 Glue it, screw it, bolt it, rivet it, weld it. If the design is flawed it will fail. - Gdeaver [more] |

Our school was recently given a 3d printer from NASA. (Thanks Nasa!) As a little test of the resolution of the printer, and to learn how to use the software, we decided to print out our CAD of our robot. This is the largest size object that it can print. It is approximately a 8.33 scale.
So, the dimensions are 6" tall, ~4" wide, ~3" long.
It is made of ABS plastic, and took 33 hours to print

What, no moon rocks?
Otherwise I would officially declare this, "Cool"*
*It must be taken into consideration that I am by no means cool, I barely know the definition of the word (below 67 right?)

Man, I wish I had a 3D printer so I could make models of FRC robots and play with them like action figures... It would make strategy a billion kinds of fun!

Good job. We joke to our coach that he needs to buy us a portable 3-D color printer for our scouting meetings.

That Looks AWSOME!! My school has a printer too and I am really looking forward to trying the same thing based off the CAD model in my avatar. I also want to try to make a key chain with little moon rocks!

That looks really awesome
3D printers are so sweet. I really wish that we had one (though for all I know, we might. It's probably just hidden back in one of the art rooms :/ )

You didn't update the CAD model after changing your scoring mechanism?

AMAZING amount of detail! Everything, the sprockets, the pneumatic cylinders, the compressor, it's all there...
Great Job! I'm jealous!

are definitely needed, as well as thick rubber gloves. (it has a Ph of 13)There were lift gates, a power distribution board, our "thwhacker" (an arm to push the balls out), and our follower wheels.
