Sounds daft this, but 3D printing scares me, don't know why!

I watched a programme about it, they printed a whistle, complete with pea inside, can't get my head round that

A co-worker of mine picked up a ball bearing done on one at a trade show once. A working ball bearing about the diameter of a pop bottle. The tolerance was not very good.

They probably would have had to break the pea off inside the whistle after it was done? It would have to be attached to something to print it no?

I dont know. Just blabbing.

It doesn't have to be attached, there is a "support" material that is removed after the part is finished.

I am looking to get some parts printed in PCblend. I think I have one .stl file sourced already. But, another part I need is a variation/prototype version of what later became the production version. There is enough of a difference between the two...

Looking at the part, it looks quite easy to model... And a nice start to onboard within 3D design with Fusion360...

Hey guys, I saw some Lazer ZX parts that nave been designed on the 3D printing website Shapeways and was wondering if anyone's had any Optima parts done yet? I tried searching but nothing came up.

I think the most wanted parts for the first gen...

How is the plating on those?

The rims in the bag are genuine items. However the extra (wide) insert and (wide) inside rim looks to have been printed. They have a very unusual texture to them. Almost like they've been sandblasted.

The same as the...

I should be working on my 20 other RC projects, but instead I decided to model the aluminum RC10 chassis and massage the design to make it 3D printable out of ABS plastic (which is obviously WAY more flexible than 6061-T6 :D ). The printer I have at...

First off, I’m new at this. I’m not a pro. I’m learning as I go

I have two printers. A Malyan M200 and a currently unfinished Creality CR-10s. The Malyan is printing really well right now so I’m in no hurry to finish up the Creality. The CR-10s...
