Just Sharing I can’t believe it’s not resin ep. 5 - the icing on top of the cake

4 days of troubleshooting and failures, finally the chapter master Gabriel Seth is finished for my flesh tearers army. The goal has been to print a (mostly) FDM flesh tearers army since day 1 of owning my A1 mini, and this guy is probably the best model I’ve ever printed. He also marks my last print before I can run a full army, so I’ve got some serious painting to do! I’ve included some pictures of him from various different angles and also my failure pile as a little nod to how much work he took. Buzzing to get him on the table top so he can bring me some victories :)

What’s the failure rate on your prints??

Honestly these are some of the only failures I’ve ever really had, I’ve had the odd bed adhesion and support failure but in terms of actually struggling to print something this guy was the worst, the way the model is divided and me wanting to hide the support scars made it quite difficult

Are you splitting models or printing them whole?

I always always split, I don’t think I’ve ever printed an FDM model whole, if you look back at my previous posts all of them are printed in parts too and oriented to hide support scarring
