3D Printing Thread

Hey everyone,

Since 3D printing has become a useful product that the average hobbyist can enjoy, I figured I could start a thread on equipment and projects folks are willing to share. A good starting point for those interested in getting one for business or pleasure.

I am starting this thread since I have run into a situation where it might be something I want to pursue or have someone attempt it on a machine they possess. I am hoping that today’s different materials/polymers allow for a viable solution. I’ve seen where folks have made prosthetic limbs so I am going to assume(slippery slope) that materials are durable.

The original item is ABS plastic that becomes brittle over time and heat.


It’s 9 3/8” wide by 2 1/8” approximately.

Is there a program that will allow an item to be digitally scanned with precise dimensions for a 3D print solution and if so, how good is it.

So let the good times roll and suggestions and recommendations are always welcome.

Cheers
