Another vote for Bambu Lab. Took some advice from someone who has been doing it for a long time and bought the X1 Carbon model and I am very happy with it. The design software took the most time to learn. I also use fusion 360, once you get used to it, it pretty impressive what you can do.
Did you know CAD before hand? I haven't used any cad in almost 20 years. Absolutely loved it in university but I would be lost nowadays

Every now and then I will make electrical schematics at work but not too often. Really it’s just when I make something and I know I will forget how tf it works if I ever need to fix it. I’m sure that experience helped a bit but fusion 360 is quite different. YouTube is full of instructional videos.

Any one try printing up some hand guns?

Must need a few metal parts too i would guess lol
If you can find it or scan a frame for a handgun. Not illegal to buy parts. Just can’t get the frame here in Khanada. Maybe illegal to buy hand gun parts now as well.

You can’t get a puck knob on a metal bat. We got a Black Friday deal on a bat but it was a 33”. So I built a puck knob to shorten the grip. And it works really well. Maybe we should work together and get this going.

Sweet.

I’m totally a rookie. But did up my first design. But currently try to make a little holder for a usb outlet in the matryx glovebox.

I think that knob would be pretty simple to fab up. What’s the I.D and O.D ?

Fawk my printer is slow. It would take a week to print that giant oversized fist 🤛 idea.

Couple guys I work with have some nice 3d printers and do some pretty cool stuff with them, one buddy made some sick remote control sleds with his for each of his groomsmen, they look awesome. Might have to buy one and start doing some printing of my own

This one because of the large print bed size.


Saw it recommended online somewhere and looks like the best $ print size ration.

Princess Auto took the old demel model back after sitting in my garage for 3 years, no problem. Only gave me the last sale price but it was close to what I paid on clearance.

It was good simple unit to learn a few things on.

Got the new one set up and getting to know it. She is big. Reviews Sounds like the large size come at a bit of a cost for user friendliness a bit as it is more hands on for getting it level compared to other units.

Printed the tool holder that came on the thumb drive.

Now testing this fawker out on a Onewheel stand that i found online.

12 hours to go. But we can be making 18 inch fists in no time!

How strong would that be to use?
Depends on the filament being used. There are some very strong filaments out there, PPA-CF made by Bambu is a very strong material that would be suitable for a Linq parts. A person would have to do some research on the filament being used as some of the cheaper stuff will absorb moisture.

How much does the fliliment cost?

If its double the price of what skidoo charges for a bracket might not be worth it. Haha
