Thanks! Same polish I always use on aluminum, lexan and now carbon fiber, Meguiar's Ultimate. I put a healthy daub on a flat sponge polishing pad and spin with a drill. To be honest, I really could not pick up the very minor scratch remnants with the camera, but I did try. Way better than it starte...

I'm gonna break the rules and post a picture that I've never actually taken. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :oops: This image is from Google maps. This "T" shaped bridge is the exact spot where the Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" on August 6th, 1945. hiroshima.jpg That domed struc...

Hey guys. Just joining the conversation here as I'm about to paint the body for my fr-01. I'm wondering what the consensus is regarding cutting out the windshield or any of the windows to promote airflow? I'm old school just getting back into the hobby and back in the day I had my esc mounted on th...

I was wondering about this one. It looks great Chuck. It appears that the hard work was worth the effort. This beautiful buggy is a true one-of-a-kind work of art and the nicest Mid I've seen. The build thread is amazing; packed full of information that will be useful for future generations. Congrat...

Man, that's a lot of stickers.
Your headlight decal application came out great. Well done sir! Was it as difficult as you thought

Overall, it looks awesome!!

Just a heads up, Bambu is having a nice sale right now. They have the X1C and P1S on sale as well as the A1 and A1 mini. Bambu very rarely has a sale, I picked up a couple more AMS for my existing machines https://us.store.bambulab.com/pages/black-friday-sale?from=navigation_bar Thank you Jeff. Aft...

I found that interesting to about early CATs too. Same with the front of the AYK Pro Radiant. There is much about the Avante suspension/steering design and geometry that is puzzling. Rear toe might have calmed some that platform's nervous handling. Why did the Avante series have no kick-up with onl...

The car looks so good! I have to remind myself; that's not lexan.
A beautiful model of a legend in auto racing. I don't blame you for not running it.

Incredible! Those look like resin prints. I'm amazed at how far FDM printers have advanced in the past couple years.
I'm also curious; how many rolls of filament have you used so far? I need to place an order and should I get a couple to start or ten or more?

Less than two spools?? WOW, that's incredible. Looking at everything you've printed, I was gonna guess maybe five or more. Anyway, that's in impressive looking machine. And more importantly, it makes very nice prints. I'm impressed! For material, I'm just fixed on printing ABS. I guess it's because ...

:lol: what a horrible way to go, ABS poisoning. Mine has the charcoal bag too, but I'm not counting on that. :D ... But you live in California where EVERYTHING is known to the state to cause cancer. Ever heard of Prop. 65? :lol: I remember staying at a hotel in LA a while back. Even the door to my ...

I've had more success with Amazon and ebay than failures, by far. I just ordered the QIDI Rapido PLA in Silver, should have it Friday. Running low on the gray, going to print a few of the last parts for the Manx dune buggy tonight, and then sand the parts, and start painting. https://i.imgur.com/93...

Ah, okay, thanks for correcting the weight. So, it appears that 1kg is the standard weight but maybe the spool OD isn't a standard. Silvertriple mentioned in another post that he received some filament spools that wouldn't fit his AMS. Anyway, it is what it is. Going back at the image of the chassis...

That 4 spool dryer is very cool.

Hey, is there a good youtube tutorial for OrcaSlicer that y'all can recommend? Perhaps something very basic for a newb like me?

Incredible! Your print looks as good as the injection molded part. Me thinks you made a wise choice with the QIDI printer.
