First Creation: Micro APC. Approximately 1:87 (HO) scale. Has pilot seat, sliding side doors, opening rear door, removable top, and moving missle turrent. The wheels are mounted with a 1mm brass rod around 30mm long. The door is also swings on a 1mm brass rod. Modeled with DesignSpark Mechanical. Printed on Zortrax M200 at 140 micron resolution in cool grey Z-ABS.
Second Creation: 6x6 military truck. Approximately 1:80 scale. Has swinging axle up front, rear tandem axles, removable cab roof, and separate spare wheel. The interior is partially detailed and the engine compartment is partly detailed. All axles/pivot points are on 1mm brass rods. The axles are 30mm long. Modeled with DesignSpark Mechanical. Printed on Zortrax M200 at 140 micron resolution in cool grey Z-ABS (As Kyle and ahntila have noticed, this is actually warm grey. I made a mistake, ad I had printed multiple of this print, and was originally using cool grey.)
Finally!!! Another Designspark user.. lol Looks Great!!!!
Yes, DSM is surprisingly underused in my opinion. It was almost a direct translation with minimal learning from Sketchup, with more accuracy. The only thing I do not like is I can't figure out how to mirror objects like in Sketchup. I have to make double of everything on each side of the truck model and make sure they are the same dimensionally.
I might move to Autocad Inventor as I got a free 3 year license with my student email address.

Thanks!
You know you can draw 1 part and just copy it right? Then drag it from one side to the other.

Yes, this is currently how I am doing it. It might be that I got used to creating half a model in sketchup, mirroring it, then joining the 2 parts together. With DSM, I am able to mirror only surfaces, not 3d model half. I have used sketchup for 3 years before DSM came out, and this missing feature adds time to modeling because my design process flow is changed.
Has anyone notice both models are printed in "coolgray" Z-ABS and they are from a totally diffrent color?
I wanted some gray like the one of the first picture but I received one like the 2nd...
I make that point on a thread because at intl store there are 2 coolgray ABS + the warm sand.
Anyone has this issue? Can staff say if there is really a difference between colors or it is just random? Because that is no minor difference is a totally different color. <_<

Cool grey on right.. Warm grey/sand on left.. Not sure where you are seeing two cool grey in international store...??
I think there are some kink's they're still working out here. I few weeks ago, I ordered warm grey and got cool grey. They sorted it out for me though (A+ Customer Service, as usual).
