Great to see more updates on this! One of my favorite projects because the idea of digitally archiving pieces that can be used for CG or 3D prints or deriving accurate dimensions for other elements is such a compelling idea to me. In fact, over the last month or so, I finally got into learning SketchUp and have been doing this type of thing, on a much more novice level, with some of my own projects. Right now, I'm trying to build a model of a monitor I have, that I disassembled, to learn different modelling techniques that are more complicated than the models I've been working on so far. But I wanted to point out that your project really encouraged me to start doing stuff like this on my own.
I'm curious if you saw the convention video where they showed their modeled parts database and if you thought your work was more or less detailed than theirs?
Also, do you have an estimate for both the number of found parts that are on the 5' Falcon and how much area they take up if they were arranged on a table fairly close to one another? I'm trying to get a big picture idea of how much material is from kits, verses scratch built elements.
Missing the pic in the last one, M.

i don't know if it's the angle your displaying this part but the sides are not parallel, see attached shot showing the two scales bonnets butted up to each other in a triangle shape

Heres the bonnet as a part on the sprue

Is that the same part in two different scales on the MF?Try this. I think the lens was playing a trick. And I put a rearward facing part in the shot - which is probably how you're used to seeing it...

Got any bobs to go with those?
Good to know the Form 2 is up to the task. I just got one and am wrapping my head around the specific peculiarities that can make or break a print. Any quick tips since you've had such good results? Thanks again for making your fantastic parts available.Speaking of actually printing greebles, not just making them in CAD... Got a new Form2 printer at work. I sure with my Form1 had lived up to this standard, but it's nice to see this quality of part in a desktop unit...
