No more missing parts (to a point depending on modelers ability) This propeller is 3mm tall and 4mm dia. Blade thickness is well under .7mm. They are soft and flimsy when printed but after curing are like thorns. resolution can be as fine as .01um on my photon. This p -

I had a bursa on my shoulder that required surgery. Pain would wake me at night and had no strength in the shoulder. All good now. Worth getting fixed if required -
Just had a look. Job well done.

Resin once cured is strong enough. there is high tensile resin available but I think depending on scale a normal resin would handle it. Another option might be print the truss hollow and put rod through negating the need to solder brass rod?

Thanks Pete. I'm using Fusio360 too. I have alot to learn still

This looks as good as Oli Braun's. Best part is it don't cost as much to deliver as it does to buy or I'd have bought one

3D wont replace all styrene models (unless you are a 3D guru) but it will certainly enhance them -

Always put supports on corners and edges. And for added safety print a few more parts than needed
