DT-45 Armored Railcar - Diving Into 3D Printing

Well I’m having trouble with the big parts. Most end up failing. I did get the upper hull to ‘successfully’ print, but the quality is no where near what I was getting with the small parts.

I’ve also noticed some warping, which means some strengthening ribs are needed, so back to design work. Steep learning curve this 3D printing. I’ve decided to make sure all the most common issues are taken care of, so I have new FEP and screen protector sheets on order. Once that comes in I’ll give everything a good cleaning, replace the sheets, zero the bed and try again. So until then, it’s just messing with the design
