Okay... This is something I will pay someone for commission work (as long as it doesn't cost the price of a Porsche!),

I am doing a Battlestar Galactica series of builds and for my 1/32 scale Viper build I want to have the classic Viper afterburner plume. I never knew if this could be done, and some people on modeling forums told me to use cotton, but that just doesn't look right. Is there anyone out there that can render a printable CG .obj or .stl file of a Viper 'plume' that can be inserted into the three engine exhausts and when lit will look like the thruster/afterburner look of the original series? (Mike I am thinking if anyone can do this you can! ;) )

Eventually I want to to a 1/18 scale Viper build on a gimble system controlled by a flight stick. The base would be a small mock up of the Viper cockpit and you can control the pitch and yaw of the model as well as kick in the afterburners, I am looking at using a CO2 and lighting system for that setup, but for the 1/32 scale I'll be happy with a file I can print in clean resin and light.

Okay more questions...
I think I have an older version of Meshmixer. I don't have a 64 bit system so can't download the current link on their site. I did find a 32 bit version, but it doesn't seem to work like in the video I watched that Model3D made. Specifically when he is manually making holes after hollowing his file he said to just double click. That does nothing when I do that. Auto generating holes puts them in places I don't want them to be (visible)

ugh this is driving me nuts! I got my printer Monday and still don't have it set up. Work got busy and I didn't have time to work on rearranging my office/shop/man cave. I finally have the new TV stand together and 4K set back up. Now I just need to straighten up the mess I made and finish where I am going to set the printer (for now). HOPEFULLY tomorrow I'll be printing! :)

Does the clear plastic viewing window in the door block UV or is it just clear plexi? I'm assuming it doesn't block UV since I've seen some people put UV film or replace it with a UV plastic. I ask because I'll be heading out shopping and will pick up some UV window film is it doesn't block UV.

3D Scanners...

One thing I would like to do with my new printer is to be able to scan items and then make 3D prints. Who knows about 3D scanners? I was looking at this one and it looks interesting but don't know if it's just throwing money away...

Question... what is the thinnest you can print?

Maybe it is easier to explain what I want to do...
Is anyone familiar with Photo Etch for model detailing? I'm wondering if the Photon can print a sheet or thin parts like that or if that is too thin and would break or not print properly.

First, yes I did look in the files section and read through the text files. It's possible I missed this, but where do you guys buy your resin? As in least expensive (I try to avoid saying 'cheapest)... From what I am seeing so far it's looking like around $80 US for a liter. I did see 5ltr containers of Monocure for $264 ($52 a liter),

Just curious what you guys use and where you get it.

Question about supports...

For the most part from what I have been reading the auto-supports don't always seem to be adequate... is that true?

When you guys and gals manually add supports how do you know where to put them and how many? I don't want to over do it, but also don't want failed prints.

Question about long term maintenance...

Anything that is mechanical or has electronics will eventually have a failure, I know that and accept it. I've seen videos/comments of some people saying SLA printers are higher maintenance than an FDM printer (but the person in the video also seems to be more of an FDM person anyway). On the flip side I have read way more issues with FDM printers simply due to they have more moving parts.

Anyway, what are the typical repair items for the Photon and are replacement parts easy to get? What is the typical life of the LCD panel and UV light source and are they easy to replace?

My printer should be here Monday and I already know what file I want to print as one of my first prints after I do the setup and sample prints.

I need to resize it though. The object in the stl file I downloaded is a Buck Rogers Starfighter and based in the size it looks like it is 1/32 scale and I want to print it in 1/72 scale so it will match the rest of my 1/72 scale sci-fi fighters.

What software should I use to for that? Also what is easy to use to edit and modify stl object? I'd like to remove the cockpit canopy area from the original stl so I can either print it in clear or print it with the window area removed so I can put clear windows in. I also want to hollow out the area under the canopy after it is removed so I can print a cockpit and control panel. Oh, at 1/72 scale it should fit the build area, but if not how do I remove sections? I don't want the program to just cut it up in random pieces, I'd like to remove the engines, the rear stablizers and if needed the front of the laser cannons at a nice clean separation point.
