A cautionary tale for anyone who 3D prints their own garden labels. 🌞

This sunflower label — printed in PLA — has warped completely out of shape after a few sunny days. And honestly, fair enough: PLA has a relatively low glass transition temperature and starts to deform in direct sunlight, especially on a warm day. It's one of the most common beginner mistakes in 3D printed garden accessories.

The lesson? For anything that lives outside, use PETG or ASA instead. They handle UV and heat far better. PLA is great for indoors — outdoors, the sun always wins.

Een waarschuwing voor iedereen die zijn eigen tuinlabels 3D print. 🌞

Dit zonnebloem label — geprint in PLA — is volledig vervormd na een paar zonnige dagen. En eerlijk gezegd: niet zo gek. PLA heeft een relatief lage glasovergangstemperatuur en begint te vervormen in direct zonlicht, zeker op een warme dag. Het is een van de meest gemaakte beginnerfouten bij 3D-geprinte tuinaccessoires.

De les? Gebruik voor alles wat buiten staat PETG of ASA. Die zijn veel beter bestand tegen UV en hitte. PLA is prima voor binnen — buiten wint de zon altijd.

Antonov An-124 Ruslan 1:500 - FDM

The Antonov An-124 Ruslan is a massive strategic airlift jet designed for moving super-heavy and oversized cargo, featuring a unique, multi-leg kneeling landing gear system and a hydraulically operated upward-hinging nose section. This configuration allows for true roll-on/roll-off capability through both the forward visor-style nose door and the rear fuselage ramp, making it incredibly versatile for self-sufficient loading and unloading operations in remote or unprepared locations. An-124-100 kneeling with a front and back ramp, there is also cargo space until backwards. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.

Der klassische Fall von: Erst muss man Werkzeuge bauen, um das eigentliche Projekt bauen zu können.

Gerade entstehen Positionierhilfen für die CNC, damit Platten später auf beiden Seiten mit hoher Genauigkeit gefräst werden können.
Sieht unspektakulär aus, ist aber einer der wichtigsten Schritte für saubere Ergebnisse.

Danach geht's endlich an das eigentliche Projekt, dem ihr auf @CamperHomes folgen könnt.

Dassault Falcon 7X 1:500 - FDM

The Dassault Falcon 7X is a distinguished trijet known for its sophisticated fly-by-wire flight controls, making it one of the first business jets to employ this technology. This large-cabin aircraft utilizes three rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A turbofans to achieve impressive range and efficient performance. This model is printed using an FDM printer, I hope you like it, thank you. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.

B737-800W 1:500 - SLA 2

The Boeing 737-800W is characterized by its blended winglets, optimized for reduced drag and improved fuel efficiency across medium-haul operations. Its elongated fuselage, advanced aerodynamic surfaces, and refined control geometry contribute to stable handling and consistent performance. B737-800W 1/500 - SLA, 2025-06-25, the front landing gear of this model has been thickened, but I still uploaded the fuselage with the previous landing gear. And the fuselage that is not in the center does not need to be fixed, but I uploaded the two wings that have been exported without moving their positions. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.
