Thread: 3D Printing of Parts

The possibilities are endless. As an example Storey Wilson (RSW Solutions) produced spacers for a lift kit for his own p38.

I better hang on to my good spares of both!

Don't get too excited. The science department at work has one they use to make parts for model aircraft which students construct. It takes a LONG time to 3D to print a simple part.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using AULRO mobile app

DiscoMick, certainly the home spec printers take a long time to print but some of the high end commercial units can print at a commercially acceptable speed. It all depends on your budget and how long you are prepared to wait for a part. Size of some of the home printers is also an issue for the larger parts.

Not sure this is the right forum to attempt to organise a group manufacture of P38 parts which was my intention

Anyway I will update this thread if and when I get more info

That intent was not made clear, Steve, that's why it was mentioned and discussed in the Mods area. Group Buys go into the Markets.

I thought about putting the thread here, but decide since it was P38 specific I would put it in the P38 forum. I'm not sure it really is a group buy either.

The idea was to see if anyone else was in interested in contributing to the cost of the scan because once we have that unit production is easy.

Anyway I think I have found a good second hand one overseas, so i may not pursue this any further at this point

The prices are still way to high, in OZ anyway

"To scan this item will take 6 hours at a cost of $660 (GST incl). Then the potential printing cost will be around the $800, once i have the file I will be able to give you a better indication of price."

Probably be better in the US
