Hi, For anyone who missed this. After years of trying to figure out how to get this to market 3D printers have finally come to the point where price/performance have made this possible. This is a game changer and things are just going to get better. Since it's very visible in the "greenhouse" I'm working on the GEE, Radar etc for the Navigator's station. It will also be available for sale. Robert Mrozowski https://www.robertmrozowski.com

Get well soon. Best wishes

They are excellent.

Oh, That explains why the Hawker Typhoon book didn't come out.

It's a hobby. If you want to use all your knowledge of color science you're taking your hobby to an art. But if you want to build an accurate model but not concerned about color science you're probably more of an historian. If you're building and painting with no real concern for accuracy you're probably not that obsessed and that's fine too. It's a hobby.

Tamiya is a traditional corporation with offices and warehouses around the world. Chinese model companies haven’t learned about that yet.

I I agree. It took me a couple of years to get good with the software and years more to get really good. But I use Modo which isn't a CAD program and I use camera matching to calculate dimensions when I can't get blueprints. This can be done for free with Blender. The only down side is these programs only save STL files which can't be used for CNC.

It’s interesting that you ask. I’m in a dispute with ANYCUBIC right now for a refund. Fortunately I paid with PayPal and will eventually get my money back but there many people out there wouldn’t. My reasons for the cancellation had nothing to do with their inability to deliver product now. The reviews online were very good and at one time the company shipped a good product however things have changed. A day after placing my order l learned that I wanted a smaller 4K screen which delivers a finer resolution but smaller build size. I tried to cancel the order but they have no mechanism for doing that. After a lot of searching I found that the only way to communicate with them is on Facebook Messenger. After some coaxing they agreed but are hedging on the refund. Enter PayPal which is investigating the issue. The bottom line is they are selling machines at holiday discounts that they can’t deliver. If you look at the owner Facebook forums you will find a revolution brewing. If you still decide to buy an ANYCUBIC printer only do it with Amazon and be warned that their product support is virtually nonexistent right now. To show how screwed up they are I got a message from the telling me that they will refund my money if I close the dispute first. I will assume that you what you’re getting into by buying a resin printer.

This isn't the right place for this discussion. That might sound insensitive but you are venturing into the politically charged topic of who should carry guns and take the law into their hands. Some would say you would be justified but other would say that if everyone is armed and free decide when to enforce the law things could get out of control very quickly. I think most people would agree that you could gotten into a lot of legal trouble if you had used your gun. I'm have deep sympathy for you because I can understand the emotions you felt. I have strong feels about this issue but I think your minister, priest, rabbi or a therapist would be a better person to discuss this with. We all wish the best for the members of our small community and want to support them. You did the best you could. Robert

Love this kit.

That’s correct. It’s farmed out to a shop in the USA that does high end jewelry setting this way. This whole undertaking is an experiment because I need to make a minimum run of 10 sets. I want to see if there is enough interest before I place the order because I t’s a lot of money to lay out if there’s no interest. So If I can get at least 10 people to commit I will place the order and it will take a couple of weeks to complete. So far 3 are onboard. There is no risk for the participants because they will not be charged until run is completed. It’s almost like a mini crowd fund with the difference that they don’t have to put the money up front. This is a subject that I wanted to do for myself. Since I went to the trouble of doing all the work I thought it would be a shame not to offer to others who like one. I can tell you the prototype was not cheap to make. I know this more than you asked, I just thought it needed more explaining. If anyone wants a particular subject I’m willing to do it as long as they can get a minimum of 10 people to commit. Thanks to all. Robert
