    man, I just want to say you people are very talented. I'm only recently into 3d print and modeling and I hope I'm half as good as this one day. these all look amazing.

    *realizes the "post reply" button was never pressed*
    Dang it!
    Yeess!! It'll probably be the only way I can get Rosanna, Flip sides and Solarbot. Doing god's work!
    I've already downloaded a bunch of your cults files so when "the season of Wallet's weepings" is over I can find someone to print them out.
    *secretly waits for even more cassettes and gimmickmasters*

    Dumb question. Has anyone here printed their stuff out through Cults? I'm tempted but not sure how they do things.

    I have a new resin printer coming in a couple of weeks and I'm getting ready for it. Since I plan on making some heads that could be going on ball joints, is there a resin that's fairly inexpensive that can hold up to being popped on? I'd love to know if there's something affordable out there that isn't too brittle. I saw the Anycubic Eco resin is supposed to be a bit soft and giving after it first prints, then hardens more. Could that be worth checking out? I know this is a big ask since I've seen people printing full figures with resins around $80/liter but I wanted to see if you all know about anything good.

    I use a little bit of Siraya Tech Tenacious with my standard resin. Just mix a little bit with any standard resin and the piece should pop on a ball joint just fine. It may be pricey, but just using a little bit should allow you to get a lot of mileage from 1 bottle

    I don't have the link on me but i KNOW he's released it to the public for a very affordable price. Check his page or wait for him to respond officially.

    Glad to hear this works
    My other half and I had been discussing getting some of this to mix in due to breakages - sometimes I’ve had to redesign, other times adjust tolerances, and mostly end up printing multiple of pieces that see movement because I will end up breaking loads as I fiddle and try and fine tune.
    Will definitely be getting some of this stuff
    What mix ratio do you use? I’ve seen for 1000ml that 150ml is a good amount to be less brittle? cheers

    1/3 of Tenacious to 2/3 whatever resin you used. Honesty, you could use less then that as I haven't tested it less then that amount.

    Anyone know of a filament that's a good match to the Kingdom Titan Ark?

    Thanks, ya I saw that. Was hoping to find a non Silky PLA, I don't always have the best results with the silky ones, and they tend to be more brittle as well.
