Crucible Guard Base Test Results

Day 102: Starting to Feel Better

Today’s an improvement. Definitely not back to normal, but I fixed the supports on the objective so it actually prints. And my base idea worked!

You can see it actually looks like it’s meant to be on the base. It’s not insane. Very happy with how they turned out.

The Base Insert Solution

Now that I know that’s going to work, I went through and made a plate that’s all 50mm, a plate that’s all 40mm, and a plate that’s all 30mm.

This way looks a lot better because see here—on this one, how the dirt is still recessed in the base and the plates are on top. If you had just had the base insert normally, all the dirt would have been up and there’d been a huge thick rim. The base insert itself was as thick as that pipe, so it just looks really silly to me doing it the normal way.

Progress Despite Being Sick

Even despite being as sick as I was, I was able to get these bases figured out and all my files prepped. I’ll probably print these over the next couple of days because I’m probably a little bit over 3D printing honestly after doing all of Trench Crusade and now Crucible Guard.

I’m glad the rest of Crucible Guard isn’t coming until the 29th because I’m ready to put 3D printing away.

100 Subscribers!

We hit 100 subs! That’s crazy. That’s awesome. Thank you all for subscribing. It’s pretty cool.

The Board Plan

I was thinking about this board—what I’m going to do is get a crazy high, very light tan color dry brush first, then oil wash it. That way I can just be done with it and not have to worry about the dry brush after the oil wash.

Really happy with how it looks from the paint. Now we just kind of dry brush and call it done.

Transcript

All right. Uh, day one O2 starting to feel better. Today’s an improvement. Definitely not back to normal, but I fixed the supports on the objective so it actually print. Uh, my base idea worked.

And you can see like it actually looks like it’s meant to be on the base. It’s not insane. Very happy with how they turned out. Um, got to make a whole plate of them so I can print the rest of them off. Got the base for the pit locus.

So now treasure shade will be done. Oh yeah. So, you can see the bases turned out great. Uh, now that I know that that’s going to work, I went through and I made a plate that’s all 50 mls, a plate that’s all 40 ms, and a plate that’s all 30. So, this is way more looks a lot better cuz like see here, like on this one, how the dirt is still like recessed in the base and the plates are on top.

If you had just had the base, like all the dirt would have been up and there’d been a huge thick like the base insert itself was like as thick as that pipe. So it just looks really silly to me doing it the normal way. Uh so even despite all my being sick as I was able to get these bases figured out and all my files prepped and and so now uh I’ll probably print these over the next couple of days cuz I’m probably a little bit over 3D printing honestly after doing all of French Crusade and now Crucible Guard. So I’ll probably be done with 3D printing. I’ll print the bases whenever.

Uh, but I’m I’m glad the rest of Crucible Guard is not coming until the 29th because I’m I’m over 3D printing, ready to put it away. Uh, like I said, still not 100% but getting better. This is like the first day it’s felt like I’ve improved some, but we hit 100 subs. That’s crazy. It’s awesome.

Thank you all. Thank you guys for subscribing. It’s pretty cool. Trying to get back to it. Uh, probably tomorrow.

I’m hoping I’ll be back in like the at least like able to live able to live normally by tomorrow. Today’s been a pretty big improvement. But I was thinking about it and and this board, I think what I’m going to do is I’ll actually get a crazy high uh crazy light dry brush, like a very light tan color, and I’ll dry brush it first and then oil wash it, and then I can just be done with it and not have to worry about the dry brush, and I can let the oil wash. Uh, but I’m really happy with how it looks from the paint. But now we just kind of dry brush
