Baba Yaga's Wandering Hut
Priming the Terrain
One of the first things I needed to do with the printed pieces was do a little cleanup.
My buddy shared that he was still dialing in some of the settings. He mentioned that the heat settings resulted in some unexpected expansion.
I busted out my files and sanded down the sides of the interior fireplace. Due to some of the expansion, I had to cut off some of the pegs that allowed the upper roof to attach onto the lower floor and glued in some cut paperclips. I drilled out the openings for the pegs too. I didn’t take any pictures of this process before I painted the building. You can see the pegs and holes after I painted parts of the buildings down below.
I also cleaned up some of the stray filament, but that was very minimal with this print.
After this cleanup, I used a can of automotive primer. This paint was designed as a filler. So it’s basically a very thick spray paint that you can sand. I sprayed this on all the pieces I’d be painting and skipped the sanding process.
