  1. Best way to remove supports is directly after washing it removing supports before the cure process will keep them a little more pliable so if you remove them just after washing a break off nice and clean
  2. So was going through my FE engine doing a favor for someone and I realized I never fully completed my Blown Setup, I mean it was close really close, so I finished it off and am printing a small batch of both variants now. Transmission is selectable I am talking about the hats more than anything on the variation.
  3. Motivational speech is not one of my products I offer
  4. The surfboard can be found at https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/modern-style-surfboard
  5. I plan on dropping a limited quantity tomorrow and only making what I have on hand available unlike last time where I was drowning in W-1000 orders.
  6. I disagree with casting takes longer, it's just different. You can cast a mold with 50 carbs in it in minutes, printing takes hours per batch, but you have to make molds for casting, but printing requires screen time to make the models, the time spent modeling makes a big difference in the outcome. I am not against casting so don't take it that way, it's just different.
  7. No it's just a place to buy files, but IMHO that model is a joke
  8. The bigger issue with the surfboards is that you can go find a surfboard that's probably around the right size and a cheap toy and get it cheaper than I'm going to make it for I'm not dumb even though it's a popular item to put say on a beetle or a bus or maybe the back of a truck people aren't going to want to pay me to resin print one when they can go buy a cheap plastic one from some toy cheaper not going to make it most likely
  9. Oh and they won't sell I'm not naive and I already know that
  10. I'm going to make it scale 6 ft long because that's already more than I want to do It's going to take 7 hours to make them Not a lot of resin but 7 hours because of how big they are and it'll be your job to clean up the bottom where the supports are
  11. Fine I will make some surfboards, how long is a real one 1:1 typically
  12. Well I did it based on a completely different reason it was all based on availability and partially it is the correct year we all know that the movie car was a 67 GT500 GT350 GT500 really the differences are very minimal and I'm replacing all those anyway. I think you're saying I made the right choice but What year are the kids were made in inadvertently may had something with it but really it was about finding me easiest to acquire. For example the F1 truck that has that pikes peak look old smoking It's great kit but it's impossible to find and sales suffer for that reason I did not design that one so that's how it came to be but on the other hand really what would be the other option other than the foose truck.
  13. I'll be honest I bought the AMT to do it because it's one of those kids that's really easy to find it's the right ear and it already had the right tail lights. Same thing with a bug I bought the Revell because you can find it anywhere I know they're not the best kits but I really like making things for kits that are easy to get a hold of.
  14. But you could just go out and buy that AMT kit and mount it to whatever chest you want It's really not that bad of a kit
  15. I have no idea I don't have one I bought the most rarely available kit to do this from and that's why I did it and the year was right
  16. I may be but I need to make a file first, I would like to have one in hand or detailed drawings for one first. Plus I need more time to do stuff like this
  17. I don't think lidar is the way to go, structured light seems to be the best solution for details that I have seen.
  18. I have two scanners One is an Einstar the other is an Einscan SP. But neither one of them is going to scan reflective surfaces That's what scanner spray is for or you can primer it. Scanning Hot Wheels is not very easy they're very small and generally speaking scanners are not made to scan little itty-bitty things there is a scanner that will scan really small things very very well but it is also very very expensive. There are examples of Hot Wheels bodies that I scanned One I printed at the same scale The other one I printed at 1:32 scale
  19. I will list it I'm going to print some out today I am really busy with this Eleanor project plus I'm working on something else with Scott so I'm trying but I'm doing a lot right now
  20. Mentioning it is fine I just want to be clear as to how I sell my items I have a lot of questions repeatedly about hey I can't find this intake manifold or where are the carbs individually on your website and I just want to be clear
