Finishing a Dr. Doom Mask with Resin 3D Printing | Part 1

Most of today's crop is hashtag-spam Shorts and vague teasers, but this one stands out as a genuine process video from a maker with real craft to share. Benski walks through the post-processing side of resin 3D printing — the part that separates a rough print from a screen-accurate prop.

Resin printing gets a lot of hype for its detail, but the reality is that a raw print off the build plate has visible layer lines, support scars, and a tacky uncured surface. Turning that into a smooth, paint-ready Dr. Doom mask involves a whole workflow: washing, curing, support removal, sanding through progressive grits, filling pinholes, and priming. This video specifically features an ultrasonic sander and cutter, tools that are becoming more common in the prop-making scene because they handle tight curves and recessed detail that regular sandpaper can't reach.

For anyone doing cosplay, prop replicas, or figure customization, seeing the finishing workflow demonstrated on a real, complex geometry (a full face mask with sharp facets and deep recesses) is far more useful than another "look what I printed" video. Part 1 sets up the base finishing — likely followed by paint and metallic finishing in later parts.

Why watch: A hands-on look at the resin post-processing workflow that actually turns a raw print into a display-quality prop.
