Yoshi 3D print

Robin (WhiteGlint)
3D printed Yoshi to gain some more experience with resin figures.
Especially with cleaning and (brush) painting.

Here my job cleaning was not the best one and I need to be more diligent in the future.
I had less problems with my Catapult.
As I don't want to work with lots of isopropyl alcohol I cleaned Yoshi in warm water with dish detergent.

Some varnish will hopefully solve my problems as this little guy still is a bit sticky, even after the paint has dried.

Do you have a cure machine or uv-light for curing the resodue resin?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Yes, I use the Anycubic wash and Cure Station 2.0.
But even these tools need to be used right. 🤔
I think maybe I didn't clean good enough and did not cure long enough. Though curing too long should make the parts very brittle, I believe.

Ok that's strange. Although I'm not an expert and I don't own any 3D printer. I have been dreaming of resin printer but my apartment is too small and I'm afraid of fumes. Maybe Santa will give me a garage some day...

Robin (WhiteGlint)
As I use the printer inside my house as well and I am not a fan of toxic fumes either, I use only plant-based resins which are not toxic.
But it still smells bad, especially when removing the cover from the printer after the print has finished. 😄
Using some protection like gloves and a mask is still very much recommended.

Working with plant-based resin may be an option for you.
The printer I am using is quite small too, so the parts I can print are not that large either. If you want I can provide you some pictures and measurements.

Thanks! You can PM them to me. btw what is the source of that Yoshi's 3D-model?

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Yoshi's from Thingiverse.

I'll write you a PM regarding the printer and so on.
