Anybody printing in brown resin?
I'd like to find a brown resin that would be good for printing basis, but looking on Amazon, brown seems to be a rare color. There are plenty of bottles that look brown but actually contain beige resin. So far all I've found in brown is the Rich-Opto brand, and it seems to have a lot of scary 1-star reviews.
So... any success stories here? Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Anybody printing in brown resin?
Two reasons I want to try printing bases in resin:
1. Most of the filament-printed bases I see in various photos have really obvious layer lines around the edge. 2. I don't have a filament printer. Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Anybody printing in brown resin?
My dad and I also use colored resins and weren't able to find any brown. Not sure why. We print out bases in gray and use them like. I guess you could paint them brown if it really bothers you. Not a very high skill paint job. Personally I have no concern with looking exactly like official scape and I think the gray looks nice without stickers.
One thing about resin bases is that they can be kind of annoying to scrape off the build plate. 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt. Ernie Calhoun |

I use this. Its a little darker, but barely enough to notice unless you're specifically looking for it.

Re: Anybody printing in brown resin?
So I ended up purchasing this PLA from Ziro
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086JJ1P8C...t_details&th=1 It's a little lighter than the Heroscape brown. I wouldn't be so picky about it if I was just trying to print off bases, however I want to 3d print some terrain that will match. On the Thingiverse details page the author recommends Light Brown from Inland. Going to return the first one from Ziro and try that next. |
