Help Ady get more creative
Donation protected
Hi All,
A few years ago now, I purchased my first FDM 3d printer - In the intervening years I've found this has been a great outlet for my creativity when it comes to modelling, this in turn has been a massive help for both my confidence and mental health - which is always good for someone with Social Phobia, Anxiety and Depression.
I love making & painting models, both for display and wargaming and also making parts for other people models.
The problem with an FDM printer is that they are not so great when doing really small details, which makes modelling and printing miniatures, especially for 1:300 scale and 1:120 scale particularly difficult so I found myself a little frustrated for the longest time.
You see, I've so many idea's I want to share for small scale miniatures and model add-ons that I can only get to work in larger scales - I've tried hand sculpting and hand modelling, but never found that I've been quite so good as I have with 3d modelling.
The pics on the header image are some of the models I've made for 1:300 scale - out of all of them, the humanoid models are all "just about usable" when printed on my FDM printers.
So, I'd been saving up to get myself a resin LCD printer which are capable of almost insanely good levels of details, and with prices coming down all the time it had almost got to the point where I could get myself the one I had my eye on.
Then disaster struck.
Two weeks before Christmas 2019 out central heating boiler broke down and had to be replaced - it turns out that it had also been leaking gas a little for a few months which had had a negative impact on everyone in the houses health.
That pretty much wiped out the savings and then some - 2020 is going to be quite a...frugal... year - pretty much all our plans have been cancelled thanks to having to find the several thousand pounds needed for the new boiler.
Which is where I come in asking for help - We have the cashflow sorted for the boiler etc.
BUT I'm asking for donations towards getting the resin printer and stock of expendables that I can use to improve something I love and support my own mental health
I'm asking for £350, which will go towards an Elgoo Mars - currently at £230 on amazon.
UV LED Light strip to create a curing box for the prints at £15
The Rest will be for Resin, Funnels & Filters, replacement film for the Vat, IPA alcohol to clean the prints gloves.
This would allow me to setup something I've been working towards for some time now until life got in the way and help both my creativity and mental health
