Do you Print it all, then finish or do it in Sections? | Halo Costume and Prop Maker Community



I’ve printed the lower legs, Calf & Knee. We were going to start with the feet, but we don’t know what shoes we will be wearing… LOL

Should we start the post processing, um, process?
Or should I focus on getting everything printed first?

Do you find it works out printing it all and THEN do the sanding filling painting and stuff?

I’m looking at it in terms of sections: lower legs, thighs, arms, chest, helmet, boots,

I’m thinking print a section at a time. Then do about 60% of the post processing Filling, Sanding & Priming & Sanding & priming & Sanding
Then move on to the next section. Basically get the 2nd coat of primer sanded. And maybe a first coat of finish color.
I think it will be more consistent if we plan on Final painting & weathering all that at the same time.

Anyone have any feedback on what worked better for you?
I have an inconclusive list of reasons to do it each way. I’m looking for some feedback to push me one way or the other.

I have lots of time to get this thing completed before DragonCon 2025. But I need maintain a schedule or …. yea, it will be better if we stick to a schedule.

Thanks
