RMweb Premium JimFin Posted February 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2020 Will be interesting to see how you develop this. what gauge scale are you modelling and what printer will you be using? Have seen some nice 3d printed work in Nm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan L Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 I am working in 1/150. Right now i am using the Anycubic Photon resin printer with modifications. A larger format ( build area ) is in the works. I have seen some very nice work from others. I am just getting started with this. Learning the software has been time consuming!

Alan L Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Thank you - it will be fun to play with. What did you use to create it? I am using Solid Works myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan L Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Printed out the file today and it printed very good. I do have to make changes though. I made the sides 0.9mm thick which is way too thin. Also need to add more detailing. All in all I was surprised as this was my first pass! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
