Arduino 3d Printer

[James Coplin]

I've used shape ways for my model customizing with good results. I've
always used the frosted ultra detail material. I suspect though that I am
making smaller parts so I haven't had any issues with deformation. The
material is gritty in texture from the process which is a definite
challenge when it comes to finishing and the ultrafine is also fairly
brittle. Best results are probably from using them to make a master and
then recast in resin.
