I know many people here follow NightShift on youtube. His latest model is an entirely 3D printed resin kit. I suspect this is very much the way of the future.

I would love to , as have seem some busts not available commercially but as 3d files :-(Comment

Just looked at the AMX kit, man as a resin seller I'd never send out a model with supports still on
oh and there are a load of tanks available so its not the first full resin printed kit out, There is a nice Abrams with additional mine plough option that I wouldn't mind getting.
The supports come off much easier if soaked in hot water after printing and before curing as well

Honestly if I can do it anyone can.
Start with small steps get a printer and do the basics, then as you learn you'll soon know how to resize objects, cut them up and even start creating your own items.
The beauty of 3D printing is you can print a figure or bust over and over and there is no mould that will degrade, you can resize them easily so you can add figures to your 1/48th plane and then resize it to go with your 1/32.Comment

That is the hard part: learning how to use software that will let you design the thing you want to print. It tends to have a steep learning curve, and the types that don’t, in my experience often lack the more advanced features you will probably want to design model parts.
Of course, if you can download a file that somebody else made for the thing you want to print, this isn’t a problem — you would only need to learn how to send that to the printer.Comment

Yes, that’s the problem I also encountered when I had things I thought would work well as 3D-printed parts.Comment
