Such a cool thread going on here. LOTS of eye candy and I'm definitely going to have to acquire a printer now. Haha...Joe's got the bug now like me  . I'm ready to pull the trigger. Just waiting to see if Elegoo is running any sales for Christmas. Right??!! I just need to find the best printer for the dollar.  |

Saw this on Cults and it got my attention. You just don't see this model. The only thing I don't like is the front grille is part of the body. Makes it very difficult to airbrush it chrome. ![]()  |

Makes it very difficult to airbrush it chrome. ![]() i would print it twice and cut the grille from one body to use on the other. i've found it to be the easiest way. but you said you know 3d drawing so you could probably remove the grille before printing it out. i've used a lot of parts from this guy and he was happy to do fatman steering wheel design for me. i'm planning to get a load of his 30s bodies for lowrider bombs |

I see now that he sells a lot on ebay. |

another item worth having is a uv light for nail varnish/polish. with one of them you wont need filler for your prints as you can brush n more resin and use the nail light to cure it. they cost less than 10 bucks delivered. its ideal also for some bodies that may be a little thin and prone to warping as they cure as you can build up the inside to add more rigidity. i just printed a vw brasilia this needs done on
