BrochBoating Posted February 19 Share #151 Posted February 19 4 hours ago, shipman said: No doubt this tech is here to stay and will develop, but it is another aspect of the hobby only accessible to those with deeper pockets than mine. 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. mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Canute 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, Old Collingwood, Canute 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LED Posted February 19 Share #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.

RGL Posted February 19 Author Share #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.
