RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 3d printer video

Mr Afogassa,

I am impressed with this project, and would like to undertake it...however I fear that my technical skills are not up to it. I am a Mechanical Engineer, so the mechanical end should be no problem, I also have CAD experience, but the electronics are my weak point. Have you ever considered putting down this information in a primer, or possibly a construction manual? I for one would be willing to pay a reasonable price for something like this, as it could save me countless frustrating hours of experimentation.

That is very very impressive. I have a couple of question if you dont mind.- How do you actually controll the printer cartridge? do you just dismantlethe printer and move it on top of powder container, or are you controllingit yourself.- After having "printed" out this plaster item, how can it be converted intoa usable object in another material? Is ist possible to make molds of it orwhat would the obvious way be to use the printed items. - Im looking for anargument for trying this out. I would like to be able to make items inplastic or if possible cast alu/iron.- How does the printer cartridge handle using water, do they corrode at somepoint.Best RegardsKim Mortensen2008/7/22, afogassa <afogassa@...>:>> --- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@yahoogroups.com<CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO%40yahoogroups.com>,> Jon Elson <elson@...> wrote:> >> > afogassa wrote:> > > --- In CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO@yahoogroups.com<CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO%40yahoogroups.com>,> Maxi Bertotto> <tiwanacote@>> > > wrote:> > >> > >>Congratulations!!!!!
