Get Perfect 3D Prints on Any Resin Printer With the Exposure Finder!

As far as settings go, finding the best exposure setting is arguably the most important part of Resin 3D Printing.
If your exposure setting is too high then you will lose detail and “High detail” is kinda the whole point of using a resin printer isn’t it?
If your exposure setting is too low then your models probably won’t print at all. So finding the best exposure settings is extremely important!
Unfortunately, it can be a bit overwhelming and kind of frustrating.
So the goal of this video is to help make the resin calibration process much easier and less frustrating!

As always if you have questions you can post them below or reach out to me on Facebook.

A complete guide to painting minis

Posted on 09/01/202409/01/2024 by choi

This is THE Mini Painting Tutorial video that I recommend for newer painters. If I could send one tutorial video to my younger self on the day I bought my first minis, it would be this video!

In this painting guide I use the Age of Sigmar Chaos barbarian models from the Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault crew Godsworn Hunt. I show some of my favorite ways to build, prime, and paint these models for a simple and fun look. This tutorial is designed to be accessible to anyone, and a useful resource for beginners and people interested in the fundamentals of painting warhammer minis.

I covered as many techniques as possible, from clipping and cleaning minis, to gluing and clamping them, sub-assemblies, how to use spraypaint primer, how to zenithal highlight, how to build a wet palette, how to mix paints, how to basecoat, how to wash, how to highlight, and how to paint eyes. Then I varnish the models.

If you think this video would be useful for someone you know, I encourage you to share it! Also, I’ll be making more videos geared for newer painters in the future- let me know what other useful straightforward techniques I should try to show and I’ll see if I can find appropriate minis! And as always, I apologize for any clickbait titles and thumbnails that I may use 🙂

Happy painting everyone!
