At the risk of sounding repetitive: your dedication but also talent for innovation are impressive.
Im actually having a very hard changing anything else. That has to mean im at the finish line. So now im doing a few back shell designs just to see.
We got the non-professional stupid version (I just had to see it)
and some abstract something
Testing designs.. of course I have to take into account printing which limits things.

Now**** THIS is you, Mike.
put dragonball 4 stars logo, easy design easy print.
Reminds me of Van Gogh’s work ![]()
I hadn’t even really thought about that. Needs shellac but im testing some different paints
It’s pretty sick how it how got all the smaller details as well. Very cool.
{cathartic} After printing about 340+ models, I know how this god damn thing works and the problems. I do wish I had a better printer because i have limitations in terms of the resin i can print and how fine and smooth it ends up. The tougher the resin, the harder it is to get smooth and nicelike. This stuff im using is Resione K+ K+ Tough ABS-LIKE 3D RESIN – RESIONE . I tried to use clear stuff because it looks cool but the detail levels drop to unacceptable levels since the way the printer works is a LCD screen that masks UV light. Clear resin allows UV light to scatter and cure parts you dont want cured and its BAD. I suspect there are better printers that deal with this but mine was only 1200 so meh. Gotta work with what I can.
Ill say this much, this resin is so freakin tough its actually hilarious, which makes sanding a bitch. Im using a NAIL FILE currently and then some buffing stuff but jesus christ.

Also that design is fucking cool. I cannot see it from a foot away. ;_; Sometimes the best intentions..
Once you are 99% sure about the design but feel your own printer is lacking, consider using a 3d printing service they likely have better quality printer than you have.
Literally all of this goes way over my head but I can see the passion and the knowledge from here. I trust you know what you’re doing here for sure. I can only imagine the number of times you went to that printer and waited for the result. The countless minutes and hours taken to perfect the stuff. Respect.
We made it to sanding, we’re almost home. ![]()
