I need a replacement foglight for my 2001 Audi S4 Avant - someone stole mine and they are out of production. I'm sure you could whip that out in no time!

Building stuff from scratch can take a while for a 3d modeler hobbyist... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher15 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have been printing on a printer I designed and built from scratch. I used to teach engineering and used 3d software. Now I model and develop for myself as a hobby. I have done some overflow screens and such, but most of what I do is for drones and planes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up the Monoprice mini delta for auto leveling, heated bed and ease of use. But most of all price, such a good deal.The build envelope is pretty small though, cannot assist in printing reefi enclosures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmas_one Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Cool stuff, have you thought of selling these on shapeways? I bought a printed viewfinder for one of my cameras from them. From my understanding the seller just uploads to shapeways and then they print it and ship it to the buyer. This was news to me that people are doing this.
