They sure would, Oli! 👍

Thanks Rich. 😄

Excellent.....and indeed interesting

Thanks, James 😄 Happy New Year 😍

I think the reason most jobs are not exceptional, is the definition of "exceptional". Changing that might be simpler.

.....But I do intend to give this a look. Thanks for sharing!

Mcor has a very interesting printer. Here's one of my models made in paper on their machine. Feels almost like wood.

They are expanding their presence like you mention, but as yet there are few services that offer Mcor printing to the public.

Paper Mcor part

DMLS is usually used to make parts for rockets and high end cars where the cost can be justified, but they wanted to show on a smaller set of intricate parts what the capabilities are. Guns have to be manufactured to high tolerances, and those parts came out of the printer ready to use - no hand finishing required! To me, that really shows the power of 3D printing.

I'd love to see what you get printed. 👍

3D Printing is for Housewares!

These mini keg shotglasses are 3D printed in ceramic powder, then glazed and fired in a kiln.

This is a tea candle holder that I made as a gift for my sister in 2010. She still uses it almost every day! Printed in SLS nylon.

A lamp also made in SLS nylon. Its fun to pick up and play with, and also throws a neat pattern when lit.

Thanks Richard. I'm happy to help you if it works out! 👍

Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Thanks for the answers.

I'm trending towards candy at this point as I come from a confectionery background and thinking about personalized chocolates and maybe in future if the tech is right to go into hard candy.

It has begun 😉

It's nothing 💚

Yeah, but was it made in Sketchup? 😛

Could we see a few sections through the model? It would be nice to see how the shade fits with the lamp stand.

A very nice piece of work.

Kind regards,
Bob

Not completely true. You can buy edu license in UK...

Yes, and I even added this:

...some "international" (as "non-US" is generally called ) resellers do but there are countries where there are no resellers.

There is no reseller in Hungary particularly.

surely can't stop Hungarian students to buy in UK...EU regs
