A Whole New World With The 3D Laser Printer



It's A Whole New World

Our 3D Laser Printer has arrived 


Well during this week my Hubby and I received our new Flashforge, Dreamer, 3D Laser Printer. Now all the printing fun to begin. 

Why a 3D Laser Printer you ask? Well during this time of the COVID-19 virus we have found it hard to find the things that I have needed for our HO Scale train layout/diorama and if we have found them we have had to wait weeks for them to come. Also back in 2004 when I first starting making the train layout/diorama I got a train station sign made. It was laser printed and the company doesn't exist anymore and I haven't been able to find anyone else who does them. In my research for another sign like the one we already have I found that 3D laser printing has now been made more portable for us to have in our own homes. Unlike the ones that where just made for the size of a factory. So yes I'm catching from behind the times and stepping into a whole new world of 3D laser printing. Oh the possibilities. My first print will be some Ho Scale water tanks. 

Just click play see my video below to watch the unpacking of our new baby.

I did give much consideration into using one of these two techniques, but the technique I finally decided to use, was toilet paper and PVC glue. And I am really glad I have. Because now it is finished, it is as hard as a rock but light like fibre glass. It was kind of funny at the time choosing this technique been as in this time when I had decided to start doing this, toilet paper was very hard to get and you had to que up to buy just one packet. And no I wasn't one of those people that had an abundance of it left over and needed to figure out how to use it...

You can purchase packets of these from any stockiest of Woodland Scenics products either from a hobby shop or online, for around $10-$15 and of course if you purchase them of the internet then there is postage handling.
