Thanks for posting the tube lengths.

Actually, if Boyce is only going to offer kits this way (short kits), THEY should really be posting that data to their website so modlers will know not only WHAT tubes they need to purchase, but also how MUCH of each (i.e., length) of each tube. That way one could have tubes already cut and ready to go when their parts set arrives.

If either of you get the chance, can you post a couple of closer shots of the relative smoothness/roughness of the parts? I'm kinda picky, but I have yet to see a 3D printed part surface that I'd truly be happy with. I don't mind some sanding and filling, and I've done my share of it over the decades, but I'd like to see smoother surfaces than I've seen so far. I'm hoping that these will surpass my expectations, but I'm not convinced of that yet and they (Boyce) do not seem to publish too many close photos of their product. Lots of nice, clean rendered images though, but those really don't count when it comes to truly judging final product quality.
