What's the point of kitbashing if 3D printers exist? Give me your best excuses, boomers.

Its fun

it is a lot faster.

>>96332031 (OP)
Its significantly faster

What's the point of letting kids draw with crayons when cameras and printers exist?

what’s a printer

Printers need electricity, kitbashing don't. If you need electricity, computers and the internet to hobby you are a goddamn fucking secondary. Back in my day we used LPG to melt pewter for casting. Fucking zoomers, I swear.

Casting pewter? That's old.
I bet you carved your own senet box too

I use my 3d printer to make more bits for kitbashing.

>>96332031 (OP)
3d printers didnt exist in the old days, so kitbashing, sculpting and scratchbuilding was the way to modify things. Some of us got good at it and continue to use the kitbashing skills we learned because we enjoy doing it, Kitbashing is easy to do, cheap, a good way to recycle old models and spare bits and doesnt need an expensive, and fragile machine to do it.

Both methods are good and have their place though.

Perhaps they want to learn how to draw? Taking pics with your phone will never teach you that, you will always remain a skillless moron.

Don't knock it, it's an old and useful skill. I cast my own parts occasionally (space marine shoulder pads. decorative symbols to go on models, weapons, animal swarms, etc) instead of forking out a fortune to GW or Ebay for a few at a time..

Kitbashing is fun.

Why didn't George just print the falcon?

>>96332031 (OP)
None, except for faggots that want it faster, and it's all bullshit because I print in bulk (meaning I fill up the entire plate and eke out every inch of space), and I have more kitbashes for every single unit instead of doing them one by one.

I have a whole kitbash army in hours as it takes me to print and clean, while it takes one measly faggot days to give all his units a little skirt.

You can kitbash your 3D models digitally then print them

Its faster , you can create fun challenges to make something that "Fits" out of the materials you have at hand, you dont get bombed on resin fumes

>>96332031 (OP)
I bought some resin printed mini’s from a name brand manufacturer recently and they smell terrible. Not gonna buy any more and definitely don’t want to manufacture them myself. PLA quality just isn’t there yet.

Kitbashing is my favourite part of the entire hobby.

He's using sarcasm to point out how stupid the OP question is, dumbass.
