These videos are so great. Never heard of Rub & Buff, but I can think of alot of ways to use this product. Tools, details, technique, hyper useful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Rub n buff is great. There are tons of uses for it.
Bro, thank you so much for making these tutorials. I just got my rub n buff in the mail and Im itching to try it
Hope you enjoy it!
Iâve recently gotten into 3D printing, and this is exactly the tutorial I was looking for to make my prints look metallic. Thanks a lot!
You're very welcome!
Great video! I am going to get some Rub and Buff. What an effect! Looks so cool. Thanks for another tutorial!
Itâs pretty great! Thanks again!
Dude thats hella cool. I've been learning soo much from your vids man. Stuff I've never though of using in different ways. Thanks man keep it up.
Thanks so much. Thatâs fantastic glad your able to pick up a few new tricks!!!
Thanks man. This is exactly what I was looking for
BRO, I absolutely love your channel, Thank you for the tutorial.
Thatâs awesome! Im glad you like it.
One thing you really didnt show was just how much shine you can add with some heavy buffing and heat. It can look like a mirror if you really polish it (AFTER) you are done applying it. This rhino came out really nice, just my 2c.
I see so many people missing that step and it is totally transformative!
If you dont mind, what's the process with the heat?
Great job! Love itâ€â€â€â€
Another awesome tutorial. Thanks
I always say itâs a waste of a day if you donât learn something, so I can check it off my list for today. Definitely learned a few things. Came out looking great. Love the other prints you showed as well
Awesome glad you liked it. Rubâs Buff is one of those staples that everyone that 3D prints should have. Such cool results for such a simple process.
Thanks for this video! The link to the spouncers came in handy. I had already ordered the rub n buff and received it, but had no idea how to apply it. Your video solved that!
Awesome glad I could help you out! Best of luck!
Don't know how i did not see this sooner !!! I did the Same Prey RockSteady Rub and buff and few other touch scaled up to 1/6 scale few years back I just compeleted the other pose of rocksteady Prey offered last month very cool to see what your doing !! Teaching people the power of Rub'N Buff I first learned of it's power from a Adam Savage Tested Totorial ...
Rubân Buff is amazing itâs something everyone should have in their arsenal for sure. Thanks for the comment.
LOVE your videos! You always have very creative and helpful tips!
Thanks so much! Iâm glad they are helpful to you!
Thatâs look awesome. I got 2 mandolorian helmets done. Iâm gonna try the ebony rub n buff on it. Great video!
Go for it! That would be sweet! Glad I could help.
really helpful! thank you so much!
Awesome glad it helped!
nice - thanks for sharing
You are a talented artist.
Thank you!
Great video much appreciated.
No problem! Hope it helped you.
thanks for the video .
Man I love your videos do you have any video tutorials on how to slice the models in half in case they donât fit on the printer bed this is something Iâve been looking for and your tutorials are really good.
First. Thanks so much. Iâm glad you find the videos helpful.
Second. 100% YES! I have this exact video on my list. Almost all my videos now are from my subscribers asking for specific videos. Your not the first to ask. My list is long but itâs up there on something im trying to do soon. Thanks for the feedback and keep the requests coming. Im truly trying to make videos people want.
Thanks again Chris.
This confirmed something I was having a hard time finding information on, namely that I can use a q-tip. I was considering using it on a prop but I couldn't figure out if I could get into the fine detail lines because the instructions kept talking about using fingers
You absolutely can. You can also use a paint brush. But be prepared it will ruin the brush. Good luck!
Amazing tutorial thanks !! Quick questions, did you applied a black primer or is it just painted in black?
Do you seal your prints after with a clear coat?
Does rub n buff require a base coat? Or can it be applied directly to PLA with success?
You have to admire this manâs confidence to declare his love for Ninja Turtles⊠that alone is worth a like.
Do I have to use black primer if I printed in white in order to use gold leaf?
What kind of paint did you use for the single coat you gave to the printed model?
Did you have to sandpaper the model first before you applied the paint?
Where did you get that Boba 3D print from? I'd like to buy it
At 1.25, how did you slice it in half? I think that's the last obstacle I have. For now haha. Great videos!
This is great, thanks! Did you sand or bondo your model before doing the painting?
Thanks glad you liked it. To answer your question no, all I did was prime it black, and then apply the Rubân buff
This is amazing! I can't really paint, due to a condition that makes my hands shake badly. But this... So amazing! Just started 3D printing, and would love to give this a try. Did you start by painting the model black? Or can I just use the matte black PLA that I have already?
Thanks so much for the comment. To answer your question. Yes I painted it black. I used a black matte rattle can then applied the effect.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe would it be as effective if I used matte black pla? Or is it always better to paint it black first? Thanks again!
@@dabruuzer sorry I missed that part of the question. I highly recommend priming the model black no matter the color of pla. The rub n buff doesnât stick the same as it does to a painted surface. That is at least from my experience. But I encourage you to experiment and try might work with the brand you use. Best of luck!
Really enjoying these videos. Been messing with rub n buff for years with pepakura and foam armor builds. But its always nice to see others methods.. Also something was off with your mic this time. When you were talking in the intro it sounded like you was in a tunnel. The tutorial part was good, just the face to face with camera parts.
Thatâs cool never really used rubân buff on anything else besides 3D prints đ .
Thatâs odd about the audio I watched it back and didnât notice anything. đ
@@ItsMeaDMaDe maybe it was just my TV. Cause if sounded fine except the first minute or so and the last. It was much quieter and came out muffled. Maybe my sound bar caused it. None the less it was understandable an enjoyable
Great one as usual :)
Can we make this process with any other paints, or it should be Rub N Buff specifically?? thxxx
You can use a spouncer with paint. But itâs more of a daubing you have to do with it. You canât really wipe it with paint it just smears.
So the base black coat was just using a spray paint can and no primer before the black?
I live in Europe. Can I use vallejo colors or similar?
That rhino is awesome
Thanks so much!
@@ItsMeaDMaDe when using rub n buff which black is best to use matt,satin,gloss please. Thank u
@@johntutin1906 Each type will give you different looks. I like to use Matt Black. Using a gloss paint will make the shadows shiny.
Do you need to add a finish on top of it?
Did you sand it before you Rub n Buffed?
Can I ask what black paint and primer you used on the model itself? I could have missed it in the video but I don't think you mentioned them?
I use rustoleum matte black 2X primer.
Do you need to varnish or anything after? Will it come off as you handle it or does it dry well?
Nope. Just let it dry. I typically give it 24 hrs then itâs good.
Do you have to paint it flat black before you put on rub and buff or can you just use black PLA?
If you use black pla it will have a different effect. You can do it it just wonât look the same.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe Thank you. Yes I am going the that âEastmanâ look. His prints are amazing.
Would this look or be different if you printed the model in black filament to start?
Nope. Iâd use the same process.
do you have to have a base coat or can you go on the plastic
I donât recommend it. You wonât get the same results. Itâs a good habit to prime everything to ensure the paint and rub ons actually adhere to the print.
6:50 đââ
This is what I want, thank you
P.s.
Rub n buff sold out , grrr
Awesome. Glad it could help. Sorry itâs out right now. Might want to check out the video i put out this week where I painted an AT-AT. I use a rubâs buff alternative.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe
Thank you , I saw that one , great vid too đ
where do you get all these stl's?
I have them in the description of the video.
not quite what i was expecting...
Correct me if im wrong but this can be done by simply taking silver paint and dry brushing it on. I was thinking this is a "RUB and BUFF" tutorial
So yes you are incorrect. You rub n buff is not a metallic paint. Itâs a metallic wax and acts completely different and applies different. It gives a finish that actually looks like metal. Metallic paints donât give the same effect. Using a dry brush technique with metallic paints will not give you the same look or as good.
Do you just let it dry or do you clear it
You just let it dry. I give it 24 hrs then you can handle it. You can give it a clear coat as well for extra protection.
I don't have rub n buff where I am, is there any substitute? Or what's the name of the material of rub n buff? Is metallic wax or what?
Rubân Buff is the brand. Iâm not aware of anything that you can substitute it for.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe I think it's called gilding wax but I'm not sure, anyway, good video as always, keep these awesome tutorials coming.
Natural kiwi and metallic powder
not many well ventilated areas in my 2 bedroom apt
Do you seal rub and buff
I do not seal it since rub n buff is a wax itâs not needed.
do you clear coat after?
I do sometimes. If itâs something Iâm not going to handle like this and set on a shelf I donât. If Iâm going to be handling it I do put a rattle can clear coat on it.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe I am making a prop Captain America shield that I intend to handle a lot. Thinking about using this on the epoxy resin back. I fear it may rub off on my hand and clothes when mounting to my back. Can you tell me what rattle can clear coat you use?
@@grayscalexlii yeah this is what I use. Here is the Amazon link but itâs also in most hardware stores.

Does anyone know if this was FDM? Looks too good it was probably Resin?
It is fdm. I printed it on my ender 3 pro.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe Wow that looks amazing. I have an Ender too. Cant wait to print it!
No one else going to comment on how heâs using the rub and buff on his rock steady?
So you done no sanding on the model
Nope. Just good print settings and a tuned machine.
