I wrote it right on the pieces?

I would reboot and try again. Not sure what the problem is.

Thanks for watching Don! Everyone loves Frank 😎

Thank you, I’m glad that you found this video helpful.

My pleasure! Thank you for watching and leaving me feedback👍

For those prints I printed them at .025 resolution 2.4 sec exposure. The rest was standard settings. Some of the pieces had to be done a couple times to get perfect.

I bought the wash and cure station from Amazon when I bought my first printer. It is Anycubic brand but they all work the same.

Correct, this video was for meta search. Most people don’t bother to watch longer videos when all they want is the answer to a question.

So I’m not the only one that does this? Lol 😂. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment bud.

Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment Mike👍

@@ScaleModelExperiment Always a pleasure my friend, if i can help you and James in any way please let me know.

I’m no expert these are my opinions

@ScaleModelExperiment nonsense man, don't sell yourself short, you've had incredible success in this platform and others. You're more than qualified

@scaleffect Thank you! I’m still just James 😎

I mounted it after the stripes.

I have not, I think that’s a great idea for a follow up video to angles. Say I print at 37 degrees and test each anti aliasing setting?

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately they were playing music at the venue over loud speakers so I couldn’t leave it in the video due to copywriting. What sort of music would you prefer to appeal to the masses?

@@ScaleModelExperiment Given the choice, car related songs from the sixties and seventies.

@MWM-x6h no such thing in UA-cam library of copyright free music.

@@ScaleModelExperiment ☹

I printed them at an angle.

Of course my friend👍

Correct, that’s why I did the example at 37 degrees. That’s the magic number for my printer.

I put all of my supports on the bottom and inside of the body. So for the most part I’m cleaning up just the edges, rockers and wheel lips.

Of course Luke, thanks for watching and leaving me a comment👍

Hi Barry, 3d printed kits are not cheaper than plastic model kits. Once you consider the expense of the equipment and supplies you are not saving. BUT, the variety of stuff that is available is amazing and it’s fun to print your own unique stuff. I wish I was in the market for a new printer as I would buy the new 16k machine for myself😁

Thank you so much Carl, I appreciate the support 👍

I totally agree with you Doc, he is beyond generous 👍

Thanks bud👍

Thanks for watching DVDW 👍😎

Understood, primer would have shown the texture better. Trust me the lighting was there 😁

Thank you so much Ken, I truly appreciate your generous gift. I’ll keep doing experiments with the resin printers to not only teach but explore techniques. Thanks again, James😁

Thanks for watching Mike👍 I see so many people disagree about print angles so I had to do the experiment 🤓

That’s a good point. Maybe do the 45 degrees with various levels of AA to see if I can get a perfect print?

I forgot to ask, were you using any anti-aliasing at all?

You’re absolutely right, changing any of those things can change the final outcome.

@modelcarsandmayhem8089 I don’t use AA at all. I never experimented with it. Time for another video I guess 😁

For sure, it’s a trade off… time spent on the computer vs time spent on the printer vs time spent at the bench fixing. It’s all time spent. Choose your favorite I guess. I’m lazy so I’d rather spend the time on the computer and printer.

Thanks for watching👍 just remember that what works for me in my environment may not work for you. I talk with friends that use a 1.5 sec exposure time and print faster lift speeds and don’t have any issues.

@ Yes thank you, Im watching loads of peoples' resin printing channels. The FDM printers have shown test, test, test to find the right settings, so hopefully the learning curve will be slightly less. Im not a newbie to 3d printing just the resin side. Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

@piccadillymodelrailways of course! My pleasure!

Thanks Travis👍

Dude, I understand! Thanks for coming back to me KC, I hope that you are all fixed up now.

​@ScaleModelExperiment you're welcome, and temporary, till Monday, as we go to town, 120 klm round trip living in the country, I've learnt a lot watching your experiments ❤ Awesome helpful stuff 👌👊🦘🇦🇺

@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS you’re welcome Aussie bud👍

Haha, sorry don’t have any at our house.

Yes it does Gary! Thanks for watching 👍

I had to do the experiment for myself. I was actually suprised by the 45 degree one.

stop wondering. There is no single optimum print angle. It always depends on the part and how it’s going to be used.

@ good point. The whole purpose of the experiment was to show at what angle do you see the least amount of print lines on a flat surface.

Thanks For watching Ronny 👍

Hey Bill, I use another brand heater in my other printer. That one has a thermostat but isn’t as pretty. You’re so right about what may work for some may not for others. I wanted to show the truth in this video. No mistaking what I saw.

Clear will not even out rough base coat. To get a good finish you’ll need to flatten the base before clear. Sorry

@@ScaleModelExperiment OK, thanks. It was SMS Auto Wild Violet. I expected it to be glossy finish but is dry and gritty like super matt lol Will start with a 1000 grit wet and see where that gets me. Lovely colour though. Will let you know how it goes. Cheers mate!

@waynobeav2154 I would guess that either you didn’t thin it enough or you were too far away with your spray and it dried before it got to the model.

That started as a pipette that I cut to the right size.

I like to use Elegoo 8k resin in vanilla and white smoke. Some people like the darker colors, I like tbs lighter so I can paint them in light colors without a lot of primer.

@ScaleModelExperiment I saw your episode on windshields I can't find a lot of info Seams like there is room to fill that space As in develop a reliable process and offer them for sale Maybe we could partner on it

@ here’s the truth… it takes 3-5 tries to get a usable windshield vacuum forming. The sheets aren’t cheap so say you were to sell them, you’d have $6 in material (resin plus plastic) invested. Who would pay $12 for a window set? You’d have to sell 10 to make it worth your time and what kit would you certainly sell 10 of?

@ScaleModelExperiment At this point I feel the need to explain my self I'm 59 with a job that pays well I have no aspirations to start a model part supply business That being said The pre printed resin models I see are priced at $100 and do not come with a windshield So with out the equipment to print the buck and vacuform the windshield I would think I'd be glad to pay $12 And I would look at any income as return on investment for the equipment By the way I get a lot out of your videos Thank You

@ thank you Richard. I’m busy enough with work, YT and building to keep a side hustle out. Someone will step up to do it.

I had to check out their site. I believe that the big parts are cast resin and the small parts are printed resin. I won’t defend their pricing but I will tell you there is a lot of cost and labor involved in making such a small run of kits.

@@ScaleModelExperiment I get that, but you'd have to be mad to pay that much for a 1/25 model car kit. I've bought $200 kits before, like Itelari's 1/12 Alfa Romeo TC8300, but the motor alone has 100 parts. I do like the idea of making my own though.

@ I get that too. It’s all about the fun you have. I could buy a $10 Ollie’s kit and curse or buy a $160 PZY kit and curse. 😂

I’m not sure so I leave it to dry for about an hour.

Thank you so much for watching. It’s funny you say that. For some cars like exotics and show cars that’s an appropriate shine. Now if I was building a NASCAR or old Dodge it wouldn’t be appropriate to make it shine like that.

@@ScaleModelExperiment Could you tell me where you got your sanding sponges? I am having trouble finding 8-12k grit sanding sponges.

@jamesjewett2469 Amazon is where I bought them. Here is my Amazon affiliate link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07YG9S7TY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WNDE95V5WEM0V7KMADA1?linkCode=ml2&tag=scalemodelexp-20

@@ScaleModelExperiment Thank you!!

Hi Gabor, I use the newest version of free Chitubox 2.3. I believe that the grid raft is under advanced settings. There is no percentage but instead you tell it how many mm apart the supports should be. I chose 4.1mm apart. I hope this helps.

⁠ yes thanks. I realized mine is older so I updated it. do you always use grid raft? do you use the original settings for printing? how thick is it the raft. thank you again I don’t want to disturb yo

@v8cowboy69 I do use a raft and keep the bottom layers at 5 with 5 transitional layers.

Thanks a lot!👍🏻

Thanks for watching and leaving feedback. I will finish that BMW as it is really close to being finished👍

The Yaris is a must finish on my list! Thanks for watching and leaving feedback 👍
