onosendai Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) It would seem that today anyone with some 3d knowledge immediately think of producing models in 32 scale, speaking from producer (with a few years of experience) we all know that the reality is a bit different...... http://www.aviareplica.com/ Edited July 27, 2015 by onosendai Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Interesting project .... but 300 microns resolution is not outstanding, and that's an understatement Hubert Edited June 23, 2015 by MostlyRacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If ever there was a kit I'd like to see a review of before purchasing. I do like the idea of a 1/32 Blenheim sitting on my shelf...

LSP_Kevin Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This seems a bit of an ambit claim at this stage. It will be interesting to see where it goes. Thanks for thinking of me, Dennis! Based on the company's subscription-based model, I'd say review samples will be unlikely. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alburymodeler Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I also would like to see more information than one 3D CAD image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 300 microns has to be a misprint. More likely it is 30. 300 is coarser than a farriers file for horse hooves!! I would also be a bit leary of using 3d printed materials for anything permanent. We have been using them for 15 years now, this is NOT new technology!! Some are better than others, but none have the long term stability of more traditional materials, simply from the way they are cured/deposited, especially under load, and when exposed to uv light. They are fine fore smaller details though. We Only use them for short term requirements, or as sacrificial masters for resin castings. Your mileage may vary of course!

Kagemusha Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well I'm going to take the plunge, just hope another 74 do... Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't get why anyone would use 3D prints for the master parts, They only need to be made once and well! 3D printing is for just knocking out a quick rough part to check your general drawings. You would have to do so much sanding and filling and hand scribing for the panel lines It would end up looking hand made.

Bob MDC Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi, 3D is the way forward for masters, just finishing a job of about 300 parts for a kick-starter project the parts are amazing. Hope to post some pictures shortly (not LSP) The medium we use is a jewellers wax for investment casting but the resolution in great at 6.25 microns it should be but it takes an age to print. Just pop them in rubber and from a casting we can produce a really good master, just a squirt of Mr Surfacer 1500. We have been working on this for a bout five years and have some great results.

Artful69 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The minimum pre-order number is 75, or it doesn't go ahead. Kev Bit of risk then isn't it ... asking us to shell out $60 with not even any master patterns to look at ... and a further $70 if it actually makes it into production ... with no previous work as a reference point for quality ... Oooo-er!! I'll think it over ... but it seems like a big ask ... Now if it was HpH - and Mirek was doing the ask, on the other hand ..... ?

AlexM Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I do not know of any SLA printer with 30 microns resolution, Tim ... All you other points are vey good ones, btw ... Hubert It depends on what one understands by the term resolution. The Form1+ can print layers as thin as 25 microns, while the finest detail can be as small as 300 microns. http://formlabs.com/support/faq/#Form-1-plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
