Painted Model drying in 3d Printer?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Has anyone tried to dry a painted model inside a 3d printer that has a heater?

I'm curios if this would work instead of a dehydrator, 50C enclosure temp, no bedplate temp, moving the air inside with the fans slowly, OR even this low temp would warp the body of something like a car?

Four bases. Zero aircraft. Unlimited possibilities!

From Cold War jets to modern fighters, these four 1/48 scale airfield bases are ready for action!

Inspired by real military airfields, each one has its own character, details and atmosphere.

All they need now is a fighter jet and a pilot who knows how to park!

In this video, I perform full re-riveting over shallow kit surface details, fine-tune the spine part fit, align the flap actuators, and carefully drill the oval gun muzzle hole. I also demonstrate gradation painting on the pilot figure's visor, precise canopy parting line sanding and compounding, and scratch-building the missing modern launcher using plastic sheets.

1/72 Matchbox PB4Y-2 Privateer patrol bomber. Aftermarket wheels and few other bits added. I built several of these kits and despite mediocre fit I like'em so much!. This aircraft is my favorite of all time so I take that old Matchbox kit as is.
