Rodavan Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Finally ready to do a test print Print will take about 9 hours Quote
Return To Kit Form Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Woow nice work dude. What scale are you printing at? Quote
Rodavan Posted May 12, 2019 Author Posted May 12, 2019 Thanks Return To Kit Form - This will be 1/72 , but it's a CAD model so I can scale too anything Quote

Rodavan Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 So I something wrong , only one part completed .It still looks ok ,placed it in the UV tank to cure. Sorry photos not so Great http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/gallery/category/13-macross-fan-art/ Quote
Rodavan Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Printed some more parts today came out smoother Just cleaned with water and toothbrush so still a bit wet Edited May 18, 2019 by Rodavan Quote
Rodavan Posted May 26, 2019 Author Posted May 26, 2019 Hot off the printer - everything now printed some still needs to UV cured Quote
Rodavan Posted May 26, 2019 Author Posted May 26, 2019 Thank you Bolt I will clean and assemble next weekend , if it looks good maybe a 1/48 scale is next ... Quote
Rodavan Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 It didn't go as well as expected.Large resin parts seem to warp and peel during the UV curing .The other thing is resin dust is very fine and gets in everything if you not use to working with resin The good thing I have learned a lot , not giving up yet.I have already started to prepare the next project my Queadluun Rau to for print .So I will have make some changes .Let see if we do anything with rest of print this week as I have been only trying to fit parts , the smoothing and clean hasn't even started yet Quote
tekering Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Keep it up! I'm enjoying watching your progress. Quote
Xigfrid Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Well your cad work looks top notch, if you are using your own printer I would say that this is very promising considering you will get more and more used to the printer performances and what to tweak next time Quote
Rodavan Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 Thank you Tekering Xigfrid - Thanks all my models are full CAD models , they need to tweaked for printing , but luckily as they are already CAD models the process is an easy one .The Wanhao D8 is my own printer , so I think there will still be a lot "learning " Quote

I have a Photon printer I would like to print these on. Quote
