Yeppers, I should prolly start a build thread on this one, I plan to do my 3d work with it.

I cannot, but I can create hollows for a rod to be inserted OR even scan the kit pot metal brace and design around that. I'll I need is time.

Ack, sorry for the late reply, im a scumbag. Its packed up right now, hope to jump back in at some point.

I've seen the resin gear sets, I guess anything is possible but it seems the gear would sag over time....hmm.

@Out2gtcha Here is my CR-10, I had just added those red stiffiners.

I can only say the FDM and Resin printers I have from them (Creality) have worked flawlessly. The only hiccup I ever had was some trapped air bubbles in the build plate covering and they replaced it no problem.

The good news is its exactly where I left it. The bad news is its exactly where I left it.

Perfecto Denis, looks superb.

Certainly looks good.

Thanks for the comments guys, here are a couple more in progress shots. The printer is not large enough to print the whole thing so it was broken down into sections split at panel lines. The second shot is the upper skirt with an (over complicated) internal frame to hold a dowel for the base. I was really puckering on print day, it took about 8 hours and printed perfectly the first time, whew. Ryan

Yes I’m sorry man, I didn’t read the post entirely! check-out the the Creality machines though, mines pretty big.

Those are at 50um, at that resolution the (3) parts to the main fuselage took about 8.5 hours, mine is a 4k machine.

I'll paint them up once the design is solid, these prints are test in nature and would not paint well.

Thanks, this is the first draft, I will refine and tweak it a bit. I'm also planning white printed duct too and engine face. - Ryan

@Martinnfb thanks, it’s challenging!

More pics.

Here's an early Atlas I have designed and printed..its huge!

Hello, been cadding away at these exhausts and ran a test print. The first round test was kinda ok, I need to refine some things and try again. Disregard layer lines as this was a kwik test print. I know replacement cans are available but I like designing my own.

I also have the CR-10 Plus that will print helmets etc in PLA. Both my machines are Creality and have a 3d Scanner on order, great products.

I use the Creality Halot Sky and its awesome., but this one is slightly bigger and you get the washing station too. https://store.creality.com/products/halot-mage-pro-8k-resin-3d-printer?spm=..collection_c126e9dd-81fa-4f64-9e2c-9caddfa8f9cf.albums_1.1&spm_prev=..collection_53542add-ae5c-4306-8be0-41c1c4aad786.creality_folding_panel_1.1&variant=8c2f7e08-d5be-4147-9f74-a8f378f1b380

That’s pretty easy in Fusion. Once you have the drawing, you insert them using Canvas. Once in Canvas you calibrate the drawing to the scale you want. You set them using the origin work planes (X,Y,Z)

@red Dog I just purchased a 3d scanner, this will make the fitting of the 3d parts much easier as for example you can scan a kit cockpit tub and then design around it to make sure it fits. Or an A-10 nose. Or an Stubby Lightning Fuselage. Or a mishappen Harrier wing. Or a mishappen F-14 intake. I have many ideas.

Woody that is astonishing, well done.

Hey Rainer, no progress really, I'm quite fickle when it comes to modeling subjects and AC are on the very back burner currently. Thanks for the interest. Ryan

In my experiences it was on or off, no real build up. First one was at 18 years old, A friend asked me a question, I answered in gibberish and then fell down, the entire right side was paralyzed. I regained about everything in 10 days +/-. The second one was when was 30, I was sitting on the couch...I answered my wife in gibberish and it happened again, although the second time it wasn't as bad. I have residual problems finding words and the tips of my fingers on my right hand feel as it they have Band-Aids on them. I would not wish the event on anyone, now every time I cant locate a word fast enough or I have a twitch on my scalp I fear its coming back.
