Some reflections on my last 3D print run.

So my last 3D print run didn't start well as I failed to realise that the 8K resin I was using was IPA washable not water washable. But it did produce more resilent models and therefore it was better for printing 20mm figures. So I bought some IPA and an extra bottle of the resin and got to work. Unfortunately although the weather stayed warm the thick cloud meant that curing outside was very slow. Figures I could manage but the base plate was still tacky for the next run which could have affected the adhesion. Luckily it didn't and I managed to print everything I thought I would need for the winter until the weather warms up again. In total, I managed to print:

• Sufficient Napoleonic Russian limber riders to upgrade their limber riders and add a few more
• Four units of replacement Napoleonic French Middle/Young Guard
• Three units of replacement Napoleonic French Young Guard skirmishers
• Four units of replacement Napoleonic Italian line infantry
• Four units of Napoleonic Spanish round hat infantry
• One unit of Napoleonic Spanish round hat infantry skirmishers
• Another 28mm unit of SYW Prussian Jaegers
• An odd collection of scientists in lab coats (they were free and I couldn't reist)
• a pair of WW2 Schwimmwagens where I had added the crews
• A pair of WW2 Laffly V15R where I added the crew (thanks to Dani for the STL)
• A unit of Napoleonic French line infantry fusiliers skirmishing
• A single possible replacement WW2 British 5.5" gun as a replacement for my aged Airfix versions

So why so many? Well when an error occurs on wnat you hope will be the last batch and then you need to print a replacement but you then fill up the batch with your next idea and then it goes on.
