Phrozen 3D Printer for Model Airplane Parts

In this video, I take my new Phrozen Sonic Mini 3D printer for test spin before starting to print the parts for the upcoming 1/48 Fairey Gannet AEW.3 release. I used the printer to print a 1/32 P&W R-2800 engine crankcase.

[@drnda2007]

finally a video that is not related to printing minis ... does not explain all but resin printing is learning

[@FlyingSModels]

For sure, lots of learning involved.

[@23foger]

I really wish companies like Resin 2 Detail would just sell the STL files, so people that arnt very good at CAD work can print there own stuff.

[@FlyingSModels]

That's a real challenge, from what I would imagine. They would need to find a way to allow a single print based on a single purchase. If they sold their intellectual property, it could just be resold to others and they'd lose control of their designs.

[@stacyobrien1729]

Wow this just opened up a whole new world for you(and us), will be following closely with everything you come out with. Thankyou!!!

[@FlyingSModels]

For sure...thanks!

[@zombiecreations1447]

Very cool. Another tool for the tool box.

[@FlyingSModels]

Indeed. And for under $250, can't beat it!

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Interesting stuff Chad, thanks for sharing.

[@FlyingSModels]

You bet. Hope it was helpful.

[@davidparker2259]

And, voila! there it is. I should have watched this video before I asked about car bodies. But I am backwards. That engine you printed is phenomenal. You made it look easy, but all of that computer jargon went right over my head. I suppose I could get one of those and have my kids run it. Obviously some of your Fairey Gannett kit will be cast, with other parts printed. Very cool.

[@FlyingSModels]

Yep. Printer works great and is super easy but the real magic is in the design of the parts. That's where I'm a rookie (really less than a rookie).

[@bgdavenport]

Most excellent video!

[@FlyingSModels]

Thanks, Chuck. Ready to roll now.

[@totalhobby1]

Hi Chad , Asrar here , wow how did miss this video ?. Awesome machine. Tempted to get one too. So many new technology . Best of luck on this Gannet project.

[@FlyingSModels]

Hey Asrar, good to hear from you. The Phrozen is a great little machine. Been working slowly through all of the steps to upgrade the little Gannet.

[@mirrorblue100]

Phrozen is cool.

[@FlyingSModels]

For sure!!

very nice build

[@FlyingSModels]

Appreciate that!

Feb. 27, 2022----Got back into modeling, but this time it's 1/35 scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas. Been looking at both types of printers and resin is the way I'll be going. Thing is, there's a lot of stuff NOT available as kits such as sinks, dining chairs/tables, etc. Which would mean a lot of scratching building and then making silicone molds of them so I could make a bunch of resin copies. But with a printer, I can print as many of something I want, at one time. One YT guy showed how it took 8 hours to print 1 D&D figure, but then he made something like 24 at one time, with it still taking the same amount of time. So I'll be doing the same with portable generators, etc. I'm 68 and trying to learn cad and it's kicking my ass. The reason I want to learn is for several reasons. There are some things I haven't found files for, like porta potties, urinals, etc. Adding to this is me wanting to use a lot of modern military vehicles, specifically, APC's...armored personnel carriers as basically, ALL these kits have NO interiors?! When I learn cad, I'll be adding detail not seen before, even if it's for a specific kit. And maybe I can even cad people/zombies? Once that happens, hope to post my files online for free so others can enjoy/print them. Thanks for the video, because I've got a lot of OLD aircraft kits that I started buying, but never built back in '74.

[@FlyingSModels]

Yep, 3D printing is really changing things in the model world. And welcome back to that modeling world. 3D printing will be great for what you are after. Take a look at MOI 3D. I have found it to be really easy to learn to produce the kind of parts you are after. And they have a free 90 day trial if you want to check it out. Ping me over on my facebook channel/message if you need any help with it.

[@WasatchModeler]

That is some nice detail. How easy is it to find files ready to print?

[@FlyingSModels]

That's the hard part. The designs have to be created. You can find odd ball stuff to print but for aircraft modeling, most things have to be designed by the modeler.

[@f4cphantom2]

Would love a 1/32 TF-102 Delta Dagger.

[@FlyingSModels]

That would be sweet. Too bad my 3D design skills suck...haha.

[@rogermorgan6258]

Do Resin2detail sell you the STL files ?

[@FlyingSModels]

Hey Roger. At this time R2D is not selling the .stl files. But please reach out to Brian directly at resin2detail.com or you can ping him over on his facebook page or newly formed youtube channel. Hope this helps!

[@carloscanet8043]

Where did you get that stl file from?

[@FlyingSModels]

Hey Carlos, the .stl file came from Brian over at Resin 2 Detail. I, unfortunately, have not mastered those skills.

[@RealDaveWinter]

I'd rather just buy the stl files for the parts I need.

[@FlyingSModels]

That certainly is easier if you can find the parts you want/need.

[@deanmiles3273]

would like to find somebody who can print me a supermarine spitfire armament in 1/32 scale to fit into the wing of my Tamiya Mk9 Kit.

[@FlyingSModels]

Well I can print some if you have the .stl files already worked up. You can ping me through facebook: facebook/flyingSmodels or through the website: flyingSmodels.com if you want/need to chat more. Cheers!

[@deanmiles3273]

@@FlyingSModels No sorry I dont have the .stl files for this but I do have a 1/48 scale kit.... Not sure if it could be scanned in any way to make it into a 1/32 scale kit !

[@qwerty85620]

not good detail

[@FlyingSModels]

Appreciate your feedback. Not sure which detail you were referring to, though.
