3D Printing - Now moved into metal work

[Lazarus]

Oh, no, dear boy: I'm a proper Yorkshireman and have SALAD CREAM on my Chips.

How jolly dare you!

Now there's something I've not had in a while, salad cream on chips.... O-Ha

Spare parts in space or other hostile environments becomes reality.

And a reasonable price drop, $300.

Printing plastic bunnies is all very interesting but the other news item your link takes us to about the human race diversifying caught my eye even more ..

They're saying hat might happen?? It already has, the dimwitted subculture drive about in chavvy cars acting like they own everything, while the rest of us with brains watch as they drive into a tree and eliminate themselves from the gene pool...

Indeed. It already happened....

As for metal 3D printing... perhaps someone can come up with a nice polar mount design that we can "print" out amongs ourselves...?

How about a couple of 3 metre dish reflectors with perfect parabolic surfaces ?

I do occasionally wonder what the weirdest thing a person has printed out with a 3D printer, whether metal, plastic or the protein re-sequencer...

When you say 'weird' it all depends on who eventually wears them.

Anyhow we are not worthy as all this was done 'virtually' thirty years ago, I might pop the DVD in tonight

Waking this up...
Anyone else have a 3D printer on here? seems they are more mainstream now.

I have a Printrbot Metal, modified it to take a E3D V6 Hot end, added more fans and compiled a custom firmware from the sources provided but modified them and added options. Also fitted a LCD Display/SD Card holder.
The supplied PSU is a crappy cheap Chinese PC PSU, so fitted a "Meanwell Type" Frame PSU.

 

[Topper]

That would be a negatori big buddy

(You have to be of a certain era to know about that)

 

[Lazarus]

Breaker, breaker ...

10-10 until we do it again, good buddy.
