3D printing

[chriswil42]

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.

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

First oil drum produced at 1/72 scale or thereabouts.

That looks really nice - how long to print?

[Haddock]

Nifty!

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

How long for a 1/35 scale drum ?

How long for a 1/35 scale drum ?

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

[chriswil42]

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.

Printed off a telephone box. The scale looks about 1/50.
Rescaling to get 1/36 for you Martin.
