    Interesting indeed. I can see two things wrong with it though, in this iteration (which, I suppose is a prototype?) - first of all you don't print handles like this. It would easily break. In fact, handles are usually an example on how not to align layers, for that reason. Easy fix though. The second problem might be bigger. How do you keep paint from getting into the gears and thus blocking them at some point sooner or later? Sure, having your finger on the one in the middle might work, but what about the others? And spray paint gets everywhere, while working. There's no way to "just take good aim" or something. I wouldn't want to have to mask them every time.

    • @Thearmedpainter
      @Thearmedpainter День тому

      @@Vortagh I’m not worried about the structural integrity, I’d be more worried about the gears but we’ll see how that actually pans out. Given a lot of the air brushing I do from the top angles I don’t think it’ll actually get access to the internal mechanisms easily. I’m going into this optimistic though as it is a new take on a paint handle and k appreciate the approach to innovation. We’ll see!

    • @Vortagh
      @Vortagh День тому

      @@Thearmedpainter I'm very worried about structural integrity, because it is also a very very thin stem at one point and I have had my share of breakages with my prints over the years. I think adding a steel rod would be a good idea. About the gears, if it's mostly from the top, maybe some sort of "thumb dome" that slightly over extends over the gears, might be enough.

    I’m new to BT and I love classic but not played alpha yet. I started with the beginner box with the Vindicator then got GOAC and CI after. Now I have the proliferation cycle and the urbies! Binged Tex Talks and so on. I think the other boxes have great value compared to most games especially if it’s classic you want to learn which was the case for me. I plan on getting Alpha not for the game but the mechs with an option to play alpha if I feel like it. This box is amazing and perfect for getting players into a game and other companies should learn from BT and I thought the other boxes were good to begin with. Catalysts whole approach for getting beginners into the series is something other games should try to emulate.

I also don’t have every video I’ve made memorized so context is important. I do these in my free time as essentially a hobby right now (I don’t promise tutorials to patrons because of the time investment) if I was being paid to make tutorials the polish would likely be different but as it stands, I do the best I can with the time I am able to allocate.

I just bought myself the Box for CBT usage (Gimme that Wraith!) The thing is: If you only play AS this Box is the cheapest, but i guess i am not the only CBT Player who watches, and new CBT players need the other boxes, due to the rules in it, if they don't allready have Total Warfare 😊
