Cool!!!  I’m curious to see how long it takes to print.

Same here, I am however waiting to purchase a resin 3D printer, they print more sharply than the regular pla style printers that leave more visible print lines.  I really am waiting for them to come down in price as well as have larger print capacities as they are right now quite small.

I also have been in the market for a 3D scanner so I can scan items and put them into a program to slice them for printing.  Will make duplicating components a lot easier if I can scan the original and I am also real curious if I could use the scanner to scan a whole car so I can print a model since I am trying to build 1/24 or 1/25 scale models of my vehicles and not all of them are offered.  I also would love to get one now so I can 3D scan my engine on the engine stand so when I build my scale model truck I will already have a .stl file for my engine to 3D print and put under the hood of my truck.

This piece is the last thing I need for my dash restore project I am going to do in the future.  So, if anyone has something like this—highly interested here!
