it appears that the 3D technology has not yet advanced beyond making cute little plastic octopuses!

what kind of plastic does the scanner use? any way to get rid of the record type ribs on the models? 3D printing stuff is pretty sweet. what are your dimensional constraints to scan or print?

Me too they are 80% something or other... Haha

There is a company here in town that makes them and for $40 it's all yours, no jig required. Pretty good stuff I have two of them...

^^^ I want one that's 100% + % for aluminum shrinkage, to use as a reusable pattern for casting them in aluminum...

I thought most guys, or maybe just the most geeky, used cadd files to print parts....

It would be awesome to print off the one year only inside rear vents for a 71 Super Beetle that you can't buy anywhere.

Thread bump.

So no one else has interest in a 3D printer?

I noticed the op mentioned scanning parts. While that is very cool and I have yet to to get a scanner set up, I have a printer I share with my dad.
He is a design engineer and I've been learning how to use the program solid works. It's amazing what we've printed up for fun and what we've made to fix household things.

The wheel on my dishwasher upper rack broke last night. Can't order just the ten cent piece I need, have to order the whole twenty dollar kit.

Was just thinking it would be nice to have a 3d printer for just this kind of crap around the house.

Tbird,

I understand the frustration. The cheap chrome plated bezel on the hose sprayer of my sink broke. Thanks to our printer, we just printed a grey bezel to replace it. We've also made new eyeball jets for the pool. Leslie's pools wants around 25-35 bucks a pop. Poof, 10 hours later, i've got my own custom designed bright orange eyeballs in the pool. I think they are rather fetching if you ask me. Very Happy

Here's the printer company that we bought from. I have the Rostock Vmax 2.
http://seemecnc.com/products/rostock-max-complete-kit

The deal is, you can get it for a grand, (really cheap consider the footprint size that it can handle) but you have to build it yourself. Now, the directions for it are among thee BEST step by step directions (PDF) that I, or my engineer father have ever seen. In some steps, it even has quick youtube tutorial links. all the from building it, to setting up firmware, installing it on the computer, how to tune it in, everything. There is nothing that went unnoticed.


Oh, last note: the software for it is online, and free. Open source. It doesn't get any better than that.


PS: here is a forum on 3d printing
