@3dprinting Hey everyone. I recently went to a miniature store to pick up some more premium paints for my miniatures I’m 3D printing for DnD. While I was there I saw a really nice paint cup for brushes. I knew I could get a model offline so I didn’t buy it and instead opted to print one. I found a really nice one, but it lacked that little extra something. So I modified the original design and added the DnD logo. I think it turned out really nice.
What do you guys think?
Methinks your printer needs some real tuning, unless the model itself was funny.
That said, I think it looks REALLY cool exactly how it is. I really love the purple and am always a fan of shiny filaments! Looove it!
I’m assuming that’s a “draft” resolution to get a general idea rather than the fine/longer-print version
Looks neat. The color and how it catches light is fun.
Would paint leach in between layers?
@zhunk Acrylic paint is water based so it shouldn’t even adhere really. I just printed it yesterday and haven’t painted a lot so I’m unsure.
I printed a little painting palette once that absorbed acrylic paint the first time I used it. I didn’t try to do any kind of sealer or epoxy or anything, though, so you might have better luck with that? Or maybe ABS with acetone smoothing?
