Must have gotten below 70. I use a space heater to warm up my computer and modeling rooms. I built this house in 2005 thru 2007 as totally energy efficient, The power company paid me money when I moved in. My last electric bill was less than $50.00. My highest in the summer was less than $80.00. it's not the cold, but the dampness that gets me. As far as modeling goes, it's the best time to paint. The humidity drops to a usable level.

Report post Posted 11 hours a I agree....what will happen is loss of detail/sharpness of parts by trying to sand around the details that everyone swears is THE BEST....whats the point?....you are creating more work for yourself, and are losing the realism of finishes. I think there's some kind of blindness in our hobby, that says things like PE, metal parts, and 3D printed parts are the most realistic simply because their already real metal, or the newest technologies. There are HUNDREDS of modelers out there that can create killer realism WITHOUT using the fancy stuff. I use as little PE , and "Special" stuff as i can these days. So, i'm with you, its not ready for all of us yet, but lets be truthful about it. You keep harping on this, but your ignorance is totally unbelievable. If I really know my stuff as Casey has said, then I know how to make the lines disappear. I have document the procedure in one of my previous threads. Maybe Casey can find it.

Stop using Shapeways. The right printer in the right hands will produce what you want.

Silence is golden.

It is now November 2019. The world of 3d printing changes rapidly. sanding finished parts? Your kidding, right. It's all up to the person doing the printing and there knowledge. Period.

I can only assume that your experience is with Shapeways. Resin prints done on a home 3d printer are very sand-able and are totally lacking in in layer lines. Again. It's the lack of knowledge that prevents you from understanding. If you want proof, message me your address and I will send it to you.

Where do I begin? I have a college degree with a B.S.in Business Administration. My majors were in accounting and economics. My g.p.a. in accounting was 3.5 and economics was 3.8. I have been a small business accountant with my own practice for going on 30 years. I've built my first 2 3d printers. One being an f.d.m. machine and the other was a resin printer. I know this technology very well. When I see people opting for price, I think of this quote. A sub $500.00 resin printer is just that. Cheap. As in dime store cheap. F.d.m is totally out of the question because of the lack of detail. Moving on to your for 3d printed bodies, I offer these. 1935 Delehaye 135 f&f roadster. My LaSalle 1935 convertable coupe build w.i.p. build test prints. These were printed on my Phrozen XL printer with an 8.5 inch lcd screen. It cost me $1253.00. You don't see many prints like this because: Lack of file and knowledge of how to make the files printable. The propensity of model car builders to be cheap. I would suggest that if you are anywhere close to me in Florida, that you might take a ride and view the results for yourself.

Harry was a pure class act. He was the glue that made everything happen. The forum moderation, never been duplicated. The magazine. I miss him.

What size prints are you wanting to do?

55 Pontiac frame 55 Chevy

I would love to see a new kit of this car someday, but short of someone doing a 3-D printed version, I know that the possibility is virtually zero. Would you believe 100% possibility? Sometime next year. I have started the cad file. I have a promo of the car, a 56 4 view blue print and a 3d scanner which give me a good form of reference. I'm currently involved in completing a 35 LaSalle convertible rumble seat coupe and a coupe. There are 140+ 3d printed parts to the LaSalle. I'm 70% done and am shooting for the end of year completion. Next, I'm going to go to the mid to late 50's Chrysler products. All projects will have a complete and accurate body, frame, engine and interior. I also have completed the Dodge 241 engine that only needs the poly heads created for the 55 Plymouth. That's the Dodge engine in my avatar.

No problem, Steve. I did appreciate the message you sent me a few days ago.

Quit to the contrary Steve. I haven't learned how to use the smiley yet. Your advise is always welcome. You are a fine builder and have much to share.

If you'r referring to me Bill, this is a pathetic post. I asked you to answer a simple question. You were't even able to do that.

Well said,Richard. I'm going to expound here and tell you a little about my outlook on life. When I was 16, I coined a phrase that became my motto for my life. It's quit simple and easy for most to understand. It says, "it's not important what unimportant people think." If someone says or does something that has no direct influence or effect on your life, it's of not matter to your well being. This post is full of unimportant complaints. Wake up, grow up. people have different values, attitudes and beliefs from yours. Does that make them wrong?

Come on Bill. You make no sense. You been nipping?

Come on Bill. Don't Play games. It's plain English. I have a hard time believing your inability To comprehend that.

So, Steve , do you offer them encouragement and advice? I think I already know the answer to that.

Nice trey Bill. Just answer my question. Nice try Bill. Just answer my question. Your a bright guy? just figure it out

So, you answer a question with a question.It's not that difficult an answer Bill. Only if you make it so.

So why does this bother you bill?

37 F & F Delehaye 135 & 57 DeSoto front fenders and bumper. Prints have not had all of the supports removed.

Show me the original kit custom wheels. All I see are the stock wheel covers and the optional wire wheel covers. The kit has no real wheels, only wheel covers.

National news coverage is weak, If you what to know what's really happening, you need local media. Things have change for the better since 8 a,m, You should be able to stream Fox 35 Orlando like I am. http://www.fox35orlando.com/live

I use future and they come out nice.
