Nuclear waste drums

I created these nuclear waste drums specifically for my LEMAX Train. This train is part of a set of Christmas Village accessories available exclusively at Canadian Tire in Canada, where you can find them by searching online. Keep in mind that this collection is only sold during the holiday season, so the link may not be active when you visit it.

Drum covers are a key feature of these drums, and they're stamped with a distinctive nuclear logo. To make them, I used 5-minute epoxy glue that was stained with a dark brown pigment. For easier flow, I warmed the resin/stain mixture before adding the hardener, which transformed it into a liquid that sets in just one minute. Alternatively, you can use a black Sharpie for an even simpler solution. As a fun touch, I added a cute spill design to my drums. My green filament shines beautifully under UV light, making them a stunning addition to any Christmas tree. To get the best look out of your prints, be sure to set "Top/Bottom" and "Bottom Pattern Initial Layer" to "Concentric" in CURA.
