After six total re-designs, I finally am happy with my replacement spinner for my Monogram 1/48 P-51D's... This could be my first 3d print
If it goes well, I'll start working on replacement gun inserts for the wings..

Re: After Six Tries
Are you designing and printing these yourself?

Re: After Six Tries
Yessir. Been teaching myself CAD for the last year or so as my 3d printer gathers dust...
I hope to get my first print done in the next 30 days or so, after I figure out where to setup my printer that checks all the boxes such as adequate ventilation, temperature, etc...

Re: After Six Tries
Very cool. I want to do this to understand the tech, but just don't think I'd use it practically. I can send all my requests to you
Thanks,

Re: After Six Tries
It's definitely cool tech. Resin printing is such a different animal that FDM printing. Tons of info on youtube. So much cool stuff you can make to take your models to the next level (well if you build older kits anyway, or even newer 72'nd scale kits).

I really need to get going on this. You're making me feel lazy, Chris!

Re: After Six Tries
I think we should all inundate Chris with requests for detail parts
Re: After Six Tries
Nice, Chris.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: After Six Tries
Lazy is a label I would never think of slapping on you John! Your model output is probably 20 times higher than mine
