AeroNautical Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Not bad, I'm looking into buying a 3d printer myself. It'd be nice to just "make" any small part I need. I've seen them as high as $10K. $180 is the cheapest I've heard of, and it appears to do the job pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastChief Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 It was super simple, it took 6 hours it was a demo test. My friend is using it for model making in architecture. It can print complex parts pretty fast. We used YT and figured how to make files and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 McMaster-Carr has CAD drawings of most of the things they sell available for free on their webpage. Might make the file creation part quicker for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
