This was printed in PLA 100% infill. Stiff, nice finish. The real test is drill and tap. My design has one wrong angle, so if I use for production; I have to make one cut.
UPDATE: At least for the 8-32 holes, drilling and tapping went well. The legs ended up 0.7% wider and 3% rhicker than drawing. Perhaps a quirk of how PLA cures.
Drillin and tapping worked well.
Clayton,
ReplyDeleteWhat did you finally use for creating a 3D model? I have some interest in getting some things created with 3D printing, but I have not got the knack of creating 3D models down. I had used a free 3D modeling program to create models for visual effect, but never really had any facility with it.
Thank you, Jim Bender
I have a friend with AutoCAD who did it for me. I tried using FreeCAD, and it mystifies me.
