Title: Looking for simple rapid prototyping for btc Post by: tgmarks on February 10, 2012, 01:23:40 AM I'm looking for someone that has a MakerBot or access to a rapid prototyping machine to make some simple thin plastic prototypes for me and take payment in bitcoin. Let me know what you would charge.

Can you cnc plastic thats 2/10 inch thick? could yes, have no. 2/10 is a bit of an odd size normal sizes to have on hand are 1/16 1/8 and 1/4(slightly thicker than 2/10 at .25 inches) Title: Re: Looking for simple rapid prototyping for btc Post by: foggyb on February 10, 2012, 07:00:24 PM It would take a little away from the design but could still work i think. Can you cnc plastic thats 2/10 inch thick? Possibly I might be able to cut these out of 1/4" stock and sand off 0.05 inches with a 48" sheet sander. That is, if you think you'll need enough to fill a sheet. Title: Re: Looking for simple rapid prototyping for btc Post by: tgmarks on February 10, 2012, 07:11:48 PM 1/4" would work fine, just if I was doing rapid prototyping you usually pay per cubic inch of material and it only needs to be 2/10 thick

Although 0.2" = 5.08mm, so maybe 5mm metric would work. Send a drawing & quantity, I can make up a quote for you. |
