Re: pic: How we deal with a part shortage.
We ABS print plenty of our parts,but have always strayed away from using them in drive...this year our hopper belts are driven with ABS printed belts and they're great. Last year we also used ABS pulleys for our belting...printing drive components is something I'd love to try out in the off season.

We have a large Dimension printer(not sure of the part number). I believe this makes a lot of our parts stronger than ones done on a Makerbot because of the smaller print head...
