Youre kind of like a pioneer in these types of projects.Thanks everyone!
Another short session, but I did get the modified gun house hatches printed and installed. They are now fully opened, pinned with newly acquired 0.015" phos-bronze rod. They should survive a bit longer now that they're not sticking out so far to constantly getting whacked while I'm doing something else. I also reprinted more foot rungs to replace the last broken ones. I printed nut plates to replace the crude ones I had previously installed. I have to add just two more rungs, barring breaking any more. So it's now ready for paint.

I'm starting work on writing a book entitled 3D Design and Printing for Model Makers. After four years and thousands of parts produced with lots of success and solving lots of problems, I have a lot to write about.
While there are copious ammounts of articles, books and videos on 3D printing, I'm finding a gap in instructional material for model makers. When you look at what's currently available, much of it covers printing monsters and characters in the fantasy realm. Printing characters can teach about machine setup and supports placement, but lacks consideration for designing parts that must conform to rigid design and printing regarding scale and assembly of parts that form precise assemblies.
I intend to close that gap. My latest Apple version of Pages includes book writing templates. Apple also provides free uploading of books to Apple eBooks. They take a cut of the sale proceeds. I can live with that. They don't provide free marketing. For that, I'm going to need some help.
I also will need feedback for folks regarding the soundness of this endeavor.
