Would I be able to 3D print it? Are there places I can go to do this? You can 3D print metal. It's kind of a premium but you can do it. You'll probably pay about $300 more for this. You can't 3D print wood but they sell PLA filament that have wood dust inside of them that make them feel more woody and less plasticy. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:965538522] in I wanna cu...

DanHaren2022 06/04/22 11:42:49 AM #13:	Metal it is the. Cost is not an issue. But I rather outsource the 3d printing rather than buy a printer myself since I won't use it much. <cite>DanHaren2022 posted [p:965538907] in I wanna cu...

CobraGT 06/04/22 12:32:27 PM #14:	@Tyranthraxus@Smashingpmkns Do you actively do 3D printing? I got an original Prusa Mini which works but I am determined to set it up myself. It is amazing how many mistakes you can make with something basically fool proof. I was trying to callibrate the first layer with the Wizard and then found out I have to slice my own first layer because .25mm nozzle and the Wizard assumes .4 nozzle. --- GoldenSun/Crossbone Isle diagrams/ 18 teams known https://photobucket.com/u/SwordOfWheat/a/9990a2ee-25f3-4242-ae79-7d2d4b882be4 <cite>CobraGT posted [p:965539868] in I wanna cu...
