Hello so I recently purchased a Raptor from Creality and my goal was to scan an entire 1/24 model kit to print on my resin printer. Yes I’m aware that’s a lot of work and time but I enjoy making multiple builds of certain vehicles and some of these kits can get very expensive so I figured I’d give it a shot and it’s been eh so far. I cannot get a great scan of the body, it just never comes out 100% right. This is my very first scan of the interior and it came out amazing but my question is how can I achieve this with almost every part? I’m okay with certain amount of errors on the scans and I can deal with it but it’s to the point where I can’t even bother printing it. I read that scanners struggle when it comes to shiny objects and the car body isn’t super shiny but it has a little small shine to it. I ordered scanning spray to see if that’ll help but I’m honestly close to giving up. I’m in the return window for the scanner so I thought about returning it. Do you guys think this is too impossible and ambitious of a task to do? Any help would b great

After waiting a year and a half, just transferred back to my old building last week and got it my second week back. I guess I didn’t transfer for nothing🙏🙏 I’ve been waiting for so long I forgot blue badge was even a thing

Hello guys so I’ve never attempted any of like this before, this is a tooned 200sx in Id say a 1/12 scale? It’s about 15 inches long but anyways. It’s 3d printed and has tons of layer lines and obviously the holes where I had to join everything together but anybody have any insight on how I could approach this? I’ve so far just printed the body and moving onto the bumper. Im even questioning if my Eclipse HP-CS would be able to tackle this as it’s pretty big lol! But anyways if anybody has any tips on how I could go about this I’d love the help! Biggest kit I’ve ever built was 1/24 so this is definitely a step up

Hello so I am trying to print Anycubic clear resin in my S4U 12k and I’m getting very bad side layer lines no matter what, I’ve tried adding more supports and reorienting them and I still get bad layer lines. Settings in 3rd slide and support settings in 4th slide. I tried clear coating after curing but since it’s clear it’s very visible and pretty much makes the piece useless. Could this be sanded out? Any help is appreciated

Hello I’m looking to import a JZS171 from CarsFromJapan.com and I’ve got my eye on one listed at 5.5k, I know there’s fees and tariffs when it comes to this so what’s that like? This is my first time and I’m looking to spend 8-9k max as there is one by me for 10k. I’m going to be importing to California and driving over there to pick it up as I’m in Arizona. Has anybody had experience importing it? I would love to know any more information thanks!
