How To: 3D Print Custom Parts for Scale Modeling With an Elegoo Mars 3

[@MrGTAmodsgerman]

You didn't mentioned the most important part of this video: Nitril gloves and vapour mask

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Fair point

[@fierceflyer5]

The printing part is the easy thing. Learning CAD is a steep learning curve.

[@Dylan-ug6jp]

Seems like the Ariel Atom to me,. Can't wait to see it finished then, thank you so much for sharing Tom, wish I could afford one of these printers one day, they look really helpful.

[@Glynallaway]

That chassis looks like an Ariel Atom but could be a Nomad I guess, I just personally love the Atom! It’s an insane car!

[@SGTMARSHALL1]

Great looking wheels and helpful advice

[@slipknotfan2217]

holy crap, i just placed my order for a resin printer. perfect timing

[@rcscaler78]

I love 3d printing, ive got the anycubic photon & love designing/ printing wheels for my mini z cars & random parts for hot wheels

[@vernonleeper]

I have a FDM printer now and have made a few parts for my models , some things I can’t print with it, it’s just too difficult so I ordered a resin printer, should be here in a few days. Your video was very interesting and informative, thanks for sharing.

[@johngrubb1590]

It looks like a Ariel atom 500, very informative video like all your videos.😁👍👍

[@smithy2]

1 thing i wanted to do was print a 1/24 scale model car and parts, so this is great.. Also I couldnt hear your rain over the rain here so all good brother 👍🏼

[@dooley9621]

They look great mate thanks for sharing.

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

Outstanding. Thanks for showing how to do some of the technical stuff. Very helpful.

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

So far Tom, which has been your favorite printer with the best results with the least hassle? I trust your opinion as you’ve tested so many. Thanks, James

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

All the Resin 3d printers that i have tested and shown on the channel so far have worked fine with not much hassle. The Creality one i tested most recently was a good printer. The software/slicer they have you use simply sucks. I would suggest going for a Mono screen printer(those print 2 or 3 times faster than non Mono). Anycubic and Elegoo are both trusted brands in the industry. But do have a difference in price which can be seen back in the actual material used to build the printers

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Also something to add. If prints fail. 9 out of 10 Times it not the printer. Its the user setting up the file/supports/settings incorrectly😋🤭

[@ScaleModelExperiment]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Thank you so much Tom for your advice. I see so many people printing beautiful parts and even though I won’t design anything it is way cheaper to buy files than finished parts. Thanks again, James

[@bobz1736]

Can you re-use the resin that's left over after you've finished printing?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

yes, but only the uncured resin that is left in the vat

[@MammothPaige]

Cool

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very interesting. I’m looking forward to getting one.

[@kerrythompson9506]

When the guy who designed the original USB connector dies and is buried, they will attempt to lower the coffin into the ground, then raise it up, spin it around, and try again.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

That sounds fair😂

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

Estupendo video de la utilización de la Elegoo Marts 3 en la Impresión 3D de piezas para sus modelos a escala, respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤜🔥🤛👍💯🙏🙏

[@gtampako]

I have the same question to this kind of videos: how much resine do you use? Is there a way to measure it?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

The slicing software gives you an estimation

[@Xanth3r]

Space frame chassis for a BMW Z3-based drift beast 😁

[@SlowlysModels]

Sweet deep-dive! I'd love to get one of those Pro 3's, but Elegoo won't reply to all the feet pics I send them for some reason.

[@TowMansBuilds]

Great video.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Neat. I like the Ariel Atom or is that the nomad or whatever the off_roader is called? According to some minipainters and terrain builders you can cure the resin stuff so that it is cured but about 99%. It remains cured so, but is flexible a little. This way if you drop them they do not break as easy as fully cured can be brittle.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Interesting................................ 🤔

[@publiadvert2013]

Yes, Ariel Atom

[@freeatleast]

Can you set the layers to multiple build thickness or is it a one size per print?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

As far as i know. One size per print

[@filippus_]

thats an ariel car right?

[@GoT_17k]

LOL... please let me know in the comments what would be a better method - LOL

[@spisi695]

hello, I'm looking for a Mercedes Benz SLK dushboard in 1/24 scale for the Tamiya Kit is there anything about this?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I’m afraid not

[@SoulStealer702]

Kind of a FNG question. What is the best most user friendly CAD program to use to make the part files to print?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I’m not a capable 3D designer myself. So i’m no use, i use tinkercad when i need something.

[@d34dm3n1]

ariel atom 500's chassis?

[@rendaddy_]

Atom was why I clicked initially heh.

[@santos1431]

I was just wondering if there’s a website that that you use for your files if so do you mind linking it for me. Thanks for the amazing video.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Linked in the description.

[@fhciii]

It’s an Exocet

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

U Make it look so easy my test print rooks fail each test they start off fine but i hear them pull at the plastic fep or whatever end tray called then pulls off the plate any chance you could share a stl file for wheel u done lovely wheels id really appreciate it if can.? if you can my email is on the channel in about section.. If you cant no problem i understand.. U do great job anyways is it easyer to print in clear resin or is it same iv normal grey resin. They turned out beautiful great job👍

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Sorry, can’t share those files. Make sure the print bed is propperly leveled to the instructions from the manufacturer. Use the leveling paper and make sure it is done right. If it still does not work, contact support.

[@racnc1]

Is the liquid for resin reusable? What ever is left after the 3D printing is done. Thank you..

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes, it is reusable

[@jpht1964]

Your building an Ariel?

[@awash-mg8ce]

I want to get into 3D printing but I don't know where to start

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Hope this video helped then....

[@stephan4ever64]

Ariel Atom

[@haldirhellion]

Get a plastic razor blade & holder for removal. Best thing & no worries about bodily harm.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

They also come with plastic scrapers. Though prints get stuck on the plate sometimes. And those plastic ones dent, bend and or simple don’t have enough strength sometimes(from my personal experience)

[@haldirhellion]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel (not sure if my reply posted) Get an actual plastic razor blade. They come in a box of 100. They look like metal double sided razor blades. They are usually orange in color & come with a screw down holder. They easily get under prints on the build plate & very little damage to the pieces or plate itself. I started our with the plastic scraper but like you said doesn't really do much. I'll use it after the plastic blades if the piece is larger. I print mostly gaming miniatures on my Phrozen 4k mini.

[@HEMASimian]

Just an FYI, water washable is not any safer to use than regular resin. It's just as toxic, and definitely not any better for the environment. If you use water to wash it, it has to be disposed of at a hazardous material waste facility or evaporated. The marketing for these sometimes makes it seem like you can just wash it in your sink which is definitely not okay.

[@curtisnewton895]

how solid are the parts ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

14:27

[@stevenbrookover3934]

You sure like saying “actual”😉

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I actually really do! 😉

[@ahmedelgammal9331]

maybe it's Ariel !!?

[@garyreinke4741]

How about a 3d print for dummies video? I wanna get into it but I know nothing about them.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Sure. What would you like to see in the video?

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Atom

[@Burdenofproof007]

So here's my question. My stepdad owns the longest factory production line vehicle ever made. Can you make me a model say 1:12 or 1:24 scale. The Car is stone cold ugly so they never made any reminders. Being the car is almost 50 with less than 12k miles on it amodel would be killer please send me a price and what I need to do to get you the specs

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Sorry man, i'm the wrong guy to help you out here. i can barely even design a 3d cube.

[@styrenehelp]

An Ariel Atom, cool.

[@erenciftci2244]

ariel atom

[@homewrecker44]

I don't have then attention span for this sort of stuff lol. I'd rather just buy ready made pieces.

[@TheBlueberry606]

Bad to the bone. Wish I could aford that. 😆
