Hi Dean! I'm still slowly plodding toward printing the decorations.Hey Kurt, just checking in on you. I commend your efforts to learn the software and create hundreds of printable ornaments. Then the printing and painting will be very time consuming. But in the end your ship will be a real visual treat. But I think you enjoy the journey, which is important!
Let me know if you need a tutorial on Chitubox slicer software. Once you get the settings right…it’s pretty straight forward. And part orientation for supports is important. There are settings specific to the type resin you use, like curing time between layers, etc. I like using the water based resin, you use water to cleanup parts instead of alcohol and it prints excellent. Anyway, give me a shout when the time comes!Hi Dean! I'm still slowly plodding toward printing the decorations.
I'm getting there! And, YES I will need help with getting the printer up and running and doing some test prints. You're on my teachers list! The resin i have requires alcohol for cleaning. I have gray and yellow resin. However, because all the decorations will be gold, I should have bought black resin. I'm thinking you may be able to walk me through the process over the phone or zoom chat when the time comes. We could talk shop!Let me know if you need a tutorial on Chitubox slicer software.

So tempted to comment on that, but I’ll abstain for the moment
No. The model just came out that way. Want me to make them more perky? (Watch this thread topic go WAY off on a tangent, guys..)
Objectively, they would be a closer match to the drawing if you did, I think
