We all know just how quickly 3D printing is becoming established as the new black in the world of models. Those of us who bought into the Beacon Models Kickstarter program either have (or will have, says he still awaiting the postie) a number of 3D printed items, including the...

For ages, I have used Mr Mark Setter and Mr Mark Softer to aid in the decaling process. Earlier this year, I finally exhausted my bottles of both and found both my local hobby shops out of stock, so I returned to good ol' Micro Sol and Micro Set, which I used pre-Gunze. No...

You've piqued my interest, Tim! 175 CZK is around 12 Aussie dollars, so definitely good value for the three stands. I guess postage to Oz will be the key here. If it isn't prohibitive, I'd add one of those lovely little to the order. :idea:

Ok I've been giving serious thought to 3d printing. What had been holding me back had been
1. Price of printers and
2. Lack of expertise in design

I've recently seen ads for printers that come in circa £200 (saw one on YouTube for around £60.00 but it seemed very flimsy)

Hi Tony,

Thingiverse (all free) and cults3d (free and paid) have a fair selection to experiment with, although quality of the models can be variable.

I have an 18 month old anycubic mono too - effectively 2K , there's a 4K version of that now with 40% better resolution.

I've...
