That particular vendor just prints other people's designs and sells them. I do believe Inkor is aware of him and gets some kickback for each one he prints, but as far as other people getting any monetary compensation for him using their designs is unknown. Some of the prints looks quite rough as in the print lines are very coarse. Best advice would be to read through his feedback before purchase.

He looked a bit suspicious to me, and his listings vary from "looks good" to "that's about as rough as my first printer." Thanks for the assist. I think I'd err on the side of caution.tankme wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 3:50 am That particular vendor just prints other people's designs and sells them.

He's on Facebook, I've had a afew interactions with him. He printed some individual parts for my nashorn. I found them good to deal with, the price was very reasonable and the print quality was excellent. More like the industrial sla prints that okmo do.

Good to know. Any idea if these are adaptable for combat?tomhugill wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 6:55 am He's on Facebook, I've had a afew interactions with him.

Keep in mind that some of the tanks he is printing for folks are RC ready if they of Inkor's design. If they are someone else's design they would take some reworking to make them RC *if* they are RC'able at all. A lot of designers mold suspension arms in place rather than make them workable.

He's been fairly good about marking what is meant for RC and what isn't meant for RC. There are a couple of grey areas on casual scan, but they both appear to be static, to my eye.tankme wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 3:15 am Keep in mind that some of the tanks he is printing for folks are RC ready if they of Inkor's design.

As a follow up for those interested, I’ve ordered a Churchill from the aforementioned vendor. Friendly, very affable fellow. Will update when I have more information.

I have seen this seller before and been wary, although his record seems good and he even mentions that he pays the designers of the 3D prints. It will be interesting to see your Churchill. I agree with SOG: we are panting for pictures.
