First 3D printing

[Johnny Mike]

I am building the Batavia 1628. And just printed some parts the first time for me 3D printing.

I am amazed at how good the parts came out. 

 

Some parts requiring high detail I decided to try what Creality calls wood.

The color and texture are exactly like wood. The surface is just slightly rough and a perfect match to wood parts.

One part I printed was the gun doors. I drew them to scale and added small lines to simulate the joint between boards.

The realist look is great.

I also printed the belaying pin racks with the holes to hold the pins and they are perfect.

 

This is my first try at 3D printing but I could not be happier.

It is a great addition to building tools.
