Disappointed 3d purchase-FYI

[Sledsel]

Got a set of 3D printed master cylinders and boosters from Ebay and was very disappointed. They are nice prints but way undersized. They are listed for 1/24 and 1/25 but look closer to 1/32. This is an FYI if you see them and consider purchasing them. I messaged the seller to inform them of my thoughts, maybe they will resolve the issue.

Here is a booster and single master cylinder next to a Revell 66 Mustang master cylinder for comparison.

Any good sources out there for these kind of parts?

Same problem with an EBay purchase. Bought a Kenworth cab and hood from a printer in Canada, was supposed to be 1:25 scale but I can put a 1:25 cab inside of it, not even sure it is 1:24 scale. Not sure what I will do with it.

If i was posting that i would leave it on the supports. It would be more hassle at your end removing them but it would get there intact and make it easier to pack.  bodies i cut polystyrene to fit reasonably snug but i have a pretty much endless supply of it from local shops

So that's just embarrassing shipping on supports doesn't really do much proper packing on the other hand that's a different story altogether I have shipped a lot of semi-kits and not a single one of them has been broken yet All depends on what material you're using looking at that resin and yeah that looks like a cheap standard stuff and then how you pack it It's pretty simple but for a seller just to tell you to glue it that's pretty lowdown sometimes things get broke and it is inevitable I've had people say I'll just glue it and I said are you sure I'll ship you a new one but as far as scale sometimes it's hard to do You need to have really good measurements but something like a brake booster Just go out to your car and measure one can at least get close

I talk with a club member who also prints, he says that scaling can be a big problem. So he has had to fudge some prints to get the sizing where he wants it.

I have bought some masters and booster combos from VCG Resins that are quite nice. The GM ones take a .020" braided line nicely, the Ford ones are a little undersize and hard to drill out without breakage.
