Today we finished the basic design for the funnel, and spliting the part into two sections (Blue funnel body and yellow steam pipes, and the green top with red mesh), we will 3D print this item once we have done a little more research to esure we have caprutred all the correct information. Funnel design…
Side Casemates
Today we spent time working on the design of the side casemates which were designed in a CAD program and then 3D printed in liquid resin to get the best finish when fitted and painted.These parts were printed using FunToDo black resin and on a Anycubic Photon printer. CAD drawing. 3D printed parts awaiting a…
Test Fitting Of Rear Deck
