SPA Modeler

After six total re-designs, I finally am happy with my replacement spinner for my Monogram 1/48 P-51D's... This could be my first 3d print
If it goes well, I'll start working on replacement gun inserts for the wings..

Are you designing and printing these yourself?

Yessir. Been teaching myself CAD for the last year or so as my 3d printer gathers dust...
I hope to get my first print done in the next 30 days or so, after I figure out where to setup my printer that checks all the boxes such as adequate ventilation, temperature, etc...

Very cool. I want to do this to understand the tech, but just don't think I'd use it practically. I can send all my requests to you

It's definitely cool tech. Resin printing is such a different animal that FDM printing. Tons of info on youtube. So much cool stuff you can make to take your models to the next level (well if you build older kits anyway, or even newer 72'nd scale kits).

I really need to get going on this. You're making me feel lazy, Chris!

I think we should all inundate Chris with requests for detail parts

Nice, Chris.

Lazy is a label I would never think of slapping on you John! Your model output is probably 20 times higher than mine

Looks like he's a keeper for 3D business exclusively for SPAM.
