Good for you! 3D printing can be a real PITA, but it is also very satisfying. I finally got to the point where I designed and printed the little green wagon in my avatar. That sort of thing gives me a lot of satisfaction. Keep up the good work.

A friend of mine has a Sublime Green Dodge Charger. So when I saw this filament, I bought it with the idea of making something for him with my 3D printer. I downloaded the steering wheel and seat from Thingiverse, and the wheelie bar connecting rods are stainless steel rod. I designed and built...

I never was a paramedic, but if I was, I'd sure rather drive an Olds 442 W-30 than some hulking E350 diesel.

I've been working for about a month to upgrade the quality of my 3D printed parts. My light bars are cleaner, with much less stringing. I finally bought a pin vise so I could drill holes in the A pillars and mount the spotlights in a more realistic manner. Alabama state trooper.

I just bought some Mirror chrome paint from Culture Hustle. It looks amazing, and I think once it has cured you can touch it. I may experiment with shooting it with a coat of semi-flat clear to see if it ends up looking like stainless.
