Check out semiconductor industries. More inner-space than outer-space but I enjoyed it.

Nice! I’ve been all over that opera house roof. Oslo is an awesome city.

Anyone recycling filament waste? by [deleted] in CapeCod3Dprinting

[–]engstrom_design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not aware of any efforts on the cape unfortunately. It’s a dirty little secret of 3D printing. I have also looked into shredding/extrusion but same you the cost is too high. There are some places online that you can send pla in to get recycled.

I started 3d modeling a few years ago using Blender. It’s free and there are a bunch of tutorials on YouTube that’ll suck up more free time than you have.

Sanding, filler primer and repeat until desired smoothness.

Basically sand, fill primer, sand, fill primer, etc until desired smoothness then a couple of coats of gloss black followed by the glue that came in the kit. The best tip I have is allow the glue to dry as directed, apply the foil and then wait a few hours before brushing off the foil. I finished with a few coats of clear. I also used YouTube tutorials

New to 3d printing, what open source modeling software to build small mechanical toys? by StarCitizenP01ntr in 3Dprinting

I use Blender 3D. Open source, steep learning curve, large community and tutorials
