Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

The only reason I haven't printed one yet is because I just cannot get a coat of paint to look good on PLA. Someone suggested acrylic paint, so I bought a set, and it just doesn't look good no matter how many coats I apply.
Though this is big enough I might be able to get by with a can of spray paint.
I have done literally nothing with my printer except print parts and benchies so they're all just PLA black. Wish I could help!
I’ve managed to get pretty okay with lots of filler primer.
