I was very happy with the results of my prototypes made from using the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) DuraForm polyamide (PA) for it's great detail and for testing my living hinge. I could sand it really smooth and paint it as well. The SLA prototypes didn't look near as good to me. The prices have come down quite a bit now that there is allot more competition out there. A guy could take his CAD models of PSUBS and scale them down to make models out of them using the SLS parts to make molds off of. I was thinking it would be fun to make a couple of model kits of the Simon Lake submarines, like the Argonauts to help support a Simon Lake Museum.
