OK, how about cartoonist and basic gadgeteer.....
And, if you ever read Manga or seen anime, those cartoonists are very, very good at mechanical things....

I thought about it, but not that much is lost, and considering i model everything by hand (no fancy edge loops or hard edges, altering and trying to get a perfect amount of depth in a groove or over raising areas which will melt down seems an impossible task. also i print at random sizes and vaying the size would alter the detail level. Im going to soak the next skull in for my usual 35seconds just to see whats lost and do a comparison. This one has practically no loss of detail and even the layer lines on the bottom are visible.

Well for those interested theres not much difference in detail in dousing the object in acetone other than you get more spots for longer than a quick brush. But thats about it, i guess i must not have covered the bottom of this other one above all that well. The issue with over brushing is that after you have brushed off the additives in the PLA PHA then there is less smoothing material left behind because you have essentially washed it off/out. If you over acetone it could split due to drying out. But I must say since using the s5 I have not had one model split on me regardless of how much acetone I used. It must be the fact that on my UM2 I was printing so low that some layers had simply not bonded as well as I had thought.....Oh well some nicer photos, had to be done.
The one on the left has been brushed on for a whole minute as i didn't have enough acetone to dunk it! and the one on the right is just a quick wax on and job done. I finally need to buy some more...Id say 1 litres of acetone lasts me about a year. Thats good value!

Quick projects in the works.
Uncle Creepy Bookshelves. Books are printed separately to facilitate painting them and the bookshelves itself.
They all fit perfectly. Base is not finished. This was just a quick print to stand things on to check for balance and such even though they will be locked down with glue. So far so good. Walls will be about 14" tall with the floor extended to a 10" x 10" base.
Steampunk version of the "Proteus" from 'Fantastic Voyage.' I am designing the interior because I figured how to make clear windows. So, this was just a test print to see how it felt in my hands....And, BTW, the lines in the windows are when my fans stopped working efficiently...so, yeah, little things can have a big impact. But will work out fine once I make the master with the interior parts.
This is where the interior is at this time. This is just a 3D rendering of my halting progress as I take care of other things. The single seat chairs are just placeholders until a make more period appropriate set of chairs more in line with the observation couch.
This is the ship that I a started to play with making clear windows. So far so good. But, this test model got a bit too hot in the cleaning bath and is a bit warped in a few areas, but the windows and other parts that need lights showing through work just fine. Making the cockpit for this thing.
Just slammed this together in about 2.5 hours just for funsies.
