So today I mucked about with the 3D printer (yeah, yeah, I hear ya, TOR....shaddup!) and made the first nose pieces. As this was an experiment, I wasn't too fussed about the quality, because there is a bit of a learning curve to getting this right, and we (me and my son) still need to upgrade some parts of the printer.
Anyhow, there is a bit of splitting between the layers, and they're warped (which is a by-product of using tape on the print bed...one of the upgrades we're doing..), but they've shown me areas where I need to improve the shape. So kind of a success..
Unfortunately, they're not good enough for me to glue together, sand and paint - the warping leaves a massive gap!
