Here is a video that compares cheap craft paint from Walmart to miniature paint.

@zhunk Acrylic paint is water based so it shouldn’t even adhere really. I just printed it yesterday and haven’t painted a lot so I’m unsure.

@Bitswap they are that visible because it’s a functional paint cup that I printed in a day. I use the same printer and settings on my other models at slower speeds and it’s much better. Also that’s a multi-colored filament that may be affecting it too.

@Mautobu yeah all my prints are fdm. All my paints are cheap Michaels bulk sets. I might be upgrading those to something specific to painting miniatures soon.

@RQG love your user name and profile picture!

@Canopyflyer Awesome! I’ll have to check it out. I’ve been painting them with the cheap sets of acrylic paint from Michaels.

I’ve seen a few tutorials and they spend as much one like 1 paint color as I did on a whole set.

@VentraSqwal I bought a double sided set of 3 or 4 off Amazon for a good deal.

@versus I use the standard .4mm. as for the tiles I use anything compatible with open lock.

@lodronsi yeah! I have a few offers to buy paint and filament, so they must have!

@TopShelfVanilla I should have said my one of my other nerdy hobbies! Lol. My wife wishes I only had one.

@Piecemakers3Dprints @Ironside I rent and don’t have a safe space for resin and it’s vapors. I would have preferred one for sure.

@Ironside I purchased a set of dungeon mats off of Amazon. I used that for the back drop. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085198LF5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
