3D Printed Parts
« on: September 15, 2015, 09:45:05 am »

I was trying to post this as a reply into the Shapeways 3D parts section but the topic seems to be closed as there is no "reply" button" showing.


Anyway, some time back I asked Marmoi about davits and 2 pdr guns. As nothing ever popped up on this forum about them, I assumed nothing had happened. Wrong. I checked the other week on Shapeways and they are available. Mine just arrived and they are very very nice.


Shots of the actual parts whaler & motor boat davits, 2 pdr and a 20mm oerlikons are attached. Being small, they are a right b@#$ to try and focus on.

Looks like FUD to me.....
A kind of acrylic resin - takes fine detail well but can be brittle.  Needs handling with care if it isn't to break.

That's right, Frosted Ultra Detail (FUD).
