Tobias Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hi. I m the guy who printed your model. I m glad to hear that you are happy with the parts and that everything turned up as expected. In terms of sanding it is easier (as you propably have allready noticed) to spray the model with primer first and then more or less just sand down the primer. For a perfectly smooth result you might have to repeat this process.

It´s not ideal for modelling, just because of that: it´s difficult to sand and easy to melt. Be careful, it may be that if you sand too hard or with a electric tool the surface may melt and warp. A possible plan B is to fill instead of sand (with a coarse primer, diluted putty or car industry putty) although then you may loose detail. But personally I think that this is the best approach in this case. Yes it was printed with pla. I have experimented with abs also but i had to find out that the abs really likes to warp even after printing Rockie Yarwood, Out2gtcha and blackbetty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Well that's cool. This really seems to be where the hobby will be going in the future, and this has to be much easier than trying to do it all from styrene and plans like the old days.

brahman104 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Nice! I've not really had much to do with PLA, but the finish on the parts seems very smooth. Much smoother than the finish I get in ABS. Good luck with the project! Craig blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) i am still waiting on the mmp plans, so i made a plan of attack: first i wil check the plans for surface detail to add. the lower 20mm gunports are missing on the print, also there are vents and ducts to locate/drill/fabricate second, i will take care of the surface finish and assemble the main parts inbetween i can scratch detail as i go i did some work on the pitfloors Edited September 29, 2020 by blackbetty LSP_Kevin, Starfighter, Greg W and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 the car filler works quite nicely. both parts have been shot with a heavy dose of it, some rescribing on the left one LSP_Kevin, Starfighter, Rockie Yarwood and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
