You curse, I cuss. With my best southern drawl, it's pronounced "cuss". The "r" is silent.- 1,090 replies

Have you started cussin' yet? Those parts flying all over the room are enough to make a preacher cuss.

And if the use of it is dedicated to smaller parts where greater precision is desirable, cost of material becomes much less an issue. Very interesting indeed.

Beyond the initial cost of those resin printers, there's the whole big issue of safe handling of the resin, respirators, etc. I have no concept for how much resin material would be required for a project. A liter of it is going for around $70 on Amazon. I had no idea one could buy an SLA printer for something in the $500 range. That's surprising.

I made a 1st time visit to a 3D Printing super store in my area yesterday. Wow, the printers and related materials/hardware they have there is astounding. Got quite a crash course in 3D printing from the friendly staff. There were incredible examples of all sorts of 3D printing with everything from simple to exotic mediums. The prices of the high end printers is extreme, but then again, producing prototype parts is an expensive proposition any way you look at it.

I have too many irons in the fire to join in right now. This 3D printer has me jumping through a lot of hoops.

I think you will like the Liberty Ship. Wish I had spent more time detailing my copy. Just threw it together and painted it, no rigging, no photo etch...and it still looks decent. Could be a great model if proper care to detail is given.

Agreed. Don't think it's wise to put too much emphasis on correct color using film that's made so deep under water like that with all the issues of light and shadows.

Oh yes, she's got lines like the Italian battleships....beautiful! She's a real eye-catcher for me.

Mighty, mighty fine, Capt. Popeye. You are going to have some nimble fingers when all that photo etch gets through with you. Wow!

I don't know, Neal, but whatever you're doing with your settings, it sure is precise-looking to me. Curious to know what nozzle size you're using now and what size you've set for lines. Are you using 1.75 filament?

And I have a 21 year old daughter who is still the pickiest eater I've ever seen. Guess she's still my kid.

Nightshade is particularly poisonous and deadly to cattle. When I was young, my father would walk our pasture to point out the nightshade to me. He then explained it would kill our cattle as they would readily eat it. He would quickly remove it once he saw it.

In the USA capsicum is called "bell pepper". I had to google capsicum to learn what it was. Never heard it called that before now.

That's some beautiful and inspirational 3D print work, Neal.

If you ever dropped one of those torpedo door covers on the floor...fugettaboutit. It would be history. Great job so far, Popeye.

Nice start, Popeye. Good grief, those parts are so tiny. Your guests will need super-vision to see your finished work when they visit your home.

Greg, you just keep getting better, more better, and more better good with your airbrushed hulls. You've really developed the talent and paint combinations for weathering, shading, and highlighting.

I've got to try their gloss when I get a chance. My LHS doesn't carry it and I haven't thought to order some.
