My stash just grew again 2025

[NARSES2]

Does 3D printing custom kits to add to the stash for later count here?

 

I see know reason why not. Although I suppose a strict interpretation of the word would indicate that they wouldn't enter that area that is deemed "to be exploited/used at a later date". Mind you if you printed a spare copy 

Seriously, why not

Went to a local flea market on the weekend. Buddy had this marked as 55 dollars. He said 35, I offered him 20. He says come on I have to make some profit on it. I gave him 25 lol. It's all there and I love this aeroplane and this kit !

[Captain Canada]

Wasn't sure which ones were right for my Falklands aeroplanes, so I ordered them both lol X72 165 are the correct ones. First time ordering from Wings and Wheels in Toronto. Fast, cheap shipping. And they included this cool
Little sanding stick !

Sounds good to me!  Seriously, there are times where I'll print something and then worry about what to do with it later  , my F-107 and AH-61 are perfect examples of that

I've posted 3D print stash items here before, and haven't been stood up against a wall for it.   

So I can't see why not, either.

Are we talking about having a 3d print file saved & ready to use, or actually printing 3d parts and then not using them immediately? For me I tend to design bits and print them as my build progresses, so they're never really in The Stash per se

Yep, but they do make the bench    It's rather like getting a new kit and starting it as soon as you get home, it doesn't strictly make the stash, but will still get noted in this thread.

As far as I'm concerened this is the thread where people can notify all the rest of us about their latest aquisitions 

Mind you, given the increasing use of 3D design/printing perhaps we should have a "just printed" thread    and I'm only half joking.

That sounds like a very sensible suggestion, might need it's own section though, not just a thread seeing that there is an increasing number of people here who are printing their own stuff.

Its not a bad idea to be fair. Perhaps a general 3d printing sub-forum, with areas for general discussion, technical support, "wot I printed this morning", etc etc.

The only thing for me is I either print full-on Whatifs (i.e. all the F.155T stuff which gets its own build topic) or its all the small aftermarket purchases that I'm never satisfied with (Red Tops, Firestreaks etc).

I don't 3D print at all, but that sounds like a very sensible idea to me and I fully support it.

I was referring to printing parts and then not using them immediately.  Latest example I have is a TF-20B, which I printed just because I wanted one, but I'm in no rush to build it.  So into the stash it went!

Exactly my thoughts.
