@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.
A&A 2nd edition custom Battle Board

I designed this battle board for the 2nd edition. Lets face it, the one in the box is terrible.
I had this printed on 6mm PVC material and it even fits in the box perfectly.Thoughts?

Wow love it. Can you share your source file?
-
@mondueo nice job!
-
@Quirky-Turtle Can’t give you source, but you can have the image if you want to print one for yourself. Print at 15.25x10 inches if you want it to fit in the box.

@Mondueo Thanks, I’ll use this. Just got Pacific & Europe 1940 to make Global Game. This will be a nice addition.
