Pico Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Last coat of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 That looks great, especially for a printed body. That paint belies all the work that must have gone into it below the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That paint belies all the work that must have gone into it below the surface. The body was fairly smooth to begin with, being high-poly ( many small flat planes make up the surface) and the resin printing method produces a smooth surface. Much better than, for instance, Shapeways, which is a fuzzy, nylon like material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmak Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Did you design the Maserati parts or download them? I just got my Anycubic Photon a couple weeks ago. I started small with some wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my Anycubic Photon a couple weeks ago. I started small with some wheels. Both Maserati and Mangusta are files from the net. They are not printable , however, without a great deal of work to modify them to be printable. The Mangusta suspension, chassis, wheels, etc, was designed by me.

Good work on the Maserati. I design medical devices and often have to work with skins for the interface components. You are correct that they typically require a great deal of work to make printable. I have been 3D printing at work for 25+ years. Our first SLA cost 250K. Very impressed with the Photon printer so far. The slicing and support software somewhat less impressive.

I use Prusa SL1 for support generation. It's very simple to use. ChiTubox support generation is awful, but I use it for slicing and think it works alright, but I don't have any experience with other slicing programs.

Pico Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Chrome decals were made using the Decalprofx system. It's a very "fiddly" and difficult system, but once mastered, can produce excellent chrome decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
