Small set back

Due to an unexpected car repair I am not able to purchase the 3D printer this month. Luckily enough,  it is only a minor set back.

Because of this delay, I made a few more items available on shapeways.

I would like to post up a time line on when I will have that 3D printer. But until I can take another hard look at my budget, I dont want to promise anything yet.

Bursting Point

Well I found the 3D printer that should do the job for what I need it to do. I will be ordering the SeeMeCNC Orion 3D printer by the end of the week. I was hoping the Sculptify 3D printer would be in my price range but its layer thickness is at the 100 micron level. This immediately took it out of he running. I needed to find a printer that can handle 50 microns or less.

This Yoda print shows the difference in print quality from an 100 micron layer thickness on the left to the 50 micron layer thickness on the right. It is still not smooth as a babys butt, but it should do the trick.





So why did I title this up date bursting point?
After years of sitting on my Robotech 3D models and sitting back in shadows.
I am finally going to do something with them.




I will start working on a Fleet Scale Space Combat System.
