I too use Rusto paints almost exclusively. If you’ve seen build posts by scigs30, he swears by Krylon Acryli-Quik spray paint. It’s the old “Interior-Exterior” acrylic lacquer, with a new name. Only available online, by the case, 6 cans in a case. At some point I’ll bite the bullet and order white, black, yellow, and red. Maybe more colors if I’m feeling flush with cash for paint.

I tried printing Scott Mills Saturn V BT-80 wrap section using spiral mode (Cura) or vase mode. Although the print ultimately failed as what was printed was only the outer shell and was too thin. I realised what a perfect way of creating wraps this is. The original design replaced a section of the body tube but I am going to enlarge the scale slightly and print it so it slides on a standard bodytube. The detail is amazing. Printed on a Ender 3 Pro.

Also I've got the Saturn 1B BT-60 parts printed. But what tubes are the eight fuel tanks tubes? I assumed that they were BT-5s but those are too big.
Many thanks Scott for creating these amazing designs and releasing the files for free. |

The Saturn IB tank tubes should be 0.441" in diameter at that scale (1:159). The closet commercial tube is a BT-4 with an outside diameter of 0.448".

Here are a couple of wraps I printed for Scott Mills BT-80 Saturn V (version 2) :https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3192548
I printed the two wraps using vase (or spiral) mode scaled up to 102 percent so that they fit over the BT-80 tube. Spiral mode only prints the outside wall of the item which creates a very nicely detailed and thin wrap. The second picture is how the model was originally designed with the wraps being structural. |

Now that's a BT-80 sized Saturn I could get into!

I’m of the same mindset. I want a laser cutter. I worked in a prototyping shop about 5 years ago, and used lasers and CNC routers to cut a variety of parts from wood and acrylic. I also managed to cut a number of centering rings and fins while there. As a woodworker, I’d enjoy having a CNC router, but as a model rocket builder, the laser would edge it out on my priority list.
