Beim ersten Lesen deines Berichtes ist man einfach nur sprachlos. Die Fülle an Hinweise, Tipps und genialer Lösungen ust überwältigend. Beim zweiten Lesen erkennt man deine präzise Vorgehensweise. Beim dritten Lesen wird die Motivation geweckt,es Dir gleich zu tun. Deine Arbeit motiviert und zeigt einen ganz anderen Weg zu einem wunderschönen Modell. Du zeigst Wege , die einem normal verschloßen sind. Nachvollziehbar, sehr gut Schritt für Schritt erklärt. Sehr lehrreich dein Bericht und die Einzelergebnisse sprechen für sich. Danke fürs Zeigen.

You're holding on too tight, Sergey. It was a little joke.

English isn't my native language, and the translation made it seem more sarcastic... that all the effort isn't worth it when it can all be done much more easily in a couple of days, and that devalues all my work. (Although I understand that I may be overcomplicating things, but I do it the other way around to make things as simple and quick as possible, without physical effort.)

Vielen Dank. Es freut mich, dass es Ihnen nützlich ist; das motiviert mich sehr, weiterzumachen.

I understand about translation difficulties. But this is not the day we are meeting for the first time. I am confident you know my character and temperament from our many previous interactions. Communication is difficult on social media platforms - to that end I try to always assume the best of others rather than the worst (though I too sometimes fail in this regard). Peace, my friend.

It becomes an issue of using new technology, versus old fashion manual labor to produce parts that are visually identical, and since they are for models, strength is not a real issue.

I like the idea of being able to print and plate something that maybe is to complicated to do by had without many tools.

But on the opposite view, either new or old ways cost for initial setup of equipment and supplies.

I think Doc K just likes to drill things for the fun of it, like he does at work! And he keeps it up at home on the models.

Sometimes I take my hobby too seriously... because right now it's the only thing that keeps me mentally healthy.

Yup, he nails everything, even parts that don't see daylight anymore after finish. But I understand, practise makes the master driller.

@serikoff I like this very much, is it possible to do the same with wood or Fimo? I was thinking about ornaments, goldplated.

Don't forget that I'm a dentist too.

If the material isn't metallic, you need to coat it with graphite or copper varnish. If you coat it with a sufficient layer, I think wood would work, but I haven't tried it. In theory, it should work on anything less stable. I have doubts about plasticine and other unstable substances. Clay should also work, but I haven't tried it.
