I've released my Ark of the Covenant 3d Files

[kevin926]

Are there a settings list that go with these files or instructions. My Angel bodies are showing almost 2 days to print so I am guessing I can modify these infill settings or something. What am I missing?

I did this with my idol same exact way. I don't think it will be a good idea with such a large area. It was hard enough to blend a small piece

Im just using gold spray paint as the final step. Not the varnish and food colollring. That white gloss and silver metallic paint makes the rust oleum metallic gold really pop.

If you're feeling adventurous-try a nice shinny yellow in place of the white and tell me what you think after-- I picked that trick up from a train specialist

Interesting. I have been thinking about doing some more paint testing.

yellow makes the chrome-silver or aluminum pop

I'm very curious to see how the weight of the plywood holds up with 3d print finish pieces

Im working on a yellow base coat and a triple glaze coat over white right now. We shall see.

I went with MDF.

These 3D print pieces are very beefy. Im not too worried about it. I'll figure it out one way or another. I've been in construction my whole life. He'll I pretty much built my own house. I got this. Lol

Here's the top piece, printed in two halves. You can see the gap. Not sure what glue is good for this. I tried a crazy glue clone glue, and it didn't hold. The warps pull the two pieces apart.

It's looks so good. I use Dap Rapid Fuse on all my 3D prints. If you want something super extreme use Loctite ultimate! That stuff is durable as hell!

Here's where im at. Just put the final pieces of the lid together and testing some yellow and high gloss undercoats.

I'd make a few changes if I did it again. But overall, it's going to be a nice chest. Just need to do the Angels.

Can I ask how you did it, and what you used?


The last post had you using a yellow?

I didn't notice a difference in using yellow. So I went with the original plan. Grey primer. White gloss coat. Metallic silver coat. Gold metallic coat. All rust oleum.

Sweet!!!!!

Thank you sir
