 Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. - Taylor [more] |

Re: Gearbox for mechanism or appendage
Cool project! Very cool that you'll be able to sell them.
It seems like whenever I talk about 3D printing at work (that's all the time), someone always suggests that I use printed parts to make my own metal castings. It seems easiest to do something like lost-ABS investment casting, taking advantage of ABS's low melting point. Seems like this would be the perfect project to try this out. Where you have mating surfaces, you could add additional thickness and clean them up in a mill to get closer to the requisite surface finish. Last edited by Nate Laverdure : 01-11-2014 at 07:07. |
