3D Modeling and 3D Printing has been one of my passions for over a decade. I started out modeling in Rhino but switched to Fusion 360 in the earliest days when it first came on the scene. As an avid scale modeler I enjoy making 3D parts for my own builds. Now I've decided to make them available for others to enjoy.
Please reach out with comments or suggestions. I enjoy interacting with other scale modelers about our great hobby.
Sincerely,

I primarily use Autodesk Fusion for creating 3D models. I also use Blender for adding additional details and special effects.
Other great software to consider are the programs Rhino and Plasticity. Plasticty is a new kid on the block and looks very promising!
Matters of Scale currenty uses Phrozen Mini 8K and Mighty 12K 3D Printers for production.
I have also used Formlabs, Elegoo and Anycubic printers.
I will always keep printers updated to produce the most detailed and clean 3D printed parts available.
I am not accepting 3D commission work at this time. But I am always interested in your ideas. If you have an idea for a part or series of upgrades that can become part of my regular line of products, drop me a line.
I plan to do a comprehensive line of US radial engines for many popular kit fitments. Also, various upgrade accessories like interior parts, armaments, etc. Mostly for WW2 and post-war/modern aircraft.
I do want to branch off to offer some ground equipment, we'll see.
I will also post latest developments occasionally on the blog.
If you have any ideas for projects drop me a line.
Matters of Scale downloadable parts are designed to be printed on resin printers. The higher the resolution the more detail, but you can get perfectly usable results from first generation resin desktop printers (2K and 4K)
The parts are not designed to be printed on fdm (filament) printers and are not optimized or tested for such printers. Fdm printers are great for other tasks but not for extremely high detailed parts that are offered here.
