The most important thing about resin is not breathing it, especially if you're going to use that printer more often moving forward. Put it in a room you don't use very often and close the door so that any fumes won't settle down around your house.

@@domspeller6474 Yeah. Though, I should probably clarify that it's deserved shade on base, not on Mumbo. Him struggling with that build made for good content. Sometimes a failure is just as spectacular as success.
Amazing work! May I suggest something with resin printing? After you have solidified a model, hollow it again in your slicer (I like 3mm walls) and add some drainage holes. It saves a lot of resin and the solid interior isn’t as fully cured as the outside after it gets its second cure and can still cause splits. I’ve been resin printing for years as part of my job and it’s always a learning curve - you did a spectacular job and should be so proud of yourself!
First somebody printed DO2, now Gem's Castle. I can't wait for all the "printing hermitcraft" channels to do a collab and make the entire world download
No way, I'd guess it'd be best to pick and choose the interesting parts to print. Then do some work to shorten the distance and meld them together. Minecraft is huge.
The resin is not just toxic to touch but toxic to breathe. Resin printers contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in higher concentrations than FDM printers. VOCs are gases that can evaporate or leach out during the printing and post-processing stages. In large doses or after prolonged exposure, VOCs can be a potential health hazard. Please do your printing in a well ventilated area!
Another Issue that might have been contributing to print failure was that you were printing in front of a window. I have both and SLA and FDM printer, and I've found that for my Elegoo 1) any UV light from the sun can start the curing process so it would have been better to have the blinds closed until the hood was on for printing. 2) TEMPERATURE can cause warping and failure of UV resin. so even if you opened the binds back up, the heating and cooling sitting in front of the window could contribute to failure, other than those two notes, well done. hope you stick with the 3d printing its a fun hobby.
I love the way you show the whole process! As an avid Hermitcraft watcher, I love it when people outside of Hermitcraft talk about Hermitcraft and make videos about it, and your DIY projects might be my favorite Hermitcraft related videos I’ve watched! Using the timelapse and intro music of different Hermits for some of the segments was a really nice touch as well! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this!
Yes! I agree 100% it’s so nice to see hermitcraft content outside of the server 🥰 loved the music segments and this whole video so much! This video was really great for the in between season blues 😇

That's awesome! You got a lot of things right on the first try, considering you never used a 3D printer before, good job! There are obviously some pitfalls in the resin 3D printing process, some of which you've encountered, and which gave you some problems after printing. For example, if you ever decide to print more Minecraft exports (or anything else basically): large, flat areas are bad for the process because they start out as an incredibly thin, flimsy layer of barely cured resin that has to hold itself together and that has almost no structural stability when peeling off the film on the bottom of the resin vat, hence the warping on that one large, flat area. To avoid that, it is good to rotate the model such that none of those areas is parallel to the buildplate, for example, if printing a cube, balancing it on one of the corners and holding it up with supports should help a lot. Additionally, if you ever decide to print some bigger things or things that need to be strong (like cosplay props), I'd recommend the filament printers, since a) they are less messy, b) the parts are way stronger, c) you have way more freedom in certain areas, d) the material is cheaper and you don't have to print your models solid throughout. The resin process is better for miniatures and things with fine detail, that's why people often use it for DnD minifigs and other detailed stuff.
Yo thanks that's really helpful! I always saw people tilt their models but I thought it was something to do with the print layers. I'll keep these tips in mind for future prints :D
Hi, two points: 1) Thank you for showing the process of 3D printing and how the main struggle is with software programs. I need to learn 3D printing for my own business. 2) Don't ever feel bad about the tiny brush. My best painting that got noticed by a professional fantasy illustrator was done only using a 000 brush.
You do realize that this did not help me in convincing myself that I don't "need" a resin 3D printer..... This is such an amazing project and love the style and aesthetic you have for all of these projects! I am so happy and proud of what you have done. I discovered you through your recreation of Grian's starter base, and have been here ever since. Keep up the hard work! I hope to eventually have a portion of your skill in stuff like this!
I have a filament printer and omg I super want a resin printer. Like so much. I’ve just started watching, but just be sure you have better ventilation and stuff. Resin printers need more ‘accessories’ and space because they’re super toxic.
@truckerdave8465 I've actually done a little bit of research into resin printing, and I quickly learned about how toxic it was and the need for good ventilation. Appreciate the heads up.
Your minecraft avatar looks like she could be Grian's sister.... Nice choice of base to print...Gem is a wonderful artist and she'll be thrilled to see this I'm sure. Hopefully she does. Also, nice detail with playing Scar's Superfast Buildmode theme song quietly in the background.
My Uncle adores hand painting miniatures, he airbrushes nothing and his ombres and fades are fantastic, seeing you paint this made me think of him. He probably wouldn’t like the hassle of 3D printing but he loves the painting part. The addition of the hot glue felt so right!
You absolutely have to wear a respirator when working with any amount of liquid resin, none of the various fumes it gives off are safe no matter how you look at it. just PLEASE wear a respirator (made to filter organic vapors at least up to 20x the officially "safe" limit, or you’ll die anyway) or buy a laboratory grade fume hood if you don’t care what money is
I love this! Gem is great ❤ As a maker who knows a lot of resin people, I highly recommend getting a respirator and an exhaust fan if youre going to keep this setup in a space youre living in
If you're getting into resin printing I recommend transitioning from Chitubox to Lychee Slicer, it automatically detects and supports islands and cuts down on prep time immensely.
This is just an idea but, how about making the whole server as a miniature map irl. Like the miniatures you are doing but all put together to make a map possibly for DnD?
either print with a raft which is basically a angled edge so you can get your blade in easier OR get something like a magnetic flexible build plate that attaches and detaches and you can just bend it a bit and itll pop the models off easier
Greetings from the Warhammer 40k Fandom! We paint mini's all the time, it's a lot of fun once you get the basics down! You did great with this project!
Air-dry clay separates quite easily from resin prints, but superglue and baking soda is a better medium. (Wear a respirator though!) I'm not trying to backseat, "oh, hurrr durrr, redo the whole thing", just friendly advice for next time!
a bit more on this: the method I mentioned basically welds the two printed segments together, but it sands really well, so it's easier to reshape and sculpt than cured resin, which is relatively soft. Also, it produces a bit of heat, so it's better to use this technique sparingly.
Hey I know you said you just discovered that miniature painting as a hobby existed but I’d definitely look into getting the proper respirator and filters for that airbrush! If you plan on using it long term the paints you use might give you lung complications if you don’t handle them properly with all the spraying. Great video and nice work though 👍👍👍
A good tip that I do is to head up a little bit the build plate using a hair dryer and also is good to use a scraper that comes with the printer, just blow some hot air in the direction of the part of the print that is touching the build plate than use the scraper slowly pushing the scraper underneath the printed object.
1. Thank you for putting your hard-won problem solving process in the video for anyone who wants to try something similar! 2. This was amazing, the model looks great, and I’m subscribing. ❤
first of all, amazing video, second of all, thx so much for explaining the process and struggles you went through, some day I wanna print a minecraft base too and being told all the programs and magic buttons will probably make the struggle quite a bit more bearable if I ever try this.
I've owned a Mars 2 pro for a few years now and it's so nice to have! It's compact, decent build size, and once set up, very reliable. Haven't had a failed print once after I got the test prints working
i have been dying for someone to create a mini version of the hermits bases or minis in general so this makes my day. i love it and i also hope that your next challenge will go by nicely.
not only is the build absolutely gorgeous and a masterpiece, your video composition and engagement is incredible, i was fully emersed in the video the entire time, and it was very enjoyable to watch!! and your perseverance to learn and complete the project is astounding!! you've earned a subscriber from me :]
Now I really wanna organize a team of software developers to build a software program that will generate "solidified" and divided 3D print files from Minecraft files, basically what tou spent a week using 5 different software programs to do 😂. Modern problems require modern solutions!
Chitubox actually tells you an estimation of how much resin the print will use. There are fill lines in the resin vat that you can use to get the right amount in the tray.
What an awesome project! Thanks for showing the whole process including the struggles, the test projects, and the whole workflow involved! Really made the final result that much more satisfying. I need to try something similar one of these days!
You could have just used Blender to model in extra little holes in the floor of each level of the base that resin could leak out of after you pull it off the build plate, just takes some jostling around before curing. A lot easier than filling in the empty space, would have also saved resin. And the 'can't put the paint on too thick as it would be noticeable'. As a miniature painter, thin your paints and apply a few thin coats. Fine-tip non-poofy brushes are your friends, too.
WOW!!! Not only is the model extremely well made, but the way you shot the video and edited it was so cool too! I loved seeing the process. Great work!!!
my gosh this is incredible!! how much i wish i could have my own print(s) of my favourite hermitcraft builds watching gem's elven palace bloom through season nine was wonderful, absolutely one of, if not, my favourite of builds 💚
My first video ever and I ALREADY LOVE YOU! So funny and pretty and Determined personality AANNDD A GREAT RESULT IN THE END! You earned my sub lol, keep it up!
Absolutely amazing! Definitely subscribing! I haven't sifted through all the comments so I'm not sure if anyone's said it before, but: I recommend glueing parts together before curing your resin. That way the parts line up perfectly before the cure warps/shrinks things in a way that might make that harder later on.
big thing about open interior resin prints. make sure you have drain holes. if you don't the pressure inside the build will build up and eventually it'll pop open itself usually leaking resin over the place
it can either take a really long time or a really short time but regardless without drain holes its like having a resin ticking time bomb on your shelf
every time i finish one of your videos i just feel so inspired. like, i wanna make a mini megabase!!! you just have all these cool ideas that i could've never thought up in a million years. a river made of hot glue?? thats so smart!!! keep making these awesome videos
just got your video recommended. Next to the fact, that you looks absolutely beautiful and your smile/laugh is super cute, I loved to watch Gems Megabase coming together over the last 2 years and to see this heck of a difficult way to finally get this printed Megabase into the real world was just a magnificent experience. Thanks for your creativity to find solutions to these problems. Ill check out your prior work after this vdeo, but Im pretty confident, a follow here will be a good thing for the future to see more of this kind of content.Have a nice day
12:15 proud to say I didn't get bored at all in this video! its very well thought out and I loved it even though the topic only started halfway through!
The overcomplicated muti app process hits so hard for me, especially as someone who likes to mod games and consoles. I ended up making a folder in my downloads called "messy installs" for things I knew were gonna take multiple files or multiple applications
This looks amazing, I've wanted to learn to do Dioramas and that kind of thing, that's so much work but I'd say well worth it also have to say perfect timing with the new Season of Hermitcraft starting Saturday (February 3rd)
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 I'm sorry but I have to laugh! That one line when you were explaining the different programs you had to use and go from one to the other to the other to the other and found the "Magic Button" and then say, "For everyone who is trying to follow what I was saying, I'm sorry." That reminded me so much of me talking about my Knitting/Plastic Canvas/Crafting Projects that I do! And so many of the things that I can find and use to make other things without breaking the bank for my Cosplays. Plus, me going back to school for Graphic Design. And I'm here trying to explain all this to my Husband! This video reminded me of all that but not in a bad way and I just can't help but laugh! HAPPY CREATING!
this is so cool!!! absolutely loved gems build and it looks so cute as a minifig! also i loved the way you explained the whole process of learning how to 3D print!
What you have is a resin printer they are usually more involved, however resin printers can print more detailed stuff like miniatures stuff like that. For a beginner like you a would recommend a fdm 3d printer they are more straight forward and less involved, however they aren’t as good at printing detailed stuff. But they can print a lot bigger, the one I have is the sovol sv06. I recommend an fdm printer. Hope this was helpful.😄
6:50 This is my type of dumb humor yay, You have earned yourself a sub. Weird how your not at 1mil yet, very good video and im not even half way through it
*TRUST THE PROCESS!!!* Seriously though, I'm one of the peeps who met you through the Minecraft video, and realizing you made crafts on your channel I was amazed! As an artist myself (the drawing kind, i guess) it was so inspiring to see someone relate art to building. And THEN you go off and make my FAVORITE hermit's base!?!? Gem is my HERO, so seeing you make her incredible base is just AWESOME! Just the push I needed to subscribe
Ok you’ve got to be absolutely freaking out that scar and gem both commented and watched ! I sure am and I didn’t even make the vid ! Love your stuff by the way, I’ve been subbed for quite a while : )
That was absolutely amazing to watch, GG on the effort you put into that. I honestly had a chuckle at the dirt part, I was like be like Gem and trust the process just two seconds before you said it yourself. For a first time watcher, honestly was brilliant. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ah the joys of 3d printing. that came out incredible! ive never considered 3d printing anything from minecraft before. i can see why. props to you on sticking with it and being patient enough. i probably wouldve gave up after a day lol
Nice work! By the way, to reduce the mess, you can usually fit the resin build plate into the wash bucket upside down, then run the wash! Then you don't have to pry a goopy resin covered build off the plate :)
And you can leave all those supports on during the cleaning process too! Just print, place the whole thing in the wash bucket with lots of IPA, then run the cycle. The metal basket for the wash bucket should have a couple places to rest the build platform on
I was going to skip the sponsorship but then the music started and I couldn't skip it anymore 😅 Pls keep using the songs the hermits use in their videos, it really does make a difference 😂

The most important thing about resin is not breathing it, especially if you're going to use that printer more often moving forward.
Put it in a room you don't use very often and close the door so that any fumes won't settle down around your house.

Don't worry, Scarland fired all the lawyers so we had more money for Churros lol The castle looks fantastic and what a wonderful video :D
good, we need the churros.
Churros are always more important than lawyers. Good budget management scar!
HA! Now that sounds like a good business model right there. I'm so glad you liked the 3D print and the video!! It means a lot coming from you :)
Of course! We couldn’t possibly have lawyers instead of churros!

“Since it’s in the back…”
Ah yes, the true spirit of Hermitcraft is captured in this build.
Exactly my thoughts!
Grian: "I raised that girl."
@discochaotica "look at what you've done to my girl"
Not all the Etho heads 😭😭 I love that she scattered them all around her base, it made for a nice easter egg, but also nooo Ethooo 😂
She could've used commands to replace the head block with sand or air blocks.
the fact that the Scarland castle was just a side quest kinda blows my mind
The shade thrown on Mumbo's base was savage.
Deserved 😂
@@domspeller6474 Yeah. Though, I should probably clarify that it's deserved shade on base, not on Mumbo. Him struggling with that build made for good content. Sometimes a failure is just as spectacular as success.
a shade that the base does not produce

Amazing work! May I suggest something with resin printing? After you have solidified a model, hollow it again in your slicer (I like 3mm walls) and add some drainage holes.

That would just be absolutely insane but also the coolest thing ever.

The resin is not just toxic to touch but toxic to breathe. Resin printers contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in higher concentrations than FDM printers. VOCs are gases that can evaporate or leach out during the printing and post-processing stages. In large doses or after prolonged exposure, VOCs can be a potential health hazard. Please do your printing in a well ventilated area!
Another Issue that might have been contributing to print failure was that you were printing in front of a window. I have both and SLA and FDM printer, and I've found that for my Elegoo
1) any UV light from the sun can start the curing process so it would have been better to have the blinds closed until the hood was on for printing.
2) TEMPERATURE can cause warping and failure of UV resin. so even if you opened the binds back up, the heating and cooling sitting in front of the window could contribute to failure,
other than those two notes, well done. hope you stick with the 3d printing its a fun hobby.
I love that the moment you went for scarland castle, that ‘superfast build mode’ music started playing.

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTY!!! THE DETAIL IS SO AMAZING!! I can't wait to see what you make next!!
My first video ever and I ALREADY LOVE YOU! So funny and pretty and Determined personality AANNDD A GREAT RESULT IN THE END! You earned my sub lol, keep it up!
The fact that you used super fast build mode song on the scar section was peak
Absolutely amazing! Definitely subscribing!
I haven't sifted through all the comments so I'm not sure if anyone's said it before, but: I recommend glueing parts together before curing your resin. That way the parts line up perfectly before the cure warps/shrinks things in a way that might make that harder later on.
big thing about open interior resin prints. make sure you have drain holes. if you don't the pressure inside the build will build up and eventually it'll pop open itself usually leaking resin over the place
it can either take a really long time or a really short time but regardless without drain holes its like having a resin ticking time bomb on your shelf
I got to the point where you realized that right after I commented lol
I hope Gem sees this! This is amazing! Scar too, cause that little scarland castle is precious
every time i finish one of your videos i just feel so inspired. like, i wanna make a mini megabase!!! you just have all these cool ideas that i could've never thought up in a million years. a river made of hot glue?? thats so smart!!! keep making these awesome videos
this whole process was absolutely amazing, it looks so good!!
just got your video recommended. Next to the fact, that you looks absolutely beautiful and your smile/laugh is super cute, I loved to watch Gems Megabase coming together over the last 2 years and to see this heck of a difficult way to finally get this printed Megabase into the real world was just a magnificent experience. Thanks for your creativity to find solutions to these problems. Ill check out your prior work after this vdeo, but Im pretty confident, a follow here will be a good thing for the future to see more of this kind of content.Have a nice day
12:15 proud to say I didn't get bored at all in this video! its very well thought out and I loved it even though the topic only started halfway through!
The overcomplicated muti app process hits so hard for me, especially as someone who likes to mod games and consoles. I ended up making a folder in my downloads called "messy installs" for things I knew were gonna take multiple files or multiple applications
This looks amazing, I've wanted to learn to do Dioramas and that kind of thing, that's so much work but I'd say well worth it also have to say perfect timing with the new Season of Hermitcraft starting Saturday (February 3rd)
This is such a dope idea!! It always makes me so upset when series end and the mega builds are finished and forgotten about 😭
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 I'm sorry but I have to laugh!
That one line when you were explaining the different programs you had to use and go from one to the other to the other to the other and found the "Magic Button" and then say, "For everyone who is trying to follow what I was saying, I'm sorry."
That reminded me so much of me talking about my Knitting/Plastic Canvas/Crafting Projects that I do! And so many of the things that I can find and use to make other things without breaking the bank for my Cosplays. Plus, me going back to school for Graphic Design. And I'm here trying to explain all this to my Husband!
This video reminded me of all that but not in a bad way and I just can't help but laugh!
HAPPY CREATING!
Tip for painting minis. If you mess up, it dont really matter, you can paint over it and it will be ok.
this is so cool!!! absolutely loved gems build and it looks so cute as a minifig! also i loved the way you explained the whole process of learning how to 3D print!
I love that you used Howling as Background Music for thw Scarland print! The Result of the Prints is so awesome, I love them!
I love the use of all the hermits building montage music, makes me smile :D Looks awesome too!
15:10 The shade being thrown at Mumbo 😂😂😂
AMAZING JOB JESS!!!! It came out so well!
What you have is a resin printer they are usually more involved, however resin printers can print more detailed stuff like miniatures stuff like that. For a beginner like you a would recommend a fdm 3d printer they are more straight forward and less involved, however they aren’t as good at printing detailed stuff. But they can print a lot bigger, the one I have is the sovol sv06. I recommend an fdm printer. Hope this was helpful.😄
😂 Famous last words… “How hard can it be?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is epic also love the super fast build mode at the Scarland part!
6:50 This is my type of dumb humor yay, You have earned yourself a sub. Weird how your not at 1mil yet, very good video and im not even half way through it
*TRUST THE PROCESS!!!*
Seriously though, I'm one of the peeps who met you through the Minecraft video, and realizing you made crafts on your channel I was amazed! As an artist myself (the drawing kind, i guess) it was so inspiring to see someone relate art to building.
And THEN you go off and make my FAVORITE hermit's base!?!? Gem is my HERO, so seeing you make her incredible base is just AWESOME! Just the push I needed to subscribe
This is so unbelievably cool! There’s something wonderful about having a physical piece of a digital project
That looks fabulous and makes me feel how useless I just am...(I can't remember the word I am looking for for over 10min, for goodness sake!)
Ok you’ve got to be absolutely freaking out that scar and gem both commented and watched ! I sure am and I didn’t even make the vid ! Love your stuff by the way, I’ve been subbed for quite a while : )
That was absolutely amazing to watch, GG on the effort you put into that. I honestly had a chuckle at the dirt part, I was like be like Gem and trust the process just two seconds before you said it yourself. For a first time watcher, honestly was brilliant. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ah the joys of 3d printing. that came out incredible! ive never considered 3d printing anything from minecraft before. i can see why. props to you on sticking with it and being patient enough. i probably wouldve gave up after a day lol
that's so fun! the look really does come out as minecrafty
OMG! You are so insanely talented! I’m in an awe!
Your half up half down hair at 12 min is gorgeous!
I’ve wanted to print hermitcradt builds or worlds and I’m just happy someone got to it
This video was actually way more helpful and understanding how to 3-D print something, then taking a day and watching like a billion tutorial videos
I could see and hear Gem doing her intro trhough the build at the end haha
Realy great and inspiring work
An ENTIRE WORLD?
Nice work! By the way, to reduce the mess, you can usually fit the resin build plate into the wash bucket upside down, then run the wash! Then you don't have to pry a goopy resin covered build off the plate :)
And you can leave all those supports on during the cleaning process too! Just print, place the whole thing in the wash bucket with lots of IPA, then run the cycle. The metal basket for the wash bucket should have a couple places to rest the build platform on
This looks amazing. And I love that your process was conveyed very much relatable. Great vid!
You should do more hermitcraft bases from previous seasons, this looks amazing ❤
You can add fill shapes to cut down the resin you use. Saves materials (money) but should also fix the warping.
It turned out so good. Cant believe the dedication and persistence it would take to finish this.
I was going to skip the sponsorship but then the music started and I couldn't skip it anymore 😅
Pls keep using the songs the hermits use in their videos, it really does make a difference 😂
