I made a parametric storage box just for fun. Parametric = change the box dimensions drives all the other dimensions & features to self adjust. The box slot, lid dimensions, finger slot, friction wedge... Anyway some corners & edges to clean up a bit with blade or light grit sandpaper. Its not...

That style was more common on the lighter duty mills. I had one on my RF45. The mounting was a bit simpler with the angle bracket attaching to the table. You can still get them. It also has some disadvantages but they work

Thanks. I have seen some YouTube videos on that stuff & other FX for movie industry, very cool. I've used lots of epoxy laminating resins but have yet to play with UV. I understand exactly what you are doing, done that too. Maybe you know already but Cabosil/Aerosil (fumed silica) is a good...

It will never see air, maybe for the best although it would be a sight. Personally I like it more in the bones, but maybe that's personal, sentimental value. Oh and it has a brand new matching rotary engine. It was apparently found in boxes wrapped in original oil paper tucked away in some barn...

I've been using (well testing) regular CA glue & seems to be holding reasonably well. Again, I was quite surprised. Plastics can be quite finicky. This Gorilla clear was a complete fail, peeled right off on the bond surface even though the external joint seemed hard. I had high hopes because...

Looks like I didn't take pics of regular rattle can spray bomb paints but they sprayed & cured predictably. I bought some of this 'Hammertone' paint for metalworking projects, it sprayed OK. I'm finding some hammer paints spray better than others, but haven't zeroed it down to brand or color...

How about tips, tricks, fails & things we do to parts AFTER they are printed? I'll start with this one. One of the things I want to do is make plugs or molds from 3D parts to then make composite parts The typical print striations & plate texture is not conducive to a slick finish so just...

I worked on this plane as a teenager, many moons ago. It was in the basement of Centennial Planetarium. https://thehangarmuseum.ca/our-collections/sopwith-triplane For kicks I just had to check the price of aircraft ply & spruce (HOLY $HIT)...
