I have printed these on an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, Saturn, Saturn 2 and Saturn 3. The higher the definition the better the print. My exposure time has been 2.5 seconds or less, but that is with a different machine than yours. I would suggest doing some calibration prints with a couple of different calibration files to dial your machine as best you can before printing these files as they are a very high tolerance. I agree with the others that your time seems a bit high. JAmes

Very cool. I'll have to look for those decals. Kotare is coming out with a Spit Vb later this year so I'll wait until then as converting stuff doesnt seem to be working well for me lately. James

I printed the six gun nose for my HK A-26 and it looked like it will fit okay. Hopefully its okay to show link to where I posted this. Further down the page are some 500 and 1000 pound bombs for my A-26 and B-25 load outs. https://modelersalliance.org/threads/new-for-dec-23-part-two.157088/#post-389016 James Knaus

I cant see the images, but do you have files for sale? James

Fantastic. I just got the rest of the Airscale parts and I'm only waiting on my Norden bomb sight now. Following your build with interest. I was wondering if I should put the cushion on the floor and from your lead I think I should now. Realiy enjoying watching this. James

This looks like a very cool subject. I cant wait to see more. James

There is also REMJ https://www.remj.co.uk/3d-blocks I have also found people on Facebook who I have been able to buy files from and Patreon is also a good source of files. James

I look forward to any information thqat comes of this thread. I started resin 3D printing a couple of years ago but I am thoroughly enjoying it. I started with a Mars 2Pro and then got a Saturn and now have a Saturn 2 which is amazing. I use Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin Navy Grey. It is made for 8K machines and is amazing. Much better than some of the other versions I have used. There are a few companies like AnyZ that sell files of their products and they are fantastic. Also Cults3D is a very good place to find files, free and for sale. Currently I am saving for the new Elegoo Saturn 3 which is a 12K machine. One problem with 3D printing is it is addictive. If you are wondering about a FDM machine I suggest the Neptune 3Pro. It isnt very good for detail work, but it is great for making bases and tools and stuff around the house. James

I saw a build on Facebook and the author had nothing good to say about the decals. I couldn't really see the issue, but it sounds like they do not apply very well. A few people also commented on the decals and overall I got the feeling they were not very good. I will try them anyway, but as I mentioned if they are not very good I can still try and use them to make stencils. I'm getting closer to where I can start the kit but I doubt I will get to the decals before you do as I am very very slow now adays. As for the Airscale stuff it looks fantastic. I missed the prop and the telescope the first time I ordered but i have fixed that. I am looking forward to using them and so am happy to see how you use the PE. Hopefully I am wrong about the decals, but there were more than a couple of people complaining about it. Of course maybe they have been improved. Only time will tell. James

Watching with interest. I have the PE and decals also although from all I have heard the decals suck and the kit decals are better. I figure I will just make stencils. Where is the Telescopic sight and Propeller from? I would like to get those also. Hoping to start my kit after I finish my PT-17. James Oops, answered my own question and have them ordered.

Looking very interesting still. You might already know, but if you dip the part in hot water (not boiling) before removing the supports they come off very easily and barely leave a mark. This is before curing of course. As some parts are hard to position when curing I have been using some pyrex beakers to hold the part with great success. Looking forward to more. James

Very nice. I'm just gathering refs and hope to start this as soon as I clear the bench. Getting some ideas from looking at your build James

Very cool project. I'd love to get one of these. Although I never worked on it I have a couple of friends who did and there is one down in Edmonton AB at the museum. Do you think you might sell stl files by any chance? James

Awesome, thanks James

My finger stutters every now and again lol. Its bad enough i have 4 of them. James
