Making Figures with SLA Resin Printing

Well Done. I would love to get an SLA printer. The resin cost makes it difficult to justify.

Do the faint lines go away after painting? Been thinking of getting a Tevo Tornado or Creality CR10 (I know, very unoriginal lol) and they seem to have slightly "lower res" prints than this, wondering if a little primer and paint would even out the surface.

Do you model too? Obviously you're getting great prints, would be so satisfying to see something more exciting than another milquetoast superhero pop out of a 3D printer.

I haven't painted it yet, but there are pictures of figures printed in resin that have been sanded, primered, and then painted. The lines don't show in the painting.

This isn't my thread but the lines can go away on 3d printing by one of two ways priming with a primer filler and then (Sanding I use 330, 400, 600 and then 800 grit sand paper) or using a resin filler like XTC 3D :-) (XTC is a tad messy and stinky but it does the job). I plan on getting a creality here shortly but I have two flashforge printers that were great for me as a beginner. I've seen much better resolution on this style of printer but the resin raw materials are a killer for me since my throne costs would go up

Thanks for the info. I want to avoid all that sanding because it's a hassle having to sand small intricate things like heads and hair.

Ultimately I'd like to print props and statues, so I'm hoping to get a print quality good enough that any lines/grooves would just get filled in by a few coats of paint and sealer, with minimal sanding.

Looks good!
