michaelc Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Dennis thanks for the heads up on the build! It's brilliant! - research wise and printing. I am looking at a 3 D printer with an eye to creating a model of Pavlov's House. This will match a boardgame / wargame about to be hitting its second printing. The printers I'm looking at are capable of using resin, which will be fine for me as in the past I have completed several monuments, such as trilothons and the Standing Stones of Stennes. I have only scanned the the thread, I'll be going back tonight and read through it fully! Yes, the Vixen does have the Capt. Scarlet sense about it. I think that once the best file for the printer is found, then it's moderately plain sailing - this from what I've read. There are some machines which need careful cleaning after each job, or those that need constant tweeking and I think that is part of the attraction for some hobbyists. But, if the 'best' (for purpose) machine is identified, then there's a world (a Brave New World) to be designed and printed. I also like the idea of leaving the machine to slowly create the print overnight as well, I'm not one of these people in too much of a hurry. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some more examples here is my other thread on some planes True about the tweaking and tinkering - pretty much the same as model making in that there are a lot of people who enjoy the add-ons and the printer equivalent of etch, scratchbuilding and aftermarket add-ons. My printer is a Creality Ender 3 Pro with no modifications at all (ok, a metal extruder when I finally wore out the original plastic one) and I’m thinking about getting an Elegoo Mars to complement it once I get some workshop space with suitable extraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 @Tinners - Designed with 1/35 FDM printing in mind but would this work in your planned 1/350 diorama if resin printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinners Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I can give it a go. The resin printer can go to silly levels of detail, so even fine girders can be printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinners Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Separate parts works well for me. It allows me to add custom supports instead of relying on the software to do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
