Hi,
Again I’m looking for advice as I see an increasing numbers of prints made to be painted then.
What would you recommand for those prints concerning: the material, the finishing, the resolution and the paint.
If you have any experience concerning this project, I’d be glad to hear about it
Best,
Julie

I use the following for my figurines (see my hub, or look for me on the web
Material: ABS
Finishing: acetone vapor
Resolution: 0.1 mm layer height, 0.4 mm nozzle
Paint: acrylic
I painted my models, best suited for modeling acrylic paint.
This paint is suitable for all materials for 3D printing.
Thank you guys for your answers ! I’m sure it will be definitely valuable for a lot a people! cc @3Dmaker4U @ProCoPrint3D
If someone has anymore info to share, you’re welcome to do so
Hi Julie,
I don’t have the slightest talent for all this paint magic, but my wife sure does. She uses a primer spray on the models first. There is a brand especially made for miniature painting (eg: http://www.games-workshop.com/de-DE/Chaos-Black-Sprühgrundierung;jsessionid=B2C62C716B5B29F644A507895F3D252C 6) . Then she paints on it with revell model acrylic colors. these are quite expensive, but the results are very nice:

Airbrush on pla has worked for me so far…

Definitely you will want to sand the parts. We tried lots of different paints and very few didn’t work. One cool thing is to use Plastidip. !
Thanks for the input @Troadey
No, sorry, no time…
I think I will first try acrylic paints using a paintbrush… If it is sucessfull (which I think it would be), I will use an Air gun.
