Oh and that bottom fan blows in to keep the pc board cool. I left that as is. The inline fan has enough suction that no air escapes out the bottom. I think I might be able to vent out a window -- To recap -- you use the built-in fan to blow air through a 3D printed "adapter" connected to dryer hose -- this could be vented out a window, right?

What about the prints? Is it true you have to wash them 3x in alcohol baths and then set them outside in the sun to "fully cure"?

Meph Can you please give us an honest assessment of the mess/chemicals/smells associated with resin printing? I'm interested, but I'm getting mixed messages from what I read online. I alternate between, "that's not too bad" to "OMG it sounds like a superfund site."

I used an old CD case as a wet palette. I had to seal off a few gaps with hot glue, but then it held the damp paper towel and sheet of parchment paper just fine.

thanks very much sgtslag and skunkape for the info!! i checked on internet as well ( dont know why i didnt do it before asking here on the forum uhmmmm=( so i understood is a kind of silicone...even i found a place close where i work that sell this product, with a pistol! problem is that´s expensive stuff for me...i will try to find something similar ( and cheaper) best regards!! Sorry about the delay and thanks to everyone who replied --
It's less than $2 per tube. My 3'x4' mat used one tube (not fully coated) Probably 2 tubes per 4'x4' section is a good rule.
Definitely avoid silicone and buy something that says paintable.

I made one with the latex caulk -- I used some cheap Matchbox to make tire tracks in the caulk. Highlighted them with drybrushing. Turned out nice.

Here's the one I watched awhile back -- Lowes in Canada is cool... Hey, thanks for posting that! I think it's kind of interesting that in Canada they've got a promo ad where pre-teens make a battlemat for 40k. Just cool.

I saw a YouTube video a few years back from one of the 40k guys I used to follow using caulking on canvas drop cloth to give it various textures, then painting it and finally being able to roll it up like you did. I found the video that I was talking about, -- Here's the one I watched awhile back -- Lowes in Canada is cool...

Sorry guys, I didn't take enough pictures for a step-by-step, but I'll describe my process to you below. I went to Harbor Freight and I bought a 4'x12' canvas drop cloth. ~$8
I went to Lowes and bought a couple gallons of mix-mixed latex paint. ~$18 (but I have 95% of the paint left for other future projects...) I already had the "martian orange" color from a past 40k project. I cut the canvas into two 4x6 sections. I later cut one half into two 3x4 sections. I actually ironed them a bit to take out the really hard creases from sitting in their package.
I roughly and incompletely painted both canvas sheets with a darker base color. I didn't try to cover up the natural color of the canvas in some places. Then I painted on the tracks with a lighter color. They roll up nicely and I think through use they are even going to be more flexible and will lay down flat.
I have some natural sponges so I used them to make some green foliage using craft paints.
We're playing on these tonight, but I think they are going to be great.

I hope when this forum grinds to a halt, the content will be left up for others to find by searching. There's some wonderful, inspiring stuff in here. I'd hate for it to vanish from the web.
