Thank you for the info... I was looking on 3d cults and they have a few different aircraft engines that I'm thinking might work... gotta give is a little. more thought.. but again thanks a lot for the information...

I know about the AMT Allison engine parts pack because I've used on in my scratch built Big Al 34 Ford... But I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a a high quality STL file of this engine... I really don't want to pay $50 for another AMT parts pac. just putting it out there....

Thank you for your reply. You are correct. On second thought maybe getting id touch with Polycam would be more prudent. That's where I should start. Thanks again.👍

I've finally gotten to the point where I'm printing parts pretty consistently from files I download from the internet... Here's my question.... I successfully scanned a few parts with Polycam.in the photo taking scan mode. I new print these. What do I have to do, what's the next step? I foolishly tried importing the scans in my Lychee slicer... WRONG!... I know there's another step.. What do I need to do before I can import these into Lychee??? What am I missing? Thank you in advance.

I have my 33 body Willys scanned.....what's the next step... I tried exporting it as a STL to Lychee but didn't export for some reason.. I'm using a Halot One printer and that's working fine now after some prints.... can I export directly in Lychee then slice? Been trying to find a youtube for some answers.. Then i said to myself "DUH" the forum! Thanks in advance for any help...

Thank you for the reply. I just want to make small parts that I need like specfic headers, certain vintage wheels, I've done that so far and it's turned out quite well, small stuff for now when I'm scratch building. I basically building drag cars and street rods for now. Once I get more experience I'd like to scan and print bodies but I'd have to get a larger printer. So I would start with an inexpensive but decent scanner, then go to something like sketch up then to a slicer to print? So that's the three steps? Thanks again...

I've been going online getting a few parts such as zoomie headers, certain wheels and tires etc but there is a limited choice to what I want for what I'm building. Could someone please post the whole process of scanning something all the way through to printing. Is there another step I' missing to all this? just trying to piece it all together to understand it rather then being limited to what stl files I can find online...

A few of my prints are not sticking to the bed. How raise the exposure and make the bed a little thicker...? can't seem to figure it out...

Has anyone heard anything about Donn Yost? I really miss his facebook postings... just wondering,,

Thanks! I'm gonna make sure I check all the things you mention.... and thanks for the reply!

Yeah I meant Lychee! Duh....(smiling here) So I'll try increasing the light on time.... thanks a lot!

I just got a Harlot One printer....I've tried printing a few of their stock files that came with the printer. I leveled everything. Had one print come out fine then the next two were not so good only printed a little bit of what it was supposed to be. I'm thinking it has to do with the settings, which from what I'm learning are limited on this machine. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm using Yachee. Thanks for any help at all. thank you.

Thank you for the info.... I appreciate it...I'll give it a try....

How do I figure out how to size the parts to print the right size for 1/24 1/25 scale? I've downloaded some really nice American Mags but printing them the correct size is a challenge so they fit certain slicks. Any help would be VERY much appreciated......
