Okay, I am starting my first build of the Imperial Engine. I have several observations to start out with. First, the prints are amazing! I am using a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE (actually 2 of them). The prints look fantastic. My only criticism thus far is that the connections are too tight. I think they align nicely together, but they are impossible to close without a little sanding or over-exertion. I'd recommend a little more tolerance in the joining pieces in the future. That being said. This guy must be a math genius. Everything aligns perfectly.... Its' just tighter then prom night in there guys.
I am 2/3rds through the print. I will post some pictures after everything is completed and offer a few tips on the assembly. For example, I recommend not putting both sides of the wheels together first on the axles. Feed them through the supports then put on the end caps. I was too worried the parts would snap with the axles having both wheels on then pushing it into the connector.
Finally, my greatest regret is not buying the top tier on kickstarter. I am a personal hobbiest with aspirations of selling models when I retire. This range is detailed, unique, and high quality. Let's just say if the artist does a second kickstarter and it comes with a retroactive commercial license... I am not hesitating!!! He has a fresh product for the miniature market and it is top notch!

Cassidy,
You can use any of my photos you want for your business. The chain saws work fine. I would have edged the mount a little to raise the blade tip up though to be perfect. I snapped one off from the base. I guess the pins were not in 100%. It is an easy fix to repair. I’ll send more pics to update as I go along. Maybe try to get some that are a little more professional looking. Thanks for tracking my progress!
