Well my printing was awesome, but I will admit my scaling had a bit to be desired...

Ok now that I know the problem was in my printing of the parts not the laser cut forms, I started over.

Made a classic mistake, printed only part of the hull and then went back and printed more. the print colors don't match.
Same printer, same paper, I'm pretty sure in the second batch I selected quality over speed and in the first batch speed over quality. I think I like the quality of the speed over the quality of the quality.... I need to strip the back two sections and reprint... |
