The future is not flying cars but 3-D printing!!!

Welcome to the madness 🙂

Well, I’d  say you were quite successful, given that you had very little 3D printing experience.  I had been printing with a Da Vinci printer for about a year and a half before getting a more serious printer.  Welcome to the wonderful world of 3D printing!

I’m using an Elegoo Mars 3D resin SLA printer and so far, so good. A good quality model takes over 2+ hours to complete so generally it is a useful tool but not a replacement for manufacturers.

Thanks guys! I am finding that one of the neatest things is being able to make terrain to my exact specifications, like trenches for my 10mm ww1 that fits me basing.  I don’t see printing figures, but a lot of terrain that is robust and some vehicles.  I have bought a pile Pendraken Korean war stuff, and will try to supplement with some printed vehicles.

Also, I like the idea of making custom tokens and bases.

@John: I do feel like I am cheating, though, because I am leveraging all the advice from your blog and other folks that have figured out the secret sauce for slicer settings, etc.

 

Nay, I stand on the shoulders of giants…
