1/32 BN-2 3D print scratch build. Is this too much for me?

So today I mucked about with the 3D printer and made the first nose pieces.  As this was an experiment, I wasn't too fussed about the quality, because there is a bit of a learning curve to getting this right, and we (me and my son) still need to upgrade some parts of the printer.
Anyhow, there is a bit of splitting between the layers, and they're warped (which is a by-product of using tape on the print bed...one of the upgrades we're doing..), but they've shown me areas where I need to improve the shape.  So kind of a success..

Unfortunately, they're not good enough for me to glue together, sand and paint - the warping leaves a massive gap!
