Eivind Lunde Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The quality looks very good indeed. But would there be any problems making things like radial engines, with closely finned cylinders, in 1/48 scale? And what about open structures like an aircooled Spandau machine gun? Is a dust free environment necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a dust free environment necessary? Depends what type of printer and the accuracy of the printer. Check out the detail on this kit! I find the smallest detail I can reliably print is 0.3mm with my anycubic photon. Engraved details can be finer, but for extruded details, 0.2 mm is the finest that produces any decent results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangseat Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I would think cylinder fins in 1:48 are possible to suggest well, but maybe not to replicate fin for fin. This is about as detailed as I find I can go, this is the nose undercarriage for a Mooney M20, which has rubber suspension doughnuts, each about 6" in diameter, this is 1:72: They are there! No bugger will see them, mind... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDCS87 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've managed to print 1/72 missile fins on my Photon down to .2mm but not reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
