Warhammer 40,000 - As of late I’ve been getting more and more 3D printed models on my table many of which have been unique sculpts rather than recreations of existing models. It’s exciting to see creative ways to “scratch-build” models. However with new technologies come new hurdles, for example, these models painted up really nicely, but after i took photos and packed them up for delivery I ran into a major issue.

When moving the box I had these models packed up in I noticed the bottom of the box was wet. Odd, I thought not seeing anything else in the area that could have caused to box to get wet. So I opened it up to investigate and saw everything was covered in a grayish slime. Confused I removed the models and noticed several seem to have exploded, bursting open.

After posting some photos of the mess on some other groups I learned that this is common with resin printing it something is printed “hollow” without holes. The resin inside doesn’t drain or cure so it can swell and cause the models to “burst” open.

I now have them sitting in the sun to see if I can get the mess to cure and potentially fix the models by adding more gore.
