American WWII Light Cruiser USS Helena CL 50, LD-002r and Ender 3 Pro 3D printed in 1/450 Scale

8/30/2020 I’ve added a new project page for my latest creation using my LD-002r and Ender 3 Pro 3D printers, the USS Helena CL 50.

Nothing Says Happy 5Oth, Like An LD-002r Created, Pole Dancing Unicorn, Cupcake Topper!

A close friend of ours was having the big Five-Oh in the middle of a global pandemic…

You might ask: What could be done to turn that frown upside down?
Answer: A pole Dancing Unicorn Themed, Social Distancing, Mask Wearing, Cupcake Birthday Party of Three!

We really did try…

The good news (to my loyal ScaleModelGuy readers anyway) was that the LD-002r 3D printed, Pole Dancing Unicorn Cupcake Topper came out Great!

This is the first, normal-ish, design I’ve printed on my Creality LD-002r LCD printer and both it and Chitu Box performed perfectly – first time.

I’ve suspected most of the issues you can read about in my other LD-002r related posts and project pages, were related to the extremely fine filigree nature of the detail present in my 1/450 scale model warship designs, seems I was right. The fact that I’ve been able to coax excellent prints out of them anyway, with such an inexpensive printer, pleases me to no end.

PS: Happy Birthday Amy!
