CLEANING FDM 3D PRINT - RESIN VS WOOD FILLER DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-12-31 | My buddy from @toysontap5189 gave me his Astron figure to paint.Before I could paint Astron, I needed to clean the FDM print. I haven't really done this before so I thought this would be a great test to see if it's easier to clean up with UV resin or wood filler. My experiment comparing UV resin and wood filler for FDM print cleanup was quite the learning experience, even if both methods had their pros and cons. While I can't tell you definitively which is "better" since it depends on personal preference and the project, I can share some takeaways based on what I experienced:Similarities:Both methods require significant sanding, so get ready for some elbow grease!Both can achieve a smooth finish with enough effort.Differences:UV resin:Can be trickier to work with due to its quick curing time and needing a UV light.May generate fumes and require additional safety precautions.Can create extremely smooth finishes with proper curing and sanding.Wood filler:Easier to apply but can be lumpy before sanding.Requires a little longer drying times between sanding sessions.May not achieve the same level of smoothness as UV resin.Final thoughts:I found both methods effective and achieved a cool final result with your painted and weathered Astron figure! Ultimately, the choice between UV resin and wood filler will depend on your priorities. Personally I found the wood filler to be a little more work and a bit harder to work with. The resin brushed on easily and cures fast but can easily fill in fine detail if you're not careful. In the end, both methods can lead to stunning results with enough practice and patience. The final result looked pretty cool after I was able to paint and weather the figure.Be sure to check out @toysontap Toys On Tap for a great toy podcast!instagram.com/toysontapI hope you enjoy this how to video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"

Made a Robot from Trash DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-10-15 | A Wendy's Frosty cup and a Mini Verse toy packaging were used to create this custom-built robot with a teal and orange paint job, inspired by Star Wars D-0.I was enjoying a mini Frosty from Wendy's when I looked down and saw a robot plain as day.

I took inspiration for the bot from D-0 in Star Wars.I wanted to keep this bot a little cleaner in the design as though he was a household bot and not so much a battle bot. For the body/wheel I used discarded packaging from a Mini Verse toy. The overall finished custom build with a teal and orange paint job, with a light touch of weathering turned out pretty cool.I hope you enjoy this toy scratch build video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"
FURBY THE HUTT - FURBY ART SHOW DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-09-17 | I received an invitation to join an upcoming Furby-themed art show, organized by Toys On Tap and hosted at Toy de Jour. To kickstart my project, I was given an old McDonald's Furby as my creative canvas. While sifting through my collection of toys, I stumbled upon a Jabba the Hutt figurine I had found at the thrift store some time ago. In that moment, it became evident that this discovery was the ideal catalyst for a one-of-a-kind toy fusion. With that, I began the transformation, sculpting and painting elements until, in no time, I had brought to life what I affectionately call "Furby the Hutt." As a finishing touch, I created a bespoke throne to add a touch of refinement to this whimsical creation.I hope you enjoy this custom toy sculpt video!Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always..."It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"Toys On Tap:instagram.com/toysontapToys On Tap Podcast:https://linktr.ee/toysontapToy de Jour: instagram.com/toydejourBlack Magic Craft: youtube.com/@UC2Rlv-ug-mtnXuMwlpcqFgg #toysontap #toydejour #blackmagiccraft

I made BAD BARB - Barbie Android DR Toys - Custom Toys 2023-06-25 | For about three years I have had this idea to take a Barbie and turn her into an android. I can find Barbie's cheap at garage sales so why not make a custom toy out of one. Well, Bad Barb fought me to the end. Everything I thought would be great turned out awful but I wasn't gonna let Bad Barb get the best of me, so I fought back!Using a Zurg arm from the Buzz Lightyear movie and a little custom toy magic, I took this Barbie and made one Bad Barb! I also added a simple diorama base for her to stand on.Even though she was a pain, the end result turned out pretty cool (although not at all what I was thinking in my head).
