Title: 3D printing
Post by: chriswil42 on November 28, 2021, 11:20:04 AM: First items 3D printed with the new toy were some patchwork templates for the wife. I used a web based 3D software package to design them.
Now I'll have make something model related.

I like the idea of the Oil Drums, perhaps some wooden boxes/containers.
I'll stand in line behind Msea.

5 mins. But it has no base. Redoing one with a base - estimated time is 6 mins.

I'll have to try one. A guess might be 10 to 15 mins.

Post by: chriswil42 on December 04, 2021, 02:39:00 PM: 32 minutes to produce this one. It did have a fair amount of support material inside for the top of the oil drum. Reducing this would speed it up.

Rescaling to get 1/36 for you Martin.
