Hey, Alpha, Do you know whether there is there a difference between stl files written for SLA and those written for filament 3DP? Best. LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

layer settings will mostly drive the detail resolution of the parts in the Z-axis, as your nozzle size is the limitation for the x-y plane (0.4mm nozzle). play around with part orientation to find the best resolution for the parts. I'd suggest ABS or PETG for those parts as PLA might soften and deform, even with the tinted canopy.

Thanks, DD. Do you think when I print the F-86 in ABS I should increase the nozzle temp above ABS listings? In PLA it prints at 230C as compared to 210C normally with Prusa settings. Again, the question is the thin wall construction of the stl files and not a warping issue, so far. LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

RCJD, I dig the structure but using ABS you could polish it somewhat. I tried acetone polish on a piece of the PLA filament and it clouded it. Also, the walls are so thin I am certain it would melt it. Have you tried smoothing your ABS structure? Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Hey Y'all, 3D Labs is offering a Pratt & Whitney 2800 Double Wasp engine for 3DP for $10. https://3dlabprint.com/shop/pratt-wh...r-2800-engine/ It is scaled to their Corsair which is approximately 1/6th scale. If you use 3DSimplify it can be scaled to fit the MotionRC Corsair or any airframe for that matter. I downloaded the files and will post here with pictures when I print it.

RFMBTX, Yeah, it looks pretty cool, perhaps I need a Corsair or a Hellcat. LOL I am currently printing our Croatian Squawk contributor MesRCPilot cockpit goodies for his Flightline Spit and will get that to him ASAP. Oh, and Tammes wants me to print transparent feathers and cubes with slots over the weekend. Don't ask, b'cuz, I don't have a clue.
