I spent a lot of time both modeling, and crafting this Castlevania inspired miniature castle. And this isn't the end, I'll be building a full landscape which will feature the castle in future videos, so make sure you subscribe if you wanna catch those!

A 3D-printed castle (with your skilled 3D modeling) is obviously impressive, but does it have a peanut butter wing?
It does not, so the hand crafted model is clearly superior, haha.
I'm not entirely sure if I found this channel on my own or bc of one of your videos, but either way cool to see you here :)
I truly respect both processes but I prefer the cardboard approach. The printer brings perfect architectural guidance for the base and the stories but the diverse materials have a vast array of finished looks. But this plastic castle is still mind blowing and I'd love to finish that. Great work and cool video!
Thanks, I prefer the cardboard approach too, but those machines are fast!
@@KnarbMakes Until they need a "person" for maintenance 🙄 Also I noticed that they aren't any good at all in making their final product Final! So when will we expect a 3D Painter? (For the highlights & lowlights) Not to mention assembly...
What little we've seen of it I think your hand crafted one would look better in the end. I think something about actually doing it by hand, maybe the fact you can make adjustments to the design as you go and add little personal details quickly and easily to it (compared to adjusting resin on the main print) helps bring out character in the piece.
The 3d print is amazing and very obviously going to be faster every time, but I think overall quality hand crafted looks better.
Though I think **best** quality would be hand crafted with some 3d printed bits for details. Add 3d printed gothic windows and gragoyles and such to the castle.
for a fair comparison, I feel you need to factor in the time spent sculpting the castle as well as just printing it
Haha, yeah there's many ways you can compare it. Digitally Sculpting it took over a week of pre-work. But I do that for my physical builds too a lot of the time.
I figured you would be comparing actual time used to build one vs the other rather then a "ready set go"
The 3D is Beautiful....but there just more of something special about the crafting cardboard and for that to me brings out the AMAZING.....very cool work on both....Thank you✌👍‼‼

I like that fancy counter weight that you added to the cardboard base! : )
Your new wood-burning/soldering/XPF carving/fume creating tool is sweet. What's the make/model?
I would have never even thought to add the plaster on top of the bricks. Crazy!
I now see what you meant about splitting the video up, however you picked a perfectly natural stopping point. Excellent work, Knarb!
Fume generator is right. I think the brand is Etepon, pyrography set. Not sure if its any good compared to others but it seems to get hot and the tips go on and off easily enough. There's a xacto knife attachment too.
@@KnarbMakes Oh wow, an X-Acto blade attachment? Now you've really got my attention... I've been looking for an even more painful way of cutting myself! : )
Seriously though, that sounds super useful for cutting foam. Thanks, I'll look up the Etepon.
Everything's Exquisite, another amazing job well done. :D Take all the time you need to finish your model of the Castle of Dracula.
Thanks! Will do!
3D printed stuff is awesome and that you had to design it in the program first is impressive all by itself but there is just something about all handmade stuff that can't compare.
🍮🍮 Great upload.~ Awesome.~ Beautiful EPIC Castlevania Castle.~ So fabulous.~ I'm looking forward to the next video.~
Nice video.~ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙂🙂🐹🐹
*_A timer would have been handy here. Just press stop, note down the time, etc._*
Not only that... time , cost and viability. video hinted that's better mixing both and other approaches The video puls an different video/vlog post Production
So not a fair comparison. The modeling time is part of the build time. Also despite what people are saying here there is no comparison between the quality and detail between the two. 3D printer wins hands down. It is going to look more detailed and solid every time because the small details cannot be done easily by hand. Hand made has a different feel but it's not better just different.
the 3d one is looking very good… but I’m team cardboard obviously ✌️
When l was 12 my family was able to see what we were told may have been Vlad Tepesh castle. It was dissapointing. This was not , top marks.
I love the process of doing things by hand but I find that other priorities get in the way so often that I'm grateful for my printer. Nicely done though.
You'll beat the machines next time Knarb... You'll have to, it'll be life or death when skynet goes live
I fight for the users.
A little late to the vid but a beauty of a model. Always fun to see fellow Blenderists in action and man, that is a lovely castle my friend. I swear tho this only strengthens my paranoia of the machine takeover Knarb... it's coming for us too👀
We have to hold strong! The machines are powerless without us... Thanks for watching friend!
@@KnarbMakes haha indeed. Although we tend to be our own worst enemies so watch us just go and hand over all the power to the mechanical overlords... I mean saviors!😜
if you think about it, the 3d printed castle is also hand crafted, since you used your hands to model it in blender
Indeed it is! Thanks Makkon
Hybrid designs are the best of both worlds
The only reason I don't 3d print terrain is that it would take a fdm printer and I'd rather get a resin one for minis. Also fdm printers are a bitch to run with a lot of factors albeit dirty cheep material
How about you turn the hand crafted one into a destroyed version of the printed one. Swap them out for storytelling purposes
These wild accusations that Knarb has been replaced by an android and is being used to spread pro-robot propaganda are just silly. My humor buffers overflow every time I hear them.
Laughs in binary
What a fantastic idea for a video! And great work on the craft as always!
I’d LOVE to get my hands on those files you used, but I’m not sure the Patreon is working properly… (it’s also completely possible that I’m screwing something up, but the page just comes up blank)
2 variants of the same castle, one being more.....editable...than the other...make a kind of 'wonderland' version . . . . or i guess modern variation would be upside down i guess? but either way a warped rendition of the same location....exaggerated colors and embelishments
Make something from GAME OF THRONES 🐉👑.
Maybe that's the solution, because at this point, work and depression has to take up 99% of my life and the 30 minutes a day I have to think, could probably be used trying to get something to print.
That is incredible ,just love your work 💖
*Dude.* Why are you fast-tracking the Terminator/Matrix timeline?!
I fight for the users.
I'd say bragging rights for the non 3D printing castle though. Anyone can print a 3D print it takes skill to do what youa re doing.
Unfortunately, Нou HAVE LOST. 😃
In case you didn't, please please wear a mask when melting foam.
both look great! i would probably break down the unfinished castle and use it as castle ruins surrounding the 3D printed one, as if the castle used to be bigger but got downsized in a siege or just crumbled from disrepair over centuries until only the center structure remained.
The print is quite interesting but I was saddened that you didn't go for it and try to beat the machine.
So epic! The time and skill taken to design it in the first place is awesome. So many little architectural details. Love it!
Thanks Nic. I have to get a revenge round sometime so the human race doesnt lose face.
If the goal is to craft and have fun doing it...well there's only one winner. As for ideas. You have a great opportunity to have a time traveling story line that features the completed and new castle in 3d plastic and perhaps a more ruined crumbling and overgrown relic in the crafted version.
Back in the day, when I figured time on a build, I learned it was better to multiply by a factor of three and this would be without other duties.
It can be satisfying to get those great results from a 3D printer but not as satisfying as making it yourself.
You might of lost but you might of actually won. Without you that printer can’t do anything. You made the model. It used your hard work.
Thanks Hawk!
Epic!
Your channel never ceases amaze me! Adept both with technology and "anti" technology. You are inspiring me to think differently about my own 3D printing and designs via Fusion 360.
You are awesome bro...❤️
Not the first man first machine super match. Never heard the story of John Henry I guess
You beat me to it, kiddo.
I mean, why not both? You work on the base while it gets the rest, you make the rough outline while it prints the details, you put some junk to good use and it cuts down on time requirements... Plus it'll keep you stuck to the project, since the printer's already in use, doing the latter half of the work FOR you, and keeping you there for safety concerns.
It's like that one scene from Futurama - "Why not make the guys pushing empty minecarts carry heavy machinery in them?"
Hahaha well said. Half of this is just for the spectacle. Thanks for tuning in!
@@KnarbMakes hey, my pleasure!
Knarb...that printed version was nice and all, but your cardboard almost-done castle has heart! Also, that technique using cardboard, foam and the engraver is a great way for some quick and easy Warhammer terrain.
Thanks bluknight! I'll be continuing the build at my slower meat-flesh pace.
Would Tile Grout work as well as the plaster powder do you think?
Yeah, tile grout serving as tile grout would work fantastic!
What was the purpose of using the lighter on the 3d print? Was it to help remove the support nubs?
Yeah it removes little strings imperfections from printed filament
Bran Castle was awesome. Just walking up that hill to the castle was amazing. Funny story... I was wearing a dress when I went and they have a haunted house at the bottom of the hill, as we were walking out, the operator shot air out of a hole in the floor and blew up my entire dress. I pulled a full Monroe.
Anyway! Great job on this Knarb Castle.
alternate universe builds
Your handmade version as a ruin?
Both works are inspiring, both require tremendous skill and effort. But I gotta say the higher "human" cost of the cardboard version comes through and it gives it a bit of something that is kinda missing in the 3D. Both are pride and praise worthy but the hand crafted element also puts organic mistakes in there (the bricks aren't all perfect) that makes it look more real and less display. Sorry for the wall *Subscribed, you earned it!*
On a similar note (I don't craft, but love your content!), I'm an engineer and have many fabricating skills, but the number of projects I actually manage to get to with 3D printing is much greater than doing it by hand. Especially if I need multiple copies of something...
Can you make a demon slayer sculpture plz. It can be any build you want. Nature,building,character,etc. just please make a demon slayer build!
The Hand crafted shows heart, hardworking, not giving up, as for the 3D printing well get the job done quite well, I'll gorgeous for the handy work 100%
this is so cool! love your videos sm!!
But disappointed you didn’t finish the castle anyway
I will, might end up looking different though.
Amazing as usual. Very impressive.
Well, due to your patient and competent work, the handmade is more stunning.
But, the 3D print remains amazing as well, and way more fast. So, it depends on the craft, ability and time of the person, there is no "better", IMO.
First a big wow for the castle design. it is amazing. that is a work no machine can do for you. after that it depends on someones skills if you use cardboard and knife or a 3d printer to bring it into the real world. and I bet there is a crazy fanatic crafter somewhere, who would beat the printer.
It really *sucks* you couldnt finish the cardboard build. Hahahah aahhhh.... Ill show myself out.
Knarb might not have won the race, but I honestly prefer the cardboard castle, even if it's unfinished.
It just has that self made charm, unlike the 3D printed one.
I just discovered your channel and I couldn't be more impressed. Please do a part two some day!
EZD6 ROCKS!
Can you make a vídeo about what programs do you use and how can we afford them and How easy are they, please???
Sure, Im planning a bit more behind the scenes howto videos for my digital workflow actually! A lot of the tools I use are free.
@@KnarbMakes thank you very much!
This is comparable to a picture and a painting of a landscape. The picture is quicker and more accurate, but it isn't unique. Some would go as far as to say it has no soul
so nice, thx
Very nice.
Superb design of castle...how much time it took to model and print it??
I've done both methods and I think it's all about what you like to do I'm a mini painter I enjoy painting more than I enjoy making stuff from scratch so 3d printing is the way to go for me most of the time
Oh my god. I am absolutely losing it over how gorgeous the 3D print is???
Not bobby pins, just sewing pins.
Huh, always thought those were called bobby pins. Today I learned! Thanks!
Actual hairpins, sold with hair accessories, could be useful, though, since they are "U" shaped with long legs.
that print is insanitysauce..... :O and the dust and glue method on the bricks is so much nicer than paste. I keep seeing people ruin their bricks with paste that mostly covers the pattern.
I have 3 3d printers that make a multitude of things for everyday repairs etc but nothing as magical as that castle!
As you said, 3D printers don't have "life gets in the way" problems. I wish I had the time to handcraft intricate D&D scenery, but I work about 65 hours a week. I can spend my free time crafting, or I can spend my free time playing. For a DM with a heavy work schedule, printing just makes a lot of sense. The printer can run while I'm at work, and 12 hours later I return home to a finished plate. Set it to run overnight, and I wake up to another completed job. By game night, I have the pieces I need (albeit often unpainted if I had to print the week of play, but players really just want to explore and kill bad guys anyway; I find they don't actually care all that much if it's just primed in grey or brown). The point is the story and the game, scenery and props are icing on the cake, and occasionally good visual aids for cover and line of sight mechanics.
All that said, I have huge respect for people who can and do take the time to hand craft beautiful custom setups. A lot of love goes into that, and everything is truly unique and special.
I don't think there's a "right" or "wrong" way to create terrain and scenery. If it's working, and you're having fun, then it's all good.
Well said Cristia. No right or wrong way, this was just a bit of fun!
Oui enfin c'est trop gros et pas jouable. Et pas transportable !
Beau travail comme même. Chapeau l'artiste !
Great work but surely the design phase is a factor? So you could have added that time and or had the computer use ai to guess a design. So then we'd have the computer ai interpretation of a castle being printed vs a human design and hand made build etc. Consider this in future as there are free and paid ai learning which can make 3d models based on suggestions.
That 3D printed design is a knockout but I have great fondness for the hand built castle! (Possibly due to my own experience building a castle from Pringles tubes and cereal boxes for my daughter's 6th grade class project!) I hope to see it completed eventually although I can understand that you may prefer to finish it differently than Dracula's castle!
Thanks Ann! I might take the cardboard castle it in a more Disney-esque direction, rather than the current macabre.
I think to really stick it to the robots you should make the printed one the destroyed version while the hand made one is the pristine! Great video!
Can't wait to see the finished cardboard-modell :)
well both are good and you whare gettting thare but yes that robot juast well does what say it just goes o as long as got power but me rather ues duhams over plater it does get hot and mix paint in to it say a drop of black and get gray but wish the guys who make foam dis in gray in fist plays save a step plaiting it see nest vid
Im building it in conan and valheim and then compareing them both lol
ok how long before the stl is ready for purchase?
Honestly I was just waiting for someone to ask. Wasn't sure anyone would want it. Ill throw it up on my patreon later tonight.
@@KnarbMakes where can I get it? i don't see it
You do make some very impressive size builds Knarb! How much does that print weigh? Looking forward to the finnished hand made version!
Hehe this is turning into a 3d printing propaganda channel.
Niiiiice
Any chance i can order that Dracula castle?
Blimey, that IS a big print!
They do both look great. I enjoy your hand made builds very much. You're so wonderfully creative!
that's a very pretty spooky castle
Both are outstanding!
Knarb, the modern day John Henry?
Where can I get the template to print it?
Used the carbored one as a ruined one
Nice experiment
Incredible work
Nice job
wow awesome sauce
So good!
amazing
Epic
