Hi guys

I bought a Creality LD-002R 3D resin printer 2 months ago, it has become a whole new hobby onto itself, and wow, this thing prints very nice minis. Its very easy to get carried away and start printing all sorts of stuff, so I am limiting myself the following projects, and here are pics of the last 2 months prints.

1) 15mm 40K project, I started this 10 years ago, and got quite a lot done, but as everyting was converted it was very labour intensive, so eventually tapered off.
2) 1/72 Post apoc, this will cover everything in this genre, zombies, gaslands, fall out, anything wastland warrior
3) 1/72 WWII vehicles and terrian.

These are the prints 15mm Blood Angels, working on the 1st (Terminator/Death company), 2nd (regular) and 10th (scout) companies along with some Titans in support.

Wow, that's impressive! I've been considering getting a resin printer myself. If you were to start over, would you get the same printer / size again or something different?

Very impressed, I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3d printer too. Well done!

Not sure about other printers, but apparently the Creality lcd-002r (my printer) is one of the easiest to set up, literally just need to attach the build plate which take 5 seconds, and do a quick test to home, it come pre levelled, also, one of the things I was dreading was what I had heard about smells and fumes, there is no smell with this machine and the resin I use, I set it up in the garage with this in mind, but would have no issue setting it up in my hobby room, (on smell alone) I'll leave it in the garage as it's a good place for it, and I probably don't want to be breathing the fumes all day, smell or no smell.

The output looks seriously impressive. I never really had 3D printing pegged as plausible for actual 15mm figures (at the moment). It's making me wonder if I should reconsider the idea of a 3D printer! But frankly given the rate at which I lurch between projects it might be best if I don't…

Wow! That's some collection you've printed!

Gunner Dunbar, what brand of resin do you use? I had a lot of issues with smell using Wanhao resins.

Gunner Dunbar16 Dec 2020 12:01 a.m. PST

I buy my resin from Aurarum, water washable light grey, I believe they make their own, hardly no smell at all.

Thank you very much!
