    Sorry for the delay in replies. I'm in Australia and we just got hit with a major lockdown due to Covid and I have been running around trying to support family. For those of you interested in using a laser to cut up some paper models, I will be working on a video and walkthrough very soon, but...

    Wow... that is an amazing piece of work! Some people might think that paper models are for kids, but that is truly a piece of art! :) -Skyler101

    3D Printing Basics

    I am trying to do that with a large format printer I have (Think Ender with a huge bed) and ran into some problems. Did you have to change the software setting at all when you changed the drivers? I have been getting jumps in belt travel... an absolute no no when printing an object... and...

    3D Printing Basics

    While I don't have an Ender 3, they are amazing value for price and a great beginners level printer. Not only that, they produce an amazing result, and there are enough out there in the wild that you can find support all over the interwebs. If I were going to buy another printer, I would get...

    Wanted to show you my first test. This was a paper model I received a few years ago, from a Micronauts toy fan. You can see half the model built (I gave up using a glue stick!) but you can definitely see what remains from the template. -Skyler101

    I have done a little modelling for 3D printing, and your right, there is so much to learn on that subject. All the models you see were found online and modified before I printed them. I use Meshmixer to change orientation, fix problems and do what I need. I seem to save everything out to .STL...

    Thank you for the welcome Rhaven Blaack, I have seen your work on the RPF and am inspire by what you all create. This has to be one of the most welcoming forums I have joined in some time I want to clarify.... I use a diode laser to cut out the parts that are printed onto paper, and even use...

    Viper Pilot helmet is a holy grail item for me (since I was a child watching the show on its first run) and is 3D printed with fiberglass jacket. Took me some time to learn how to do that, but it was worth the climb. Han Solo blaster and Clip Gun from Blake's 7 along with the Cosmogun are 3D...

    No problem. I am putting together a video showing what I do, but basically I get my diode laser to cut and score the parts, so once the job is done, its like the old "punch out" books you used to buy int the 70's and 80's. Saves ma a lot of time cutting out, and is repeatable so its a fun...

    Hi Guys, Recently I was over at the RPF and I discovered the amazing Battlestar Galactica colonial viper model that led me to this amazing forum. I used to play around with paper models but since seeing the amazing work that you guys have been doing here to decide to jump straight back in...
