Thanks for video. But my problem is I’m no where near the level of your 3d printing language. Much of what you discussed was beyond me. If this was a high school lesson I guess I’m elementary or even pre-school. Any suggestions on how I can advance my knowledge?
Is the slicer software where you begin the design? Do you start from scratch, meaning each part of a section you design and then piece them together? Do you draw it out on paper (graph paper) first? And how do you get it to 1/32 scale?
The slicer software is what turns a finished model into code that the printer can understand. It essentially "slices" the model into tiny layers that the printer can print. I use Fusion 360 to create models from scratch, and usually an idea starts on a sketchpad. However, most of the things that I have printed thus far were designed by other people and found on various websites.
In short: the easiest way to get started is finding finished models to download, and then slice and print them yourself. Once you get the hang of that process, and more specifically what does and doesn't print well, then you can start designing your own models. I would start with a model that has been proven by others first.
very very cool, thank for sharing
Thanks for watching!
3D printing will be huge in the coming months in regards to slot car related stuff! Shared to my channel!
Thanks brother! I haven't forgotten about your live stream invitation. Let's get something scheduled soon!
Where can I purchase the stl for the grandstand?

Ask questions, I am happy to answer them!

Thanks. Appreciate your time answering my questions. And fantastic job with your videos.
I want to build that bleacher now STOP it.
They look pretty good don't they?
