mikegr Posted January 28 Author Share #91 Posted January 28 3d printing parts doesn't mean that are ready always there is work to be done in many cases Model boats were from an old era with planking effects on sides. So I had to sand them down to give the desirable plastic look.

mikegr Posted August 28 Author Share #92 Posted August 28 (edited) Lot of work small progress. Bridge part fell off, many pieces broken especially those made from older resin with 0 elasticity. All repaired, added communication antennas and radar masts. All cranes in place except those at the funnels. These are fragile need to tighten down with rigging.

Dr PR Posted August 29 Share #95 Posted August 29 What resin are you using now. Is it flexible when hardened?

mikegr Posted August 29 Author Share #96 Posted August 29 13 hours ago, Dr PR said: What resin are you using now. Is it flexible when hardened? I am using ABS like Anycubic. Its far more forgiving than the standard. Water washable only. Sometimes I add 20-25% of this https://www.resione.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor4fbt1yKBu436_fjSO-zH-xqWDL-jqFQZXMiapGbvLijodaTKF This is even more elastic any gives smooth plastic feel texture. Its also very quick maybe 1-1.5 sec per layer. However if you want to print long and thin items like masts, gun barrels most probably these will bend after curing so its not always the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
