Not really. There are plenty of prices that will print for you at a modest cost. Yes there are other costs of design etc but much can mitigated with cheap/free software. Really just a modern version of home monkey metal casting. Canute, Old Collingwood and mtaylor 3 Quote Simon.

Within reason you can, commercial printers now have a 25 micron resolution limit, ie, they can print to .0025" Half the thickness of a piece of thin paper.... Anything is printable now, all that is left is adjusting resins to give the best results in most environments and making bigger build spaces, a complete technical engineering issue alone... And as we know, given time, those will be resolved... 3D resin printing is here to stay..... mtaylor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"
LED Posted February 19 #155 Posted February 19 Am I the only one looking down the funnels at those 'details' and noting a ladder... I think we just found the absolute worse job on the Dreadnought. Yowser, that would not be fun... mtaylor, Egilman, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote
RGL Posted February 19 Author #156 Posted February 19 Stoker would be the worst I reckon. Whilst I have zero interest in learning 3D printing, I see it as legitimate to the hobby as figure painting or busts. I can’t sculpt or draw but happy to throw paint on it.
