Gloss varnish will get you that wet look. Just put some all over it and you’ll be golden, plus your paint job will be protected.
Looks amazing!
Jessie, howcome everytime i try to put holes in any of my models it tells me "failed, walls to thick or thin"? It wont let me add holes even after i hollow the models
Elegoo also has a sale on there website $130 off Saturn ultra s4.
Dang you clay!!! 😂 Amazing video
Hey uncle jessy why didn't you use the elegoo Jupiter se and print it huge? I would love to see you print a large sculpture on the Jupiter se…….
This is probably the most incredible resin print i've seen yet. fantastic job
Thought it was a melted clear plastic spoon in the thumbnail. lol
Looks amazing!
Thank you Jesse. I have been wondering about printing lenses for helmets, currently crafting a couple of Space Marine helmets,Titus's and a Chaplain. I'm conscious that it may cause eye damage. After watching i might stick to sheet materials for any optics
I can't tell you how many times I see prints on reddit with a big crack in them and resin dripped all over and they're asking "what happened to my print?"
No drain holes!
I've tried Polycrylic spray for clear coat and noticed it looked like it had tiny bumps all over from the spray droplets, so it was not perfectly clear. Then I tried brushing on 3 coats of Polycrylic from a can and that worked much better.
Only suggestion would be to hit it with some glossy clear coat for the wet look, minus the clear part. For that you'll want to use something else possibly an oil that won't make it yellow over time, as the clear coat might yellow on the clear part.
Great print! One helpful thing I have discovered is using Zona polishing paper as opposed to sand paper. The sand paper has a thicker back than the polishing paper and isn’t as flexible and easy to get into hard to reach and curved areas. Amazon has them and they are great!
I always love the detail on resin prints.. and I always find myself looking at various statues etc. thinking man I would love to make that.
But the toxic nature of the chemicals.. the odor they apparently produce ( never been that close to one myself but EVERYONE seems to talk about it ) and the requirement for all that extra hardware ie. a curing station, uv station, and so on has kept me in fdm for now but who knows maybe some day. XD
For prints like that, and aircraft canopies, we used to use "future floor polish" to get them REALLY clear. You can't find it anymore, but a newer replacement is called "QUICK SHINE".
You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot in the floor polish section.
A quick dunk, let it dry, and it retains that clear look very very well.
Incredible work as always 👍👍
Uncle Jessie painting skill has improved a lot!!
Jessie Amca banada bi Elegoo lütfen 🙏
Wow… a $24 Model is certainly nice…
Sick print
Try uv craft resin for wet
Brilliant progress 👏👏
You don't have to prime resin prints first? interesting…
If you are looking for the wet look, the gloss finish or varnish can usually make something look wet. Matte and satin usually look better for clothes and sometimes skin, but wet is definitely gloss
Oh – forgot to ask, can you share a link to the dry brush palette? Thanks!
Incredible work and result, it looks amazing!
For that wet look try Mod Podge Acrylic Sealer Super Hi-Shine
Where is the link for your dry brush palette?
Great tutorial. I use Saraya Tech simple clear quite a bit and for best results I use Maguire's Plasti X polishing compound. All you need is a hand compound pad and a microfiber towel. You don't have to do any wet sanding beforehand and it's paintable with clear top coat. Another cool feature of the clear simple resin is I can custom tint with resin pigments.
Nice work and thanks for the work process you showcased. Now for some critique, I would have gone with that Smoky transparent black Head shield, i do think that had look so much better with the work you did on skull part, dulling it down a bit. If you look at the Xenomorphs they do not have clear skull shields they are a semi transparent Chitin which you can faintly see the skull texture beneath when the light hits it in the dark movies. And for some wet look you can go with a simple gloss varnish from the store and paint it on making it have that wet look, i would personally just do it on the most bright dry brushed parts of the model to give it a sheen as if lights hits the model.
For the wet look I wouldn't use something like Krylon's triple gloss coat.
Thank you!! I’ve been struggling lately to get successful prints on my resin printer and this helped greatly
Well done. You could gloss or satin coat the rest of the skin to give it a shiny or wet look. I would probably do silver on the teeth as well.
Use a glossy varnish to get it shiny and wet
Wow I appreciate the skill! This is a lot of work & looks amazing!
What filament did you use for the base?
