I like this manufacturer's unabashedly direct WYSIWYG approach in marketing its products. Sure, it's a bit "rough around the edges," lack some detail and is saddled with unsightly scan lines, but at least it's not as fuzzy as the gun they previously posted: TMP link |

From the eyes of a 53 year old all I have to say is, "What scan lines?"  |

To my eyes, it looks awful. |

Its not worth the money to 'fix' these 3d printed vehicles. Just buy a plastic kit and get a mostly perfect model. Rubicon makes terrific plastic kits with little or no hassles with them. It would be different if these were literally dirt cheap but they aren't. |

Couldn't these scan lines be easily fixed with sand paper or a decent file? |

Couldn't these scan lines be easily fixed with sand paper or a decent file? It depends on what material they are printed from. Some materials don't sand well. With some materials, it is said to be easier to use a 'solvent pen' to smooth the lines. |

Currently 3d print is mostly usefull for models and scales that are not covered by plastic (or even resin). The additional amount of work going into a printout to make it a nice looking model easily surpasses the extra-cost of a good kit – unless, of course, you have an extraordinary printer. |
