Comment on STL vs Modifier quality

It looks like you’re printing it with the right side of the model in the picture angled down from the left, so you’re getting more layers to the left, which is giving you some unfortunate border and infill lines. Is it possible to print this all flat so it’s one smooth layer? If it’s the top layer, you might play with ironing as well. It’s hard to tell without seeing the whole model in context though.

It’s the side of a plane so there’s no way to make that side flat. I already have the model split down the middle, so it prints without supports. I want it to be in a Kit Card format for ease of printing and assembly.

I like your style, internet stranger. Way to keep the childhood dreams alive. 🤘🏼🥳

My natural inclination would be to make the body in a single color filament and then use a stencil to paint on the logos. It would print a lot easier and look more natural and authentic. The logos were painted on the planes historically. And if you use stencils to paint them on, the logos could be customized for individual prints.
