Today I have ordered a 3D printer. I had been thinking about getting one for awhile now and a guy at work is getting one also so thought what the hell.
I know there was talk about someone making a defrost vent for a 2nd Gen, apparently these are hard to find, anyone have a GOOD one I can try to do this also?
What about 1st gen? Hard to find also? Mine have the little clip sides broken off. Someone have a good one?
Have also been thinking about "Deluxe Horn Rings". Anyone have one I can make a copy of? If I can get demand, I can find someone to "Spray On Chrome" these also. The finish from the printer I am getting is .003, about the thickness of a human hair so the edge is VERY smooth.
Here is the plan. With the suggestion of Gregg, I downloaded and installed 123D Capture software. With the software you take 20+ pictures of your object (I plan on much more just to ensure model quality), upload in the software, receive a 3D model. Export the model, create layers, print.
I have a friend that makes 24 inch turn tables. I will mark the turn table at 30* increments, I can turn the table and take pictures of the object at each increment, I plan on using white sheets as the back ground.
Going from the price guide a defrost vent would cost less than $5 is my estimate.
Thoughts?
