We’ve shown you our Gunk Tank before – it’s where 3D printed models go to have the last vestiges of support wax and other associated by-products of the printing process stripped off of them. It’s nothing too sophisticated, just a glass jar (the largest one I could find) full of degreasing fluid. We just dump the models in there for 24 hours or so and it does a great job of cleaning the models and making them ready for moulding.
Our gunk tank has been very busy lately, cycling through lots of new models in preparation for a full-on barrage of new releases in 2013. Starting tomorrow, Christmas Day, we’ll be running our own Brigade ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ – a series of previews, one a day, of new stuff you can expect to see from us (mostly in the first part of the year). Don’t worry, I won’t be sitting blogging on Christmas Day, I’ll be enjoying my turkey with the Brigadieress and the rest of the family – through the wonders of WordPress scheduling we have the posts all lined up and written in advance, ready to be automatically published each morning. So check back when you have time, and enjoy the festive season 🙂
