MikeWazowski Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hello all! I’m so excited and terrified to share my progress on my build! My goal is to 3D print the entire suit. I still have a few pieces left to both design and print. I’ve heard that my greeblies may be a bit too square and would love y’all’s input! Any feedback you have on any of the parts or build would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 With 3D prints I like to sand everything first with 80grit sandpaper, this will get rid of most of the lines, I then apply 3 coasts of spray putty (primer filler in other parts of the world). Leave dry for a few days, wet sand, makes the paper last longer and less dust. Spot (blade) putty for anything remaining then wet sand those areas again. Coat with primer and you are ready for paint. Prep work is the key, especially for a character with such a shiny appearance. Looking forward to seeing your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWazowski Posted September 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thank you!! I have never done a wet sand but keep reading that it’s the best! I’m also stoked to get my sand paper to last a little longer!! Thank you again and hopefully I’ll be able to post a meaningful update (and not just “I’m still sanding!”) in the near future!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWazowski Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 (edited) Pretty stoked about this first layer of gloss black! She's giving reflective!

Nice work, may be a reflection but can see a few print lines still? Be very careful applying paint and make sure the part is completely dry, thinners in paint can soften filler/primer and allow lines to be more noticeable. Rather say something now than see you apply a top coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
