Finally Printing (Patreon)

The above image is of the scroll work off the Leviathan axe that was printed on my Anycubic Photon. It is great to know that this detail is know achievable so I will take more time to add details like this into my models from now on as I know this level of detail is possible.

As for the lighting, the two different EL panels I ordered were not that good so I will be using normal LED's. I have ordered a set of xmas lights that should do the job and they will be delivered by next week. In the meantime, I have printed and assembled the handle, seen below, and the axe head should be finished printing tomorrow so I will start covering the axe head to stop the light coming through the unlit sections. I have also put a coat of paint on one of the test blade heads to see how paint will cover the blade inlays and how that affects the lighting. Once I have the lighting sorted and it works as expected I will publish the files to you guys.

While I was waiting for the handle to print I started doing more on the Bioshock shotgun. I have completed the grip along with the section that has checkering and I'm now working though the detailing on the receiver end. 

Some of you may have seen on social media that I test printed some of the parts for the Clippard valves on the Proton Pack shown below. Once again I wanted to see what was possible from the DLP printer and seeing this I will be adding these types of details all over the proton pack making it look badass.
