<p>I'm in Canada so would appreciate if you could send me the .stl file for these fairings as I'm building a Cruzer. Will email you at deanmarcott@gmail.com Thanks in advance for this great work. Cheers, James</p>

<p>It is difficult to sand or paint. Our professional painter tried a number of primers to no avail. However I am also an RC builder and have painted the parts I printed for those planes. It can be sanded but need to do it slowly or wet sand because with machine sanding there is enough heat to slightly soften the surface and the sand paper will stick. I do have white and silver PLA Pro available to print in those colors also.</p>

<p>Very cool, Dean. I’m very likely a future customer. I’ll give your printer a couple months to cool down though before I order.</p>
<p>Question: Are the tooling lines sandable or smoothable? And does PLA paint well?</p>

<p>Thanks, I really didn't think it was going to be this big. I just have a hobby printer (slow but accurate). I already have five orders and have just finished printing the second. I will need to take a good look at upscaling my operation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have looked at the cabin end but with the landing gear and all it is not only complicated but would be very difficult to print. Would require a totally different kind of 3D printer.</p>

<p>Dean those fairings look fabulous...every builder should be ordering (this is a no brainer) and Zenith should sign a contract with you to reproduce. Very well done...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now....create one for the cabin connection!!</p>

<p>I'd be interested in seeing a pic of them on the plane. Do you have one available to upload?</p>
