Title: [WTB] Have Access to a 3-D Printer?
Post by: johnniewalker on September 24, 2013, 10:42:33 PM
Hey,
I am looking for someone with access to a 3-D Printer. I want a simple "BTC" figure. For dimensions I am thinking about 3'' x 1.5''. If you can help me, please send a PM.
Thanks!

Price depends on other factors other than size. Also 3 x 1.5 x depth?

Materials: PLA, ABS, not so common: PC, nylon, laywood

Definition: The time needed depends heavily on the layer size, some prints require a whole day, and shit happens sometimes as well... You can also give your parts an acetone finish, which will make them shine and feel smooth, it can also erase imperfections or even the layers if applied for a long time...

Infill: Prints are usually partially hollow, the higher infill the more material will be used

If you want to get anyone interested you should post more details or the design itself, perhaps you can post it in thingiverse or use one of the already available there...

You could always try Shapeways, based in the Netherlands but they work quick and I've gotten good prints from them.

Yes shapeways offers a good professional service ;)

It is a bit expensive but prints are made with laser sintering instead of extrusion, so the detail and quality is much better. They also do metal and clay prints.

You just upload the file and it will tell you the different prices for the different materials available.
