3D printed 1:400 stuff I make :)

[TheEpicBirb]

hi
i like 3d printing stuff and i also sell some 3d printed planes on ebay
heres a thread full of a bunch of 1:400 stuff that i print and it can also show the progression and improvements in models over time
i thought id make it here so i can share what i make
everything is printed on an fdm printer, and i will try to find photos of my early models.

for now heres some examples of stuff ive made:

Just finished this 1:400 Q400 ive been working on for a while. I was able to get a 0.25mm nozzle to print this out. It has a snap on design so the wings snap into place (great for customs) and the props do spin if you push them with your finger
im really happy with the result of this and i hope i can improve it
(also its not tail heavy either)

Would love to see the Osprey in Marine green!

Would love to see the Osprey in Marine green!

I could do that someday, would you want to see it in a full green color or any specific livery which has marine green on it? (example: presidential support mv-22 osprey)

 

[OllieBHaas25]

1. These look awesome!
2. Did you make the q400 file yourself?
3. Would love to see a Widerøe Q400

Are you planning to do the VFW-Fokker 614 and/or the Dassult Mecure?

Yup that’s the one! Am working on a diorama with a little presidential section

Thanks, I did make the Q400 file myself in Blender
Im not the greatest at painting and/or making decals but I am working on some other liveries just to practice before I begin some harder liveries.

I intend to hopefully get my 3D printed stuff all back on sale in July since everything is off my ebay page until June since I am pretty busy with other work.

I have not planned on doing a Fokker 614 but I do have the Dassault Mercure on my list at the moment. I could do the 614 since I don't really know what stuff to model.

Yep I should be able to do that, it might be a bit of a wait until I can make it but once I get the time I can do that, do you have any other suggestions on what I can make?

737-100 I've had in the works for a little bit, took a break from it for a while but today I just worked on the wings.

So this is a funny story.
The Q400 I posted earlier is actually based on a Q300 model I made previously. It is just a modified version of it.
Today I decided to print the Q300 since I wanted to test it but I have come to the conclusion that there are somehow some issues in the Q300 that the 400 does not have. For example the props on the 300 don't spin or even insert into the holes in the engines, and the gear are quite large too. I am pretty happy with this one too.

Yes, this does need much improvement, but that's the greatness of 3D printing. For diecast models, if a mistake is made on a mould a LOT of money would go into fixing it, but for 3D printed models it can easily be fixed in the program the model was made in and re-printed for a much lower cost.

Would be great and no doubt that I buy both in a heartbeat.

Both are very unique and both have never been made in 1:400 before.

Ill give both of them a shot sometime soon,
I believe they are going to be interesting models but decals may be an issue.

737-100 with early engines complete!
