The model was printed by a friend, and here is the view of the painting. In my opinion, for 1:700 scale and close, resin 3D printing is pretty close to perfection although the brittleness of the resin is a problem with fine details and rigging, but there are alternatives. youtu.be/iajbtNAL-Kg

A friend of mine has started blending different resins with different properties to get around the brittleness problem. |

I've printed a few with PLA on my Ender 3 including sails as well. |

If a way can be found to make more strong and stylized sails and poles in 3D than the ones I have seen so far, it will be a wonder to use them, of course. Thank you all! |

Try Siraya Fast. Also take a look at Diratia Productions on My mini Factory. Ived tryed a few others, and havent been happy with the stls, poor sails, low resolution sculpts. There are lots of ship bodies, but every sail is the exact same? and way at least Diratia made a few ships that can actually print the sails in resin with no trouble. all the other Age of Sail stl designer/artist seem to be suck in the FDM mindset which to me, just doesnt cut it for anything miniature related. maybe ok for scenery, but it sucks for miniatures, age of sail or any miniature period. You see, the thing is, Sail print perfectly fine on a Resin printer and can be quite quite survivable, but all of the stl designers now nothing about resins, resin printers, and think we all want to make our own sails or use a low quality generic sail designed for fdm. Anyway, the guy who painted that in the video did a excelent job. |
