3D printing from Bredgeo

[Hisrudeness]

My 2nd Big Ben is missing a function knob.

I sent an original to Bredgeo and he printed a couple up for me.

Nice! Who doesn't want a 3D printer?! I'd love one

Cool cant wait to see it painted.

Those aren't 3D printed, I believe they are cast and poured acrylic.

That's cool, but yeah I think it was cast, you can see bubbles at the end of the shaft.
I'm curious about the material, Is it a brittle plastic that you can sand, or is it softer?

 

[Hisrudeness]

A cast you think? Well I guess the best person to answer that is Bredgeo. I'm just happy to have another complete set.
The plastic can be sanded. I'll post pictures when it's painted.

[Fatdog]

It's a shame case screws couldn't be done.

Cracking job though Bredgeo.

I'm still playing and learning my 3-D printers. Hoping to make a bunch of different parts...

 

[bredgeo]

Thanks guys...

It is simple resin, molding resin... as strong as, if not stronger, than most of the plastics used (especially the VZ sliders!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Dr DER... make sure you use the most expensive material for the 3D printer and the smallest possible bit/nozzle you have, if not the repos are fictional but have no esthetic.

What do you mean?
