#Resin Printer

[gooseofthevoid]

Public holiday means a chance to paint something from the backlog!

Pretty happy with how this turned out for something I didn't really have a plan for when I started. I had no clue what colour I was doing for the hair until I mixed up a pink by accident and just rolled with it.

Putting the rust effect on the sword was lots of fun, it's such a cool texture.

This mini is Ninjix Crazy Paladin from Miniatures Blueprint.

Finally got to 3D print the Kensei Muguruma Hollow Mask... Gotta find the wig I bought for him that disappeared and that's pretty much it before I can finally cosplay my favorite Vizard 💯💯

Create Stunning Masterpieces with Resin: A Guide to Resin Art and Essential Tools

Resin is quickly becoming a favorite medium for artists and DIY enthusiasts alike. From resin art to 3D printing, this versatile material offers endless creative possibilities. In this guide, we’ll explore how to create beautiful projects using just resin, resin moulds, UV resin, epoxy resin, and even a resin printer for advanced 3D creations.

What is Resin Art?

Resin art is the process of using liquid resin, often combined with pigments, dyes, or glitter, to create stunning abstract pieces, jewelry, coasters, and more. Once the resin is poured and hardened, the final product has a glossy, durable finish. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, resin art offers a perfect way to experiment with colors and textures.

Just Resin: The Foundation of Creativity

If you're wondering where to start, look no further than just resin. This popular brand offers a range of high-quality resins specifically designed for artistic projects. Whether you're making jewelry or large-scale art, just resin provides everything you need for a smooth and durable finish.

Use Resin Moulds for Precision

When working with resin, resin moulds are essential for creating uniform shapes. Available in various sizes and designs, these moulds allow you to make everything from pendants to intricate sculptures. Simply pour your resin into the mould, let it cure, and pop out the final product. Moulds make it easy for beginners to create professional-looking pieces.

UV Resin for Fast Results

Looking for a quick-drying option? UV resin may be your best bet. Unlike traditional resins, which take hours to cure, UV resin hardens in minutes when exposed to UV light. This makes it ideal for small projects like keychains, earrings, or any project that requires rapid curing. Plus, its crystal-clear finish adds a professional touch to your work.

Epoxy Resin: Strength and Durability

Epoxy resin is a two-part resin that offers superior strength and durability. It's perfect for making larger pieces like tabletops, countertops, or large wall art. Known for its crystal-clear finish, epoxy resin can be tinted with various pigments to achieve stunning color effects. It's also resistant to yellowing over time, making it ideal for projects that require longevity.

Explore 3D Printing with a Resin Printer

For more advanced creators, a resin printer opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Unlike traditional filament printers, resin printers use liquid resin to create highly detailed 3D objects. These printers are perfect for making miniatures, figurines, and other intricate designs that require precision. If you’re into tech and art, a resin printer can combine both passions into one exciting hobby.

Conclusion

Whether you're creating jewelry with just resin, crafting coasters with epoxy resin, or experimenting with quick-curing UV resin, resin art is a versatile and rewarding activity. Add resin moulds for precision and explore the world of 3D design with a resin printer. Dive into the endless possibilities that resin offers and create your next masterpiece today!

Resin is a medium that allows you to bring your imagination to life. From resin art to 3D printing, let your creativity flow with high-quality products like just resin and epoxy resin.

i mean the truth is that we do not need and should not have all this stupid plastic clutter in or houses. no one should be producing or selling this shit. everyone make your own merchandise and charge a living hourly wage to sell it 🤷 sorry to be so simplistic about this but it's one of the results of the lack of class unity specifically in the means of production-owning creative class, who is not mentioned or dealt with by the core Marxist texts as far as I know (i asked about this earlier on here, did marx ever address in his analysis people like, for example, a professional photographer who owns a camera ans prints his own dagguereotypes? or a portrait painter or idk, independent milliner or seamstress? these people all own the means of production and do not employ anyone, and the answer from better educated people than I was that no, Marx didn't mention them), I'm not well read on this at all, there is just a big void where leftist analysis of what modern economists call "the creative class"

I'm getting off topic. my point is make your own keychains in your kitchen. it's actually not hard. you can even mass produce (on a small scale) little plastic crap if you want, with resin and a UV lamp, or a 3d printer, or a laser cutter and acrylic sheets (or just use balsa wood damn, at least its biodegradable and less tacky).

all this stuff is available to little creators AND there are hundreds of people who already own these machines who will take work for you and produce your designs. you just have to actually find them and know them and email them. that's what I mean about the class unity issue with creatives. we have no large scale union, we have no large scale class consciousness, and we're all sending our orders for little plastic crap to sweatshops instead of emailing a guy with a laser cutter in his garage and saying "hey Keith can I get uhhhhhhhhhhh 50 laser cut keychains of this twerking Diggler design I made, like how much would that cost" and he's like sure here's the work and materials cost and tbh it's always always less than i think it's going to be. you just have to do some basic arithmetic and then order shipping, and I hate order fulfillment with my life but you can actually pay or barter with someone to do that for you too. learn to delegate and then factor that into your unit cost. this is basic shit every commercial creator needs to know. they should teach you this in art school but they dont

don't give me crap about "I can't afford a laser cutter" either because I just told you to email Keith. and all these machines get sold secondhand when a manufacturer or hobbyist needs to upgrade. i got a color laser printer perfect for making zines and wheatpastes and shipping labels from a retired lesbian on capital hill for $75 and it was still full of ink. my friend gave me her 20 year old canon dslr because she just didn't need it and didn't want to bother selling it. it works fine because I spent the time finding the right drivers and shit for my computer. and card readers exist. Craigslist. Facebook marketplace. nextdoor sales section. eBay. everyone always forgets eBay. eBay lets you save searches and will email you when it finds a guy selling his vinyl plotter in your city with local pickup. I'm serious

a re-read of Friends Like These got me emotional and decided to throw my (somewhat benevolent) rottmnt oc, Charlie, at Timothy for human friend/machine shop TA support.

Timothy is @pinetreevillain ‘s son and was only abducted momentarily for another doodle with heavy duty machinery.

PS: dealing with CNC ghosts is a mechanical engineering right of passage (and so is having a kooky TA that claims to hear the voices in their head). Might do more of Charlie later?

making him into a nitotan style mini figure :)

[ck-scribbles]

the experiment was a success

[pezhead]

Partly why I've been inactive is cause I decided to make homemade keychains for my family for Christmas~

I used the Batman vs TMNT Mikey to test out different ways to make one. Here is the first successful test and it's the only one I can share here cause some of my family follows me.

Painted a cute little goblin squire :3

Not much to say about this one, just a quick fun paintjob I did in a night. Trying to get back to painting more regularly, and this is a good step in that direction!

One note for myself is that I think I went a little too dark with the darkest green. Or possibly didn't shade lighter tones across enough of the mini. Particularly the tail I think is a tad too dark for a lot of its surface. I was trying to push my dark/light contrast a bit more, but I think I overcorrected. Something to experiment more with though, because I do love some places with that darker green.

This mini is Goblin Squire by Twin Goddess Miniatures

I have this tiny-ass screwdriver (5 cm long!!) so. yeah

The upper half is giving me some serious fucking trouble but it's also pretty late and it has a considerable amount of details so I'll just finish this tomorrow. Wooo Demon Core

The Pale Elf

3D print sculpted by Bulkamancer, printed in Siraya Tech grey UV Resin on my Elegoo Mars 2, and hand-painted by me! I cannot be more pleased with how he turned out 🥰

Detailed shots under the cut

Had to share all these gorgeous details, like the TEXTURES on this models are just gorgeous! All that filigree and bead detailing is raised which made painting it much easier, but still very tedious (so worth the results though). This was my first time painting a face bigger than tabletop mini scale, and boy was I intimidated. Had some friends point me to ball-jointed doll makers and learned about detailing faces with chalk pastels, so I used pastels to give his cheeks some colour, blush the tips of his ears, and make the shadows under his eyes. I could go back and add more colour/texture to his hair but I think its best if I leave it, lest I play with it too much and end up ruining things. I have to keep reminding myself that just cause I can see things in macro lens photos, doesn't mean I'm actually able to go correct those things 😅

Regardless, I'm so so happy with how he turned out, and its crazy that I can look at this and go "me!!! I PAINTED THAT!! ME!!!", and now I have a stunning model of everyones favourite lil rat bastard (affectionate) vampire mans💕

Now that I have my 3d printer working and can semi consistently make it work, I have no idea what to actually use it for. I want to start a cool new painting project but I have no idea what to do. Thoughts, anyone?
