383 forum posts 71 photos	The picture shows two resin 3D printed interior panels for my one tenth scale model of my Austin 7. I am making four models, so I printed four pairs, four right and four left panels. They all came out of the printer with the distortion shown on the end of the left hand panel. The right hand panel is after treatment. I used a hair dryer set on low to warm the panel before clamping it to a flat board. I let the panel sit for half an hour before taking it off the flat board. So far they seem to be staying straight, but if there is still a bit of distortion after I take them off the board and I reheat the panel, the distortion returns and I have to do the treatment again. The kink in the far end is where the panel follows the shape of the body and is supposed to be there. I forgot to include a coin for scale. The panels are 1mm thick by 37mm high. The panels are shown the right way up, but they were the other way up on the build plate with dozens of supports.
