 lmao*
Hey Danny, thank you for channel. Has anyone ever told you? You look like Jon Bernthal.
Thanks Danny & have a great day.
If you're an old fart like me or otherwise need to use a magnifying glass or the visor don't mind the layer lines. They show up as big as trees under the glass but after a layer of paint or two they don't under the naked eye.
Also use your polyacrylic trick after priming.
Layer. Layer. Layer. 4 thin layers beat 1 thick messy layer all the time.
I dont think air goes through fdm minis...
👍😊💚
"Now that’s what I call high-quality H2O.”
you dont need much paint. Also another tip is you don't need a huge array of paints and brushes.
cant believe you never discussed what type of pain to use.. thats 20 minutes i wont get back !
use acrylic paints, preferably stuff meant and formulated for minis such as Citadel/GW, Vallejo, P3, Scale 75, etc
Yeah this answered none of my questions.
If only hobby lobby wasn't evil.
man i'd sooo love to do that . get a printer and paint my figurines ... very costy tho :C
Not necessarily, I just bought an ender 3 pro that comes with 2kg worth of plastic for £155. Now I’m not saying that’s not a lot of money but when you compare it to the price for a box of minis or a terrain kit it should pay for itself pretty quickly
I say paint softly. Be genital remember the mini design for 3d printers are not there yet. They will snap and can have too many easy to break points.
Also try to paint a story. A well blended white robe may not be as interesting to look at than a whote robe with fade blood patches and mud.
The best tip I can give you is perfections is found in your mistake.
7:30 girl in the background wth
his body type confuses me
That's what you took out of the video? 🤦♂️
I thought the dude was Bobby Boucher from The Waterboy?....he looks and sounds just like him...!
