My secret to makeing perfect resin bases

Flat Resin Bases? Yes, It's Possible!

Printing large, detailed bases in PLA can be a real headache. That’s always my first thought when I need to print a base, they’re big pieces, so I usually go with PLA. But when you're dealing with something like this Terminator base, full of intricate details, PLA just doesn't cut it. You end up sacrificing qualit...

🖌️New video tomorrow. My secrets for printing perfect resin bases

The first thing I think about when I have to print a base is that they tend to be quite large pieces.

That's why I almost always choose to print them in PLA.

But, of course... not all bases are the same.

When trying to print something very complex in PLA, you inevitably have to sacrifice quality. Not to mention the more complex elements, which simply don't turn out well.
