karbuildr Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 I haven't entered the 3D printing world regarding purchases as of yet, but seeing your recent builds I may change my mind about that. Very cool color, cool build.

Very cool color, cool build. Thank you I have not done many 3D printed car models most of the 3D printed model kits I have built have been sci-fi models and 1/1 scale Star Trek prop replica kits

Sledsel Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 Ya done finished another and I am still messing with one (3 months now) Good going. I like the subject mater and the colors pop like many of your builds. Nice work. How hard is the material? Looks to need some sanding to get the body really smooth. I have not done and 3D print builds yet and wonder what I'd be getting into.

Thank you pla is like impact resistant plastic you have to use power sanders or dremal with sanding drums and bunch of other tools plus a lighter to heat up the pla to make it more pliable to clean up Edited December 1, 2023 by michelle
