With the increasing maturity of 3D printing technology, more and more garage kit enthusiasts make hand models through 3D printing, which has a certain impact on the garage kit industry. The advantage of 3D printing garage kit is that it can restore the model with 100% accuracy without any fault. Compared with the traditional garage kit, it has some lamination. For enthusiasts with high requirements of garage kit detail texture, the traditional garage kit process is the best choice.

Adding support

For the sharp parts of the details, it is necessary to avoid adding support. It can be placed upward in an oblique way to avoid adding support. For the suspended parts that need to bear the weight, it is necessary to manually add some support to prevent the parts from being fixed unsecurely during the printing process and the parts from being damaged due to displacement.
