What sort of printer is required for this sort of quality? I have access to one that's not capable of stuff this smooth and am looking at a Creality Ender 3 next.

I would say something like the Anycubic Photon is used for something like this. I'm using that printer for similar tasks, currently doing different bolts and screws, rod ends and mayn many more parts for my 1/12 Toleman.

The photosn is amazing considering it's under 200€

The Ender is a filament printer, what you need for this quality is an SLA printer. If you print with filament you will not achieve the same accuracy as with a liquid (resin)!

I uploaded another picture of the raw state of the type Gold-Blue. So that there is no confusion :wink:

The unanswered question is: which printer did you use?

Are you happy with it ? I currently run my second Anycubic Photon because the first one simply "died" for no reason :)
It's amazing but slow.

Yes Daniel, I can't complain and I haven't regretted the purchase yet.
It is so much easier to implement and helps a lot with model building.
If you have a few design skills you can do so much with it - there are almost no limits to the ideas.

I did a lot of filament printing in advance, including metal printing, and I still find SLA printing so interesting and ingenious.

The new anycubic Photon Mono generation have much more lifetime, about 2000hr??, maybe?
and are very fast.
