My top 3 tips for printing it: 1. Hollow everything! I used about 3-4kg to get to this point, including loss and fails. Printing solid will run you 10kg+ easily. It's also kinder to your printer, and makes building easier imo. 2. Drainage holes are probably the most important thing to think of. Orientate your files so that as much resin as possible runs out to a central drainage hole. Other holes are beneficial for easy internal cleaning 3. Expect it to take a few weeks to print if you work full time. Due to the size of some of these parts, you could be looking at 10 - 15 hours to print certain bits, and we all know we can't be bothered to sort out a print after a stressful day. I'll likely do a Q&A vid soon as I've had great questions about it, so keep an eye out for that!

I actually didn't consider a black theme... That's an interesting idea. And I call myself a Chaos fan?!

@DireDiceTabletop 1st time seeing your video, the 1st thing that came into my mind was black Legion, but you could do nurgle them on it, but if you think an imperial theme would do great then I would believe it was bad that trun good but that would be hard because the imperial would try to kill it because it was bad. (I did my body is silver, and the top was black and the armor red and the trim of the armor gold, and then any other color would be the lights and stuff but my looks completely different from yours lol. Is yours 3D printed ?)

I've got multiple armour sets to go on the model, so this way it gives me a large contact area for the magnets on the armour plates to stick to. Saves having to perfectly line them up and having to use different sized magnets 😊

I reckon a Union Jack themed Imperial Titan would look awesome 😂

Grandfather Nurgle shall be pleased!

I got wrapped up in trying to edit the files - I'm not skilled enough with Blender 😂 Let me know if there's a way I can follow your progress!

This way I don't have to worry about perfectly lining up magnets, or using multiple different sizes for different parts. As this will end up having 3 different armour sets, it makes it easier by not having to worry about being too accurate 😊

Hi again Speed Demon. I sadly won't be sharing these files as GW has taken them down, so don't want to anger them by being seen to share them and potentially mess up the channel. They're still out there though, and there's people who can point you in the right direction

Good idea! Should easily be doable given the armour can be removed 😊

🤣 I can't unsee that now. Dental plan!

Thanks Bob! I make sure to mask up and vent the room the best I can, but agree that more could be done! Full Breaking Bad outfit soon perhaps? 😂

@@DireDiceTabletop that would be a cool look :D the only time I can see your head in the video at around 2:00 you dont wear anything so I was worried because of that

By covering a large area with a magnetic metal, I don't need to worry about having to perfectly line up magnets. When I come to do the other armour panels, this will make life much easier by not worrying so much where I place the magnets. It also saved me buying multiple different sized magnets and having to figure out different ways to fit them 😊

@@DireDiceTabletopquick question would it be possible to get the Stl file in some way

Ooh this is just the beginning!

Tell me about it, I still haven't found anywhere for it to go! It's nuts when you stand a Guardsmen between the legs... Hey... I think you've just given me an idea for a short!

Thanks Fismit! Great to have you here

All resin printed! Unfortunately these files have been purged from most of the Imperial archives by the Inquisition due to their heresy. Records still exist of what was purged, and they can be found. To avoid angering the Inquisition any further than I already am with this series, I sadly will not be sharing these records. Hope you understand.

Not much compared to what I've seen others use who have done this. I hollowed nearly every part between 1.2mm and 2mm depending on whether they needed more strength (legs) or not as much (armour panels). This is all resin printed, no PLA, so all in all (including loss and failures) it's between 2 - 3kg - about £80 worth! I've got plans for a further 2 sets of armour panels & heads (Imperial and a little secret 😉), as well as about 6 swappable weapons in total. I estimate all of those will use another 2kg of resin when printed hollow.

😂 it definitely felt like I needed a third hand! Thanks so much for this advice, it'll definitely come in handy for the weapons!

Thanks Paranormal! 👊

Good algorithm 😂 be great to follow your progress with them too!

Thanks so much for your kind words Elmo!

Hindsight is always 20/20! Thanks for your comment, looking forward to sharing more 😊

Not as neat as you 👊

Thank you Mr Cat, means a lot! I'm new to this, so learning every day. Hope to see you on the moon someday 😉

Thanks mate!

Glad it was helpful!

Nah.... 😘

Hey mate, thanks for your comments! Hate to be that guy, but I gotta be that guy for the sake of the channel and be careful what files I share/promote. Unfortunately this one was purged from the purple site by the Inquisition due to it's heresy, so I don't want to be wrapped up in that and jepodise what I'm trying to do here. The STC is out there though, and I've Readit can be found... Hope you stick around to see more of it! 👊

Heard good things about Biostrip, I'll have to give it a try!

Yes! Though some primers may take a bit more work to get off than those specifically designed for use on models. The steps are exactly the same, just need to repeat it a few times.

Thanks so much! 😊

I've got vivid memories of pinning a Daemon Prince when I was about 9/10 using the original GW pin vice and brass rods 😂. It didn't cross my mind to do it for this! I'll definitely do a pinning video at some point - Amazon sell multi-pack sizes of carbon fibre rods which are brilliant for it. Thicker ones also make good flying stands!

Thanks! Makes a nice change sometimes from ruined cities or barren lands! 😂

Thanks Aatto!

Heat is the biggest game changer I've found with stripping. Don't take the cleaner home, bring your models to work! Clean on company time 😜

@@DireDiceTabletop the great ideas just keep on coming!

I didn't know there was another name for it! Crazy it's illegal for you, what's the reason for that?

@@DireDiceTabletop Quota-filling environmental legislation. People use it as fuel in camping stoves and it lets toxins out into the atmosphere as it evaporates.

Thanks! You keep up being awesome 👍
