really enjoy your videos please keep them coming. How does the weight compare of 3D printing model to the conventional balsa wood built model? To me looks a lot heavier
Hi Dave yes it is a bit heavier but not too bad. You can get LW-PLA which is much lighter and comparable to foam and balsa. There are loads of 3D-printed models now and they are getting better all the time. This model is very fast so the weight doesn't seem to be a problem. Have a look at Troy's video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k36tuI0YbvI.html comparing foam, PLA and LW-PLA Keith
I too have started 3D printing models, and yeah... a hard crash is pretty spectacular! Very scale, very realistic! But then I just write off the 10 bucks worth of LW PLA and print another brand new one.
