Rodavan Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xigfrid Posted June 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
