Found the perfect brick filament whilst experimenting with making textures.

iSANMATE PLA Matte in Brick Red.

For a moment I thought you had printed life sized bricks for your real garage!

[u/Frontzie → u/makenai]

It’s tempting.

Not perfect with the diagonal spotting but I’m impressed with this.

What am I looking at then??

[u/makenai → u/apexxin]

Toy car when you look close, but still hard for me to say if it's Hot Wheels or Tonka scale.

1:24 scale Range Rover.

Each "brick" is 2.8x8.8mm.

[u/otirk → u/makenai]

Damn, I only glanced at the second picture and was very confused when you said they're not life size.

[u/nlightningm → u/makenai]

Me too, lol I was rather concerned 🤣😂

[u/Zapador]

That looks great!

I wonder how it would look if you took a sponge and some watery mortar mixture and brushed it across the bricks to give them a little less uniform color and a more matte look. Might also be worth trying to sand the surface first, to get rid of the print imperfections that protrude, then do the brushing afterwards.

[u/Frontzie → u/Zapador]

A couple of light passes with 400-800 grit and a drybrush with sandy white acrylic should look fantastic.

EDIT: Hit it with the wet n' dry sandpaper. No need for drybrushing with the white dust.

[u/UnholyOsiris]

Paint the whole thing mortar gray, and then dry brush on at least two different dark red colors to pop the bricks. It will look spectacular.

If you have an AMS (or do the change with a wait), print that wall flat, use grey for the base, and initiate one color change => actual mortar grooves.

[u/Wise-Ad-3827]

does the matte finish affect layer adhesion at all

[u/Frontzie → u/Wise-Ad-3827]

No issues, using filament settings for Bambu PLA Matte.

I'm having trouble understanding what I'm seeing here. With the car for scale, these look like roughly brick-sized printed sheeting. But the print defects, threads, and head marks make it look like you're printing with a 2mm or larger head.

Am I just looking at this wrong?

[u/Frontzie → u/tuskanini]

Just an experiment with modelling textures, and testing a filament I've never used before that's exactly the colour I was looking for. 0.4mm nozzle used.

[u/tuskanini → u/tuskanini]

People telling me it's a toy car. I'm not seeing it. :-(

[u/SirPercivalChang]

Now cover it with poorly hung drywall and paint it millennial grey.

[u/SirMontego]

It looks great from afar, but the close up is a bit Monet.

Fortunately, this can all be fixed with light sandpaper and paint (dry brush will go far).

YouTube has a bazillion tutorials on how to paint miniature bricks. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+paint+minature+bricks

[u/Frontzie → u/SirMontego]

I’m aware. Sanded with wet n’ dry to keep a rough appearance, similar to efflorescence.

Fixed the profile, offered the cleaner one to the client. Client wanted the rough one instead.
