What's up with p-bandai? It's been in maintenance for like four days now.

so for cutting the nubs off, I saw a video that explains it can be done with an exacto knife or you could use sand paper instead. Which is the preferred method? I'm a bit nervous about using the knife and screwing up a part

Best is a combination of both. Cut your piece off the runner with clippers. Then cut most of the nub off with your knife and then file down the rest. This avoids stressing the plastic.

Yeah even with single-blade nippers like Godhand or DSPIAE you still want to cut away from the part itself to avoid stress marks then scrap and file the rest off.

I'm a bit nervous about using the knife and screwing up a part You can totally ignore the knife and just sand if you're not confident with a knife or just prefer to do it that way. It'll be slower since there's more nub to sand away, but no risk of gouging your part if you apply too much pressure or your hand slips. Nano glass files like the Raser or DSPIAE Siren take more material off and can speed this step up compared to using sandpaper. e: any file like the ones linked below can work too, but nice thing about the super-fine-grit hobby ones is that you won't need to follow them up with high grit sandpaper to polish the surface afterwards RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Apr 24, 2024 |

I really like using a glass file. Specifically these cheap bezosmart glass nail files because the black one cuts fast, and the clear one leaves a smooth finish. I usually cut the parts with a single bladed nipper, then hit it with the clear file and follow up with 3000-5000 grit sanding stick to match the rest of the parts finish. They need to be cleaned occasionally but rubbing a toothpick against the file and rinsing with water does the trick. Also, since they come in an 8-pk I can stash extras all over to help keep my fingernails pretty.

I get my best results with my Godhand when I can get it perfectly flush with the part. That leaves me with minimal cleanup with a fine-grit glass file.

To clean the glass files, try rolling a blob of blutack or other equivalent on it.

I'm a bit nervous about using the knife and screwing up a part To be fair to the knife, you can cause even more damage if you choose the wrong sandpaper.  Either method requires a lot of practice to minimize damage though, so if you want better looking nubs, you may have to make some ugly ones first unfortunately.
