[ Closed ] 2017 Christmas Giveaway (Page 1 of 2)

id like to enter. ill donate a caliper

I will donate a SLA printed model of the Death Dealer I'm currently working on, ready to be finished and painted.

BTW, how does the donation thing work, do we wait for the winner and then ship them the item?  Or do I have to send the model to Ward or whomever is running the raffle.

Yep I’ll draw names and post who won what.  Winner can then contact (PM) the donor and shipping arrangements can be arranged between the two parties.

I'll donate an exacto knife set.

I am donating a 1KG spool of MakeShaper ABS filament...winner's choice of color!

Wish I had something to donate... Will have to look around and see if I have anything anyone would want. But please enter me as well.

Haven't been here in a while. Got a free moment at work and remembered Soliforum.

Finished it just in time.  Here is the model some lucky winner will receive for our 2017 Christmas Giveaway

Special thanks to Kronikabuse! Just received the digital caliper, and this bad boy is waaaaaay better than the el cheapo Harbor Freight set I was using previously. (Which I haven't been able to find recently)

Merry Christmas / Happy New Year, thanks to everyone involved in this giveaway!

Glad you like it. 

Anyway, I posted about the build and scan in another post.  You can follow the process there:

If you plan on painting the model, take a look at the web site below.  They make 1/4 scale version of the dealer that absolutely awesome, if you can afford the $800 price tag.  But they have detailed photos which are a good guide on how it should look like when painted.

Regarding SLA printers, if you print mechanical models, and small details and surface quality are not an issue, FDM printers are very good at it.  One of their advantages are also the large selection of materials and material colors, the large build volumes, and not in the least their low cost, both to buy and to operate.

SLA printers on the other hand have near injection molded quality output, are almost silent to operate, but the material selection is somewhat limited, and they are expensive to own and operate.

So one has to make a decision as to what it is they want to print, and what quality is good enough. 

I've had a real good time with my Solidoodle (I still have it, but don't use it almost at all), and I learned a lot.  It was affordable enough to get me started with 3D printing, and for that I will always have a soft spot in my heart, but for me, SLA was they way to go.
