Limited Run 3D Scans of 150+ Star Wars Confirmed Donors

So another small update for the community. I did a quick sand with 220 grit on the FDM part and hit it with a light coat of primer. I thin edited the original scan into 2 part roughly the same size. rearranged them so they would fit on the resin printer build plate and printed... and it was successful - kinda. I had a short power outage which was enough to stop the resin printer from completing. However it had gotten about 1/3 the way done before hand so... I have a print of 1/3 of the 2 parts... and here is a comparison pic.

Each scan, of this quality, is taking about 4 hours to complete. Rome wasn't built in a day...

Thinking about purchasing a Creality resin printer for this project instead of using my CR-10 S5.

Maybe? Idk
 
The resin printers are definitely easier to get highly detailed results, but as I showed rhe FDM print came out pretty good as well. But go for a larger print bed like the elegoo Saturn, unless ypu want to be editing the parts

If the greeblies are life-size 1:1, they should be easily printable on a small $300 resin printer no?
 
Yes, but get the largest print-bed printer you can afford, b/c some of them (like the Wankel rotary engine) are pretty large -- 208mm long, for instance.

Wow that is pretty large actually! I guess I needed to see the Wankel engine printed part up against a quarter for scale. :)
 
There are two schools of thought:

1.) Build the ANH 5' Millennium Falcon and everything after that is downhill (sort of like, "live in New York City for ten years and after that you can survive anywhere.")
2.) Do Everything Else and slowly, eventually, carefully, gradually, work your way up the ANH 5' Millennium Falcon and see if your soul survives.

What's your approach?
 
While I tihnk I'd love to have a 5foot falcon - Honestly my house is not big enough to display it... I could perhaps hang it on a wall in the basement... Hmmmm no that's an idea... Star Destroyer diorama with a 5 foot space tic hanging on it.... I may get divorced... but maybe not...

..."I may get divorced"...

Every (currently married) modeler's worst fear as soon as he discovers the power of the dark side studio scale modeling...

Meanwhile, preparing to scan the lower piece in this pic later this week:
