They are a perfect fit for his Lego Thanos Minifigure Gauntlet.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Formlabs</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> [Formlabs Form 2]</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 100um</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 100</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> [ Formlabs Durable or Tough1500 ]</p> <p>SLA printer notes:<br/> You will want to print with the face of the Gem towards the build plate.<br/> You can use mini or full rafts<br/> I was successful with two supports touching the face of the Gem<br/> The Durable resin will add some translucent effects if you use a dye to color. If you use a pigment or fingernail polish the Tough1500 will have a better defined edge.</p> <p>Coloring the Gems is the next hurdle ---<br/> Method 1<br/> -- use fingernail polish</p> <p>Method 2<br/> -- use CMY dye from inkjet printer -- I was able to dye with this method even after a cure<br/> As a side note make sure to wear gloves, or you will have very colorful hands for a week.</p>
