3D printed 1:400 stuff I make :)

[TheEpicBirb]

These are awesome, keep up the good work!

Thank you very much!
I got inspiration to do this after seeing some of your models earlier last year

737-100 printed out (with early engines w/o reversers)
fun stuff with it being a cradle kind of model lol

Hahaha, I'm also enriching my airport models through 3D printing technology, unfortunately I only have FDM printers, which don't have the same level of detail as light-curing 3D printers, and I'm still looking for a solution. Being too busy at work has slowed down my progress 。。。。。。

Those look awesome! I've also got an FDM printer and I'm also looking for solutions to get high detail without having to buy resin printers (due to those fumes)
Which printers do you have?

 

[panda_CAT]

I was thinking of getting a resin printer, but this one has toxicity it seems, and I don't have a dedicated studio to use it for a while, so I've given up, and I'm currently using a bambulab A1.

i have a resin printer, and can confirm the fumes are very strong, however if you have an empty room and an air purifier, it seem to work fine.

I don't have anywhere to put it for a while, so I ended up going with FDM and printing PLA material.

my house doesnt have many rooms where I can keep stuff, and the one where my 3d printer sits is actually a kitchen (we dont use it anymore but still store food there), and anyways we have a bedroom next door, that wouldnt be very fun lol

I was about to buy a resin printer aswell but after learning about the toxicity issues i just though "aw hell nah" and left it until i can make some kind of outdoor thing for it.

Here's the thing, so for the parts that FDM can't print, I've opted to pay for a print farm solution that，It also eliminates excess processing effort，I'm planning to buy the bambulab H2D next, and the two-color printing should solve the problem I'm currently experiencing as well.

I see.
bambu h2d is a cool printer, love the features its got

C208B with floats test 1
the leg things holding the floats together need to be thicker, the landing gear should be seperate since they broke off, maybe a new printing orientation should be tried out too, and print speed probably needs to be adjusted too.

 

[laxhistorian]

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?

Sorry for the late response. Would also be cool to see VH-92 (Marine One) -- haven't really seen any high quality 1:400 models. Another that I think would fill a market gap is High Hefner's Bunny plane (see 1:200 here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Playboy-DC-9-30-N950PB-1-200-Big-Bunny/386034846)

Could I perhaps have the airstair file? Ive been looking around for a good one and the seem to be few and far between, I’m willing to pay

I'll see what I can do about his bunny plane, but marine one seems a lot easier to do.

 

[TheEpicBirb]

I am aware this was posted in a 1:400 thread but I'd like to post all my printed stuff in a single thread so i can also view the progression and feedback in one thread, anyhow;
heres my 1:200 q400!

 

[TheEpicBirb]

I've got an EMB-120 model sitting around which I never really bothered to print out in the past.
Does anyone here have ideas on what I could perhaps paint some as?

united used to fly 120s into sacramento for a time, might be fun to give that a try. I believe they wore the globe scheme on some of not all frames? not entirely sure

I did try making some united decals for the 120 but my decal paper was not good
will proly give it a shot again sometime soon with decals bought from somewhere

Here is a pic painted in the Globe scheme.
