Re: 3D Printer Advice

We (2537) have a 3-D printer, and actually my mechanism is pretty much composed of polycarb and the printed stuff. That being said, my mechanism rarely comes into contact with other parts of the field and is not expected to take a beating. Nor is it expected to be load bearing. What we've found is that they can actually serve as v e r y serviceable motor mounts and that one special "something" that you can't really buy and would be a hassle to machine.
