thx, for the compliment,

to iterate it a bit more, a fresnel lens is a lens that consists of a deformed lense so it ocupies less space/glass

here is a example of a normal and a fresnel lens:

Hi! Some update: evaporation mechanism. After 70 min.

[zipel]

Great detailing, if you have the time maybe sharpen the edges a bit.

[Tiberiy]

may be) but I need to modeling so many parts: body, drill, chassis..

[TNTxGRAVE]

I agree with Zipel. The detailing is great and the machine looks very functional. Just that the edges look a bit dough-ey.

[Tiberiy]

Hi! some update: I started doing body and drill.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

looking good!

finally came time to finish the project. Many do not have time to do, but overall pleased with the result.
