Update:
Dammit Borderlands 3. Why did you have to release while I am trying to finish my PS2GO?
Uploading some pics of the first and second layers of paint.
The first layer revealed that the paint did not have enough viscosity to fill in some of the first layer defects caused by my print bed having a damn .3 mm hump in a place that makes it impossible to calibrate out. It causes the first layer to look like it is over-extruding in some areas and under-extruding in others.
First layer:
On the bottom half you can see where it looks like there are gouges in the paint or plastic. That is the defect caused by the print bed.
Second layer:
I sanded the first layer and used contour putty to fill in the defects where they appeared then used a razor to scrape the excess from the surface leaving a nice smooth face to paint. When this layer is dry (tomorrow or Sunday) I’m gonna sand it again with 1000 grit to remove the excess paint/drips in certain places and then do some detail/trim work with a brush.
Gotta finish this portable before October 11th so I don’t have to pack it into boxes in pieces before I move and start my new job.
