Print strength / longevity
« on: February 09, 2021, 11:57:09 PM »

I was eyeballing an N scale 3d loco / shell printed from AnyCubic Resin. It has some semi-fine details protruding from the shell also.
I have no intent to build this model anytime soon...
Can I shove this in a desk drawer inside the house and expect it to be in the same condition 2 years from now, or will it shrink / warp or become brittle meanwhile?  For that matter if I paint it right away, does that even protect it from old man time?
TIA

Do you know what Anycubic resin specifically? Some are more brittle than others. Anycubic green that came with the Photons is very brittle. So it depends it depends on the specific resin.
