FoxyRoadster Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I just ordered a 3d printer and will be printing stuff off, if anyone needs anything let me know I'm hoping this will make interior peices that are hard to come by a thing of the past.

metalmonkey47 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 In all seriousness, if you could print 620 dash bezels, you'd be the MAN! Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice, for knobs and such you will probaly want to look into acetone vapor smoothing. Quote Link to comment
DatB210 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm gonna need one of these! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I wish the platform was larger on that thing... Will be cool to see what you create. I have a few models on standby for when I can get ahold of a printer. I'm hoping to be able to use my schools. They have a few for their Industrial Design program. Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 What a neat toy. Feed some stem cells in that thing and print me a new liver :D I can't wait to see your first creation! Quote Link to comment

Dawa Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 ah i saw that one. another dude i was talkin to on zilvia uses it to print gauge housings/pods, etc you could print the 620 center console gauge din, those seem to go for a lil bit i also learned that there are metal printers as well, crazy Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 i also learned that there are metal printers as well, crazy that's what I was wondering, can you do metal and resins? O just resins? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 The link provided looks like it can only do ABS. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 metal printers are larger and 1000s more expensive Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 The link provided looks like it can only do ABS. missed the link Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 i also learned that there are metal printers as well, crazy We looked into buying one of those for work about 1/2 to 3/4 million just to start :huh: Needless to say we aren't getting it :hmm: Quote Link to comment
OkieRA29 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Seems the print area is too small for AR lowers. Gunsmith friend of mine have had lengthy discussions about this. I completely support what the guys at Defense Distributed are doing. Heck if I could afford one of the larger 3D printers I would be printing AR lowers as we speak. 1 Quote Link to comment
