  1. Great advice. Maybe you should do research instead of just throwing out potentially bad advice based on “what you were told”.
  2. They should’ve used the pop can wheels on it!
  3. Not sure where you got that info from but in all the research and reading I’ve done on 3D printing I’ve never come across anywhere saying isopropyl will melt plastic or resin (it’s even bottled and stored in a plastic container!). I’ve lost small parts for months in the bottom of my cleaning tank and pulled them out and other than making a few trips through the spinner at the bottom there is no issue with them being melted. If something got melted then there was other issues with the print, perhaps the resin wasn’t fully cured or the walls were paper thin. I don’t claim to be an expert but I’ve done a fair amount of reading to make sure I don’t have these issues and have yet to have any, or read of any, and I wouldn’t leave parts soaking overnight but 10-20 minutes for sure I do all the time.
  4. I don’t use cast resin, only 3D printed resins
  5. I soak in isopropyl alcohol, let that dry then spray with windex then wash with a toothbrush and dish soap

  15. GM switched them on/off depending on the year and emissions requirements. They did the same thing with their V8 trucks of the same era. GM never sold an engine from factory with an oil catch can
  16. Appears to be an egr valve
  17. Short answer is yes, long answer is it depends on the quality of parts you’re using, the scanner and your computer software. Have you tried searching cults3d or thingaverse or one of the other many websites with 3D files first?
  18. Once you have the 3D model you can use the slicer to resize to any size you want. There are calculators online you can use to tell you what percentage to use for different scales
