First full test print. 6 hours, about $2 worth of resin. Model is scaled exactly, however resin doesn't always print exactly to scale, so there'll have to be some slight tweaking between this and a final, usable piece. Wouldn't be an issue if I could print an entire tender shell in 1 piece, but I've got to mate the extension between 2 die-cast pieces, so... Hopefully it'll just take one set of adjustments to nail it. Curing this, then measuring and comparing to the die-cast shell. Reprint tomorrow (if I have enough resin left). If not, Saturday. The cross-pieces on the bottom will be cut out, I just added them to help the sidewalls print straight. Water hatch on the rear piece will be removed and replaced with a transverse mounted one that I'll print.
