MeshMixer 3D software

After being unable to upload a new topic to the 3D Makerspace I thought I would share my experiences with MeshMixer as a 3D modelling package.

 

After being encouraged to purchase an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro UV printer I wanted to be able to build my own stuff so, after much deliberation I downloaded MeshMixer, a free software package, and have got to grips with its capabilities. I always felt that the 1/48 white metal & brass etch aircraft crew ladders available were lacking an element of accuracy & realism, so I decided to design and built various types using MeshMixer and printed on the Mars 2.

 

Below are the first two projects, 1/48 crew ladders for the E.E. Lightning and Blackburn Buccaneer.

 

 

I've just completed the crew ladder for the Hawker Hunter with the Tornado GR.1 lightweight ladder currently in MeshMixer plus Sea Venom, Sea Vixen & Scimitar ladders in the pipeline.
