Well more consumables than upgrades….Today I received some new resin and a couple of spare vats for the resin printer.
As some of you know I do like my 3D printer, but sometimes the prints remain a bit fragile, hence the need to order 40 metal pikes to replace the resin ones…. I watched a YouTube video the other day where someone was trialling Elegoo’s ABS resin.
The video is Here
I watched another one where they guy added in 15% flexible resin it really makes a Heck of a difference.
I got a couple of bottles as they were on offer on Amazon. I will do a couple of test prints one with my ordinary and one with the ABS.
In case anyone is wondering ABS is a strong type of plastic. Lego is made of it to name one thing…It was a type of material that could also be run through the filament printer. To be honest I never gave it a try, but with a 15mm Samurai army to print then I thought it might be an idea to save myself some heartache down the line a bit…
I also received my round bases so time to get a start on my secret project…oh and base up my pile of Flintloque miniatures…

Interesting piece, and I continue to be intrigued by the secret project. Looking forward to the reveal!

Hard to believe how small those are. As I mentioned previously, I just dipped my toe into mdf bases too. Mainly I just needed an alternative as I was running out of the disc bases I had been using from Frostgrave sets. Probably won’t be any real difference once I add texture paste on top anyways.

I choose the same size mdf bases as 2p coins so that emergency replacements can be made.

That’s maybe looking a bit like 6mm WW1 to me! 🙂 Sadly enough I know that ABS stands for acrylonitrile-butadeine styrene without having to look it up anywhere (probably because I had an ABS motorbike helmet a long time ago (I think it was ABS anyway)!

6mm is correct…ww1 potentially correct, possibly, sort of kind of.

So could be Russian Civil War, a Very British Civil War or maybe Irish War of Independence, maybe even Third Afghan War! That’s me exhausted my choices without having to think about it properly!
