Got the parts Wednesday. I need to find a camera that is not a phone
The level of detail FUD gets is quite nice. Panel lines .2 mm across or deep came through fine. I did lose some others because of depth I think.
Looking over the pieces as printed and comparing them to the exploded view several things become apparent. Part placement and object orientation seriously effect the quality of printing, the underside being severely effected by what I assume to be the support medium.
When I can get a camera on these bits it will far more apparent.
Couple questions particularly for those whom have cast printed bits.
There feels like some kind of residue on the deep welled parts, is this a dissolving agent used to remove the support material, and more importantly what can I use to safely remove this residue?
I know I need to use a mold release agent so that my silicone molds don't grip on the micro stepping, but what kind of primer should I use to seal the pieces?
I am filing some of the obvious surface irregularities off the pieces but I think a good coat of primer might do a lot of this for me.
So excited, this is a 18 year dream come true. I and several of my gaming buddies were looking at CAD machines in the 90's to do this kind of thing. Now it is as easy as submitting a OBJ file and waiting. This may become the new hobby for me. Fun times.
