    That was a very informative video showing just what a good 3D printer is now. 3D printing is a mystery to me even now. I hope to continue to learn more through your videos and sitting next to you!

      I’m happy to share Pat, it’s all so interesting to me and when I learn something I can’t wait to share it.

      Aren’t they cool? They have 5 different cars in the series and are making more all the time. I’ll buy them all because I’m an idiot like that.

    Audi has incredible details, just subscribed to his cults page, and Tuner I'm already subscribed he has cool stuff and awesome wheels, thats a cool tuner car 😊❤

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  13 дней назад +2

      3DVM does really nice work. I bought his Audi TT coupe first then had to buy the Alpine and now the Roadster. Only one I don’t have (yet) is his Porsche 992. Tuner kits is amazing in its fit and function. You’d never believe that the kits are snap together. I’ll have fun painting the drift car! Thanks for watching Aussie Bud, I appreciate you man!

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  13 дней назад +1

      Hi Terry, it works pretty good. I do turn on my paint booth while I’m printing to evacuate any fumes in the room. I wouldn’t have one in my office next to me while I work.

    I've bought two 3 ultras, because it's a proven quality and I really enjoy resolution. It's night and day comparing with 2K printer I've used to have. 43 scale looks like 24 in detils. In the future, with more comments about 4, it's going to be more clear.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  11 дней назад +1

      I’ve been using the 3 more than the 4 lately because it’s easier to WiFi transfer the files. They both print awesome. My first machine was a 4k so I know what you mean.

    So i just bought a saturn 3 ultra
    Have no clue
    I found files on cult
    But don't remember seeing that body where else can I look
    I'm interested in what I would call aftermarket parts and stuff for my boats and motorcycle parts
    I bought mine used
    Hoping for the best
    Got resin ,bags ,gloves ,film ,alchaol wash and dry station for 250
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated James
    Thanks
    ✌️

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад +1

      Sounds to me like you got a good deal for $250. Check the links that I put in the comments for the two I showcased. I like to use search words like Tamiya Aoshima and Hasegawa for kit specific parts. Engines, wheels and such I have no clue how to find them.

  • @IamBlackdragon
    @IamBlackdragon 13 дней назад

    The Saturn 3 actually has a taller build volume of 260mm opposed to the Saturn 4's 220mm due to the 4's plate design which is not auto leveling that's just market hype.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад

      I apologize for the misinformation. You are right, the Saturn 3 Ultra can print taller things because the auto leveler isn't in the way. BUT, I have never leveled the 4...

  • @spankymcfarland8360
    @spankymcfarland8360 12 дней назад

    Can you share some of your support and print settings for the ultra 3?

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад

      although different machines and atmospheres have different settings, I use a 2.4 sec exposure time with 30 second bottom layer. 2 bottom layers, 8 transitional layers and print at .025 resolution.

  • @EQEmulation-x4z
    @EQEmulation-x4z 13 дней назад

    I have a couple filament printers and a revo 3d scanner already need to up my game with a resin printer might get 2 but tough to choose. You seem happy with this product seems most go mono instead of RGB bed, is there much of a difference in how they work, what's the advantages of mono well most say tge screen print bed lasts longer , these are sensitive to UV daylight as well. I'm curious if it comes with a UV light seems thats optional ?

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад

      I think that mono is the way to go since it is only flashing a single color onto the screen to cure a layer. The curing machine is a seperate purchase. I've been using the same one for almost 2 years now.

    • @EQEmulation-x4z
      @EQEmulation-x4z 12 дней назад

      @ScaleModelExperiment yea, from what I've read, mono is the one most choose ty for the information. I have 2 filament printers, currently the Kobra Maxx big one and one other a bit smaller.

  • @scalemodelfrenzy
    @scalemodelfrenzy 13 дней назад

    Curious what you have under your printers, is it just silicone mats?

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад

      Yes, I have silicon mats under the printers to keep the drips from falling down onto the stuff below them. If I had a spill it wouldn't do much good.

  • @eggie3797
    @eggie3797 7 дней назад

    G'day James
    i see a lot of 3d printing videos but they never show you how long to cure them in a curing station. I'm not sure if they are out there but if you could show how long you cure your 3d prints in the anycubic would be much appreciate.
    Regards Egg

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  7 дней назад

      I don’t think it makes a difference. I cure mine for 8 mins on one side flip the pieces and do 5 more. As long as they are dry and clean I think they are safe afterwards.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  9 дней назад

      I enjoy Elegoo’s 8k resin line. My favorite colors are Vanilla and White Smoke. I like the lighter colors because they can easily be painted lighter colors without a ton of white primer.

      That one in my opinion is the best one on the market right now. Maybe Elegoo will send me one of those next?

    • @EQEmulation-x4z
      @EQEmulation-x4z 12 дней назад

      @ScaleModelExperiment I may get 1 of each model the 3 and 4 what UV curing light you using ? I'm sure it's mentioned on your channel but it's easier to ask. I'm sure any of them will work, the air ventilation seems like a smart idea resin stinks like spray paint.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  12 дней назад +1

      My first machine was an Anycubic Mono X2. I bought the wash and cure to go with it and still use it with my Elegoo machine. The plate doesn’t fit inside the machine so I have to remove the parts first.

    AUDIE kit looked great too I'm a speedster roadster tye super car lover I'd prefer porsche speedster over hard top if u know what I'm trying to say I say porsche cause that is brand car in sports cars ike lámbos and ferraries I love them all but porsche comes first and as not convertable eather targa top glass top or speedster I'm actually thinking of doing something speedster soon I downloaded the GUNTER WERKS SPEEDSTER piece with engine cover which holds spoiler.. Just idea.. But Audie reminded cause it was convertable cool job james, 👍
