SirBlueHenry Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Provisional floor done provisional rear bulkhead done busy on 8th rendition of instrument binnacle and side shelf front seats are scaled down versions of car seats found on Thingyverse - and they will be good enough for the Seabee front seats control column pedestal done (and I have just this very moment realised that this is the first aircraft I have ever seen with a control column AND steering wheel style controls. yet to do ... instrument panel pedals door handles inside steering wheels rear bench seat seat frames (probably best made of wire) but they may not even be visible - will still decide on best approach with this LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 To my amazement - despite being told differently - PLA can be glued with styrene glue (Tamiya Thin). Well, that makes a huge difference. It may not glue by welding as much as styrene plastic welds, but it did a pretty good bond - no problem for model parts so far.

LSP_Kevin Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Fascinating to watch this unfold, SBH. As Peter might say, keep 'em coming! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Great thread! I can imagine a day once all you pioneers have created the files that will enable anyone with a 3d printer to print out every version of every aircraft that every flew.

SirBlueHenry Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Gaz - that would be awesome - long time before that happens Im wondering if we will get to a point - somehow - where the parts that get printed dont have lines on them - the layer lines Its a bit like when we used to use dot matrix printers, which for a time when the letters were not made of dots, Now we have perfect 2D printing. 3D printing will undergo changes, and so will scanning - eventually you will be able to reproduce and scale objects in high quality and very short time - but not yet - not for the average man at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
