| edtherenderman | Aero-Werkes AW 11601 - Hannover CL IIIa | Build | 23-Mar-20 10:40 |  | | Views : 403 | | Been a trying time over the last few weeks. Working from home and social isolation has been challenging. But fortunetly, my family, friends and myself are healthy. I hope all the same for you! I have had some time (more time actually) to do some 3D printing. Here is the 3D print job for an 1/16 scale ARGUS (Opel) III six cylinder engine used in the Hannover CIIIa and serveral other German aircraft during WWI. I modeled this is Blender, then using my print pipeline, was able to print it out in five separate print jobs. Most of these only took 4 - 6 hours to print. Print time is proportial to the number of layers (hight in Z Axis) of the print, not the number of parts. I have found there tends to have more issues with lots of parts on one print, so I tend to keep the numbers smaller and do more prints. It took two weekends and a week of evenings to model the entire engine. However, now that I have it, I can print it in any scale I want down to about 1/24. Any smaller than that and I run into issues with parts being too small and would need to rework the model. |

| Don C | Scratch Built Basler BT-67 | Build | 19-Mar-20 14:15 |  | | Views : 390 | | Untaping error under repair. Not sure of the reason. 2 possibilities: 1, pulled tape at the wromg angle (towards the the red instead of towards the white, 2. I got impatient with the acrylic white paint coverage and put 2 coats of Krylon white on and the latex didn't stick well. After this I sanded the white lightly before painging over it. Those 2 corrections seemed to have helped. |
