In my videos I'm showing all sorts of tips and trick about model car building. I do tutorials( how to's ),model kit builds, unboxing reviews and all sorts of other scale model related stuff.

Also don't forget to like us on Facebook & Instagram for project updates and news.

Oh man... I need a 3D printer like, BADLY. It would help all 37 hobbies I have lol

[fflitzpiepe]

These are very nice informations. I see so many potential for wire wheels, especially for pre war cars. Very nice!

That Land Rover Defender front end looks great! I've heard so many people saying they want to build one in 1/24 instead of the Series 3.

i just received my Anycubic Photon Mono X, so this is perfect! :)
I’m planning on using it for making some fictional steam locomotives in kit form.

Thanks for showing the capabilities of the 3D printer for model building 🐭👍

[Darckstar]

I know there's alot of stuff for tank modeling. Cars, trucks not so much. As you said best results start with a great file.

[moonpie]

So what I'm understanding is the file was great 👍

[kennethmoody]

Would love to see complete models done on the 3D printer as I'm thinking about getting one

[xagvsx]

Be grateful for that print quality. Took me years of trial and error to dial support settings. I don't know if that was your case but at least from what I see in the video, you managed to get great result fairly quickly. Congrats on that and keep up the good work!

I had considered resin printing models in the style of conventional model kits; this seemed a fruitless endeavour, since I was limited by the precision of available models (or lack thereof), and the ideas I had were either better catered for in existing kits, or decent 3D models were as difficult to locate as any other kit.

3D printing is good for details like those wheels you showed, where the precision is higher than can be achieved by casts and molds, but a full kit in resin would be extremely costly in time and materials.

Have you seen Plasmo 3d printing the entire War Rig from Mad Max? Not sure if that postapo fits your taste but man, that was such an impressive build

FYI Jay Leno and his team actually scan and 3d print (out of metal) parts for old cars that cannot be purchased anymore. Quite amazing really. So there should be no reason that model kits cannot be 3D printed.

I have a 3D Printer guy that printed me a 1/64 scale international scout for a diorama I was making for my Pops, took him a couple tries, but by gawd he did it and it was awesome!

[Galaktican]

I would like to see the companies that make these models embrace the 3d printing communities. Maybe, offer their model pieces as 3d files that can be downloaded at a reduced price as one example.

I just print the full body hollowed with two holes. Painting is the difficult part to me, im still learning, it´s a process.

[SlowlysModels]

Man those prints are big! Love seeing that kind of stuff becoming more common and accessible, we are in for a wild ride over the next few years as far as printing and files go! I'll stick to my smaller printer and just doing wheels though haha! Cheers for the shoutout! More wheels coming when I do em! lol

[WinstonCorneilius]

I’ve found I can put holes before printing during the slicing and it helps with the oozing

[vikinglore]

This would be fantastic for Art Deco style cars since models of them seem to be non existent. Very cool!

[agcacustoms]

I’ve only really seen 3D printing with resin printers as using a filament printer to be very smooth and not loose lots of detail would take such a long time it wouldn’t even be worth it. This is a great video, not only as a basic printer set up for printing models and also what can be done with a printer of this size.

I admit I skipped through the vid a bit but looking at the Tesla(?) at around 5:00, I think I see a couple of issues, offhand. The bottom of the body looking lumpy: This is usually indicative of a more parallel print to the build plate facing and you can mitigate it by printing it at an angle. This helps with certain layer support challenges that cause that lumpiness (it's the thinness of the material surface moving up and down through the resin medium and not contacting the FEP as it should - imagine dropping a bed sheet to the ground while holding two corners. It's not guaranteed to contact the ground perfectly partly because of how thin it is. Printing at an an angle helps support and control the amount of surface area being printed)
I'd suggest that you print the model hollow with a 'drain hole' on the top and bottom orientations. This would reduce suction and allow resin and air to move more freely through the model as the build moves up and down on the Z. It would also save you resin and relieve some unnecessary sticking challenges between the FEP and supports
