    Printing and Finishing

    Resin Print Information

    The print is shipped unpainted with 3D supports attached, and color images are for display purposes only. Carefully remove supports from the small details, clean the parts, and test-fit them before painting. Prime with a coating suitable for resin and use CA adhesive if attachment or minor gap filling is needed. Fine resin details can be brittle, so handle parts carefully.
