I 3D printed a 1/35 Scale Model - Uniformation GK Two - 1/35 WW2 Diorama

This project is the result of my being contacted by Uniformation, a 3D printer manufacturer, asking if I'd like to try their GK Two 8K resolution resin printer. I've had resin 3D printers for a while and love how you can use them to add accessories and detail to both models and dioramas but they have always been a bit temperamental in setting them up to print successfully. I can report though that the GK Two is the easiest resin printer to use that I have owned so far. It has performed flawlessly and has been a pleasure to use straight out of the box and the only issues I have had were setting up print supports correctly for the model.

The printer was shortly dispatched and the day it arrived I was keen to start exploring what it could offer me as a scale modeller. After an hour of familiarising myself with the various functions, I was printing my first successful prints. The GK Two is a great addition to my modelling tool set and I can personally recommend it as a great 3D printing option especially if like me, you like things to work straight from the box 👍

Please note that whilst Uniformation have sent me the printer for free, I am under no obligation to say anything positive about it and the views above are my own opinions based on my experience in using the machine. If you are interested in the GK Two then there are links below and also an $80 discount code.

Also a quick mention for Faustusmodels who's 3D design for a 'what if' German Flakpanzer 38D Kugelblitz is excellent and produces a very detailed model.

Whilst I have had fun with this project and its different approach to building a scale model, I think in all honesty 3D printed models are not quite as much fun as traditional plastic kits and are not as adaptable due to the resin being more brittle than plastic. That said it is something I will try again in the future.
