This is a first look at a product that is new to me. Badger 3D Primer. This stuff is intended for priming 3D prints and is a two part system. Badger recently had one of their occasional blow out paint sales so I bought the small size pack (2oz) to try on the slowly growing pile of 3D prints I’m accumulating.
I’ve found almost nothing about this stuff online. There is a three hour vlog by a figure painter, but I lost patience trying to find any reference to the material. I found two short text review posts. One hated it, one loved it. Both use and like Stynylrez.
From left to right is “Translucent Surface Smoother,” white, gray, and black primer. At first look the primers look to be the same as Stynylrez. Badger says that they are different in that they adhere to 3D prints more aggressively.
Whereas Stynylrez has brushing instructions these materials only have airbrush instructions. Namely, don't thin, #5 tip, 20 to 30 psi. Three light coats of the surface smoother which is allowed to cure 6 or more hours. Followed by one covering coat of the color primers which is allowed to cure 90 minutes before applying top colors.
Of course I’ll report back when I’ve actually used the 3D priming system.
