| When you refer to the .50cal machinegun comparison article, you can see that we need new
options for highly detailed and in-scale machineguns for
our Shermans. The advent of 3D-printed has opened up the
door to a totally new manufacturing method that in
theory, can result in a product far superior to what can
be achieved through classic resin casting or molding in
plastic. Of course, those older forms of production all
depended on the quality of the master parts being
reproduced, but even the finest examples can't really
hope to reach the fineness of details possible in
3D-printing. I mean, look at the photo on the left below;
these guns actually have the trigger paddle! These are
fantastic guns. The resin used is relatively soft, so
care must be taken when removing them from the printing
frame and cleaning up the small nubs left behind. There
are still the fine artifacts of the printing process to
contend with, but they can mostly be ignored on parts
with the right angles that these have.
