- 3D printing.......a new Golden Age or just an addition to the hobby????
- I have a few 3D bodies, but I'm having a horrible time getting the parts to be plated (or equivilant) smooth enough without destroying the detail and contours.
- Another tool in the drawer. I've bought a bunch of stuff, mostly wheels/tires and engines, but will still plug away at doing bodies and chassis myself *NM*
- Was computer-aided machining/milling supposed to revolutionize the hobby years ago? *NM*
- I have a 3D printer that I have yet to take the time to learn. It opens up an endless variety of modeling possibilities and uses a different skill set compared to scratch building *NM*
- Found out the hard way, despite my best efforts, that getting a good plating job on them is elusive. *NM*
- Lots of things to think about here.
- Great Topic-So, I have purchased 3D printed items from several folks and have come to a conclusion-Which is, any yahooo, who has a 3D printer thinks they can print and sell parts, that ain't it, examples----
