Unfortunately I think I have reached it limits for space ships, since sculpting curved shapes is much harder.

I have made a few bucks though, so that is nice too! <br /><br />@Sitzkrieg! There are a ton of Trek designs out there, but with my limitations on sculpting tools (and skills) I found it was actually easier to do my own ships than it was to download and modify a ship made by someone else. I have a number of unprintable designs because the downloaded ship has too many errors, which is a bummer.

It looks like we both had the same idea during the last sale along with some similar interests! Some trek designs will actually probably be my next order as I'm curious if uploading the various designs available free online will work without tweaking for small scale printing (like increasing the depth on details like panel lines).

I’m not super familiar with how shapeways works, but it’s pretty cool to design ships and then buy your own designs, or is that mostly the point? 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267219886417954364.post-29169220048448937472019-01-03T08:44:23.931-08:002019-01-03T08:44:23.931-08:00@FourEyedMonster yeah, the resin is a liquid excep...@FourEyedMonster yeah, the resin is a liquid except where it is touched by sufficient UV light. In a home printer, the light is either provided by laser or by a masked off LCD screen, depending on the technology. Shapeways uses a more complicated technology where the material is deposited on the build plate and then UV cured.
