  1. those are a different type of printer that uses reels of plastic and a heated moving nozzle sorta like a milling machine in reverse. the resin printers are just a tank for the resin, a plate that raises and lowers that the print holds on to and a light under the tank that cures specific areas of the tank bottom onto the plate. the only moving part is the plate which needs levelled regularly and the temprature needs to be warm enough.
  2. its an easy fix. the printer isn't using stiff enough supports or enough of them. i'll hazzard a guess the bodies will have a slight droop forward of the lines as well. if you give the bodies slight left or right tilt along with the front to back, along with extra supports you can avoid most of it. for example, i give the body a 30-45 degree front to back angle along with 4 or 5 degrees left or right. since doing this my prints have been loads better
  3. it will but thats what kills the smells. once its been soaked you could soak them again with normal cleaners but vingar should evaporate pretty quick. its the base for most good glass cleaners so one of them might also work. I used vinegar a lot when i was working
  4. have you triied soaking the vinyl parts in white vinegar? it should help reduce the smell but it might need a week or two soaking
  5. you mght have to search the rc print bodies for one that will scale down. the closest 3d in 1/24 i've seen is the 99 pick up or 88 panther
  6. I'd have a look at the aoshima pick ups. they would have the clossest shape to the izuzu
  7. me, i suspect in my case its an old computer as my other one is faster and loads everything.
  8. it got a few makeovers. the final version was rs2 blue on a set of chrome carlines with a full r32 swap including the 4x4. I prefered the hok brown on carlines though
  9. ford did some 4 door mk3 fiesta (in europe the hatch is counted as door if it opens into the passenger area so the ford escort would be a 3 or 5 door, while the near identicle orion is only 4 door as it has a trunk) as a concept in the early 90s. the yellow one is still in ford uks collection
  10. another vote for tamiya rubber black or you can print with black resin
  11. do you know the email address you used originaly and still have access to it?
  12. its an issue with some words. if it has computer type com and words you need to mis-spell or add spaces befoe it will let it post
  13. this type of scam isn't about the money. just replying shows you are succeptible and you'll be targeted after that. thats why they want you to email
  14. It was featured in Mike Key's hot bugs book too along with volksworld (i have it somewhere) and chrome and flames mags among others.
  15. i've edited your post and remind you no politics.
  16. they do, i'm using a hobby design version under a type 3
  17. the testors chezoom kit maybe?
  18. if you click the three dots on the top right of the post to report it, i can move it for you
  19. if your hobby shop has a train section have a look at the old fashioned street lamps. the tops from them could work or even dolls house lamps
  20. If you use the trade section the best advice i can give is trust your gut. And try to keep your messaging to the forum. scammers wont want to use the pm system as it saves the evidence so they will try and get you to use emails as its very easy to make them say they are from someone else. For example, if michael jackson emails saying he;s not really dead and needs $400 for recording time, that could very well be a scam (I chose that one cos i just read it elsewhere, lol)
  21. i believe pms can only be limited if the moderation is applied by us. I dont think it is applied to the auto moderation at the start of a membership. It may be it only happens when its a time limit moderation rather than the post count
  22. please report these posts so we can block them.
  23. the crewcab/dokka is available in 3d and the van panels to convert a bus. the different roof options are available too along with all the vw wheels and grille/light options. some parts need to be rescaled from 1/18
  24. The escort cosworth road car kit would also work. it was more sierra than escort so should fit
