    Woo! I love those fences! With a piece of this fabric you can do hundreds of tiny beautiful fences! Love your edition video and the background music. Thanks to share. Awesome job as always. Oh... another time appears the misterious oranged photographer... Looks very suspicious in the other side of the fences... mmmhh... 🤔

    I've seen techniques where makers with 3d print a layer or so of the design (maybe half the total thickness), in your case the fence posts, and lay the clothe over it, securing it to the bed. And then finish the print so the fabric is embedded in the print. Might be worth a try next time. Either way your fences look great

    This is amazing! I ran into the same issue when I started working with N Scale. Woodland scenics chain link fences are nice, but way to expensive to use on large products. I attempted this a while back with resin printing but the links were too small and wouldn't come out right or straight up break. So I ended up abandoning it. Thank you for this! I will definitely be trying this out!

    Very nice! Also timely for me: funnily enough, I spent this afternoon laying out and soldering 0.5 mm brass rod to make the framework for a couple of hundred feet of 8' chain link fence, along with a few gates. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out, but I think your method will work better than what I had in mind for attaching the tulle. Thanks for putting this out at just the right moment!

    • @NScaleDystopia
      @NScaleDystopia  10 місяців тому

      I tried a number of different spray adhesives and they didn't go on cleanly - they were too thick and they added little threads of adhesive that showed up on the mesh

    if you're utilizing 3d printing anyway, you may find it more efficient to print the first layer, pause it, and then stretch your fabric over the bed and continue the print.
