Hi Andy

Here I found information about their equipment:

https://3delivered.com/services#printing

They operate three SLA machines, OBjet RP among them, top notch gear.

Hi
I wish I know. But I´m definitely sure it´s an SLA /stereolithography equipment using laser or DLP curing a photopolymer resin.
At present they are two (relatively.) low cost SLA printers on the market, costing between 3k / 4K u$, the Form1, and the B9 Creator.
The Form 1 is laser based, the B9 uses a DLP which projects the complete section for every new layer.

So far, Click2detail.com made a good work.
Here is the RDF kit available for sale:

Now I´m working on an antenna set for in 1/350 for the new Oscar class SSGN by Hobby Boss.
Below is the Radian combined radar + ESM mast:

Hi everybody

Here is my first try of printing very tiny parts.
Basically they are different designs of RDF antennas.
Most of them are intended for cold war Soviet subs, in 4 and 6 arm versions, and a postwar racetrack shaped set made in the U.S. (don´t know the type specifics.)
Since I have a 12hr daily job and a family, I gave up trying making them in wire.
I´ve modeled them in slightly different sizes in order to try how tiny can be printed in SLA.
The final prints are merit of click2detail , the first batch in 0.25mm diameter came out with several incomplete prints, but Chris gently offered me those few which did come out well free of charge, and suggested to scale up the brace diameter to 0.3 which worked out fantastically.
Here the results:
