Re: 3D Printing with Nylon: Robot applications?
That is pretty cool. We have both the Replicator Dual and the Replicator 2, and have been using it all season, last year, for a bunch of stuff, including custom spacers (specially hex), hub caps, various mounts (encoders and ) and even a couple of wheels that were printed out last minute during competition.
We also found it helpful in using the Replicator to generate engineering interest among high school students and also in helping with recruiting process. A good percentage of students always seem interested to learn more about 3D printing.
We have also been testing to try and set up a support structure using water soluble PVA plastic. I have never tried Nylon, but will definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing this btw.
