Valeu pela força Teles!

Jacques, with the main body and the bottom ready now I think that 60 - 70% of the job is concluded. My next task is start to draw the PE´s and decals, very easy task, but here I´ll need some funds to carry on with the project :lol: I´ll do, be sure. Most of you can think this project is very delayed, but I always read some topics where some people complain about the low or very bad quality of some garage kits... I don´t want that my kit be one of them, I want to perform the best I can and this search for perfection takes a extra time, that´s it. Thank you all for your attention!

Very nice.
I think you can reduce your layer hight further though.

Unless this is just a test print for speed?

I'm printing in 0.1mm layers and thinner layers increases too much the printing time. I'm using a FDM printer, it will requires putty and sanding anyway in all surface and the final result has been satisfactory despite the height of layer. For sure you need extra patience, accuracy and very very soft fingers at sanding :lol:

Brave man! Running this through an FDM printer. Out of curiousity - may I ask for the printing time and the general setup (printer, nozzle size, ...)? Since I have both an FDM (Ender v3 with 0.2 nozzle I believe) and a resin printer (Anycubic Photon) and can compare the printing times for both (newsflash: resin usually wins by a significant margin). Depending on size, but yours must be through the roof at 0.1mm.
Again, kudos for what you are doing, especially with an FDM printer. :)
Cheers,
Roman

You should try to print it in vertical.
It produces much better results ;)

Thx mate. This part took +- 6:30 hours because the settings on Cura looking for better results (slower, less temperature on hotend). The nozzle is a standart 0.4mm of the BQ B1. PLA filament.
