The Fun Has Started Our First Water Tank

The Fun Has Started Our First Water Tank   After  my Hubby and our Daughter playing around most of Saturday afternoon setting up the printer and the computer and getting the right programs, we were ready by 6 o'clock on Saturday night to start a test run by printing out our much needed water tanks. Because everything was on hold in the farm lands waiting for the arrival of their water tanks. After all the crops and veggies and animals needed their water not to mention the loo and showers, lol, To our surprise they only took 39 minutes each. We ended up printing out 4 of them, but I'm thinking of making another one or two. One for our famous Aussie wood shed. Because you always need somewhere to keep your firewood dry and the other one for a chicken coop. I will just have to see how I'm going for space with the chicken coop. They may just left to forage around the yard, sorry, lol. I do have one tip for you. After our first print the models all started sticking to the plate....

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 pos...
