    Just wanted to share my first resin print. Technology is crazy.

    As promised, my post about how to best get the fan-mode for the hands to fit/work.
    (I'll throw this up in the ER thread, as well as the UM Feedback thread)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So after fiddling with him for a long time last night, I determined this is the best and most efficient way to get the armor covers to stay in place over the hands, if you like this look:

    [​IMG]


    First, make sure the hands in truck mode are configured like this, facing downwards:

    [​IMG]

    and here:

    [​IMG]


    Next, you will want the forearm covers configured like this:

    [​IMG]


    Note the knurled pin, this will help you determine if you have it positioned correctly:

    [​IMG]


    Here is a look from the back/inside, while sliding them on, note the peg:

    [​IMG]


    Then, simply slide them on, all the way till they sit flush with the back of the truck.
    (NOTE: the pegs are NOT being plugged into the fist holes, as I originally thought they would. What is causing the secure point, is the peg pushing past the fist slightly, but the friction caused by the peg and shape of the fist hold it securely. I have tried EVERY configuration possible, and none create the same friction as this)


    They should be able to push up fully, sitting flush with the back of the cab:

    [​IMG]

    *you may need to open the armor a teeny bit to get the proper grip around the hand/arm. You know you have it right when you feel like push up completely, and "grab" a bit. They should be quite secure once done properly*

    Best part about it is, when connecting the rest of the trailer, if one of them should wiggle loose, or lose it's secure grip, you can simply peel back the top of the trailer like a sardine can in order to reach in and re-position it. This is made possible due to how the front two clips on the red part snap downwards, you merely are lifting it up to fix the insides. Pretty convenient.

    Here:

    I hope this helps everyone!

    Thanks. I have been on the fence about getting one, going back and forth if I want to get the Mars 2 pro now or wait on a Saturn once there's more available for purchase. Then there's the issue about getting a wash and curing station big enough if I want to do large prints.

    Well, the build plate is much smaller than a pla printer, so keep that in mind. I got a curing station when I ordered my Mars. Such fun though.

    Printing Cheetor's gut gun now.

    After months of owning Earthrise Scorponok I noticed that my copy had a little factory flaw - one of the leg panels was assigned incorrectly.

    But anyway, he's fixed now :lol
