I've had really good experiences with Shapeways, they do a ton of materials including some high-detail ones that'll print to 1/10th of a Milimeter. I've been doing 3D printing for quite a while with Shapeways, here's a handgaurd I did for an H&K USC45 (with a barrel long enough to change the classification to our "class 1" type guns) Made from the "strong white & flexible" dyed black. It's a very tough nylon material! Drop tests and impact tests on the previous model were fairly excessive to actually manage to brake it. Basically took a hammer to it to do structural damage! http://i.imgur.com/xidxCsg.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: about how much was the printer? is it easy to use for a beginer? For anyone that wants to see what it takes from concept to print, I made this video for fusion 360 and a Makerbot printer. Warning: It's long, a bit boring, and I say "ummm" a lot.  But will give you a good idea on what it takes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc7v-ezPqs0 |

I want to get her into painting some figures and use the money to help Pay for her cheerleading trips That's what most people do with their 3D printer.

Glad I saw this thread! Im currently waiting on my Root Gp3d printer to get here (got it on kickstarter for 375 bucks back in march). Kinda wish I had held off and gotten the davinci 1.0 though.
Either way I've had good luck printing a few glock backplates on the 3ds Cube2 that I used to have in my old office. I have a Queue of parts I've made in Solidworks and now in ProE (just learning it for a new job im starting in a week). I'll be sure to post the results when it arrives in the next month or so. |

I'm totally tagging this thread.
I was gifted a Solidoodle 2 from a colleague a couple of weeks ago, and have been playing with it as I have time. I've got some experience with 3D modelling in the past (Blender), but have no "active" skillset in that area. I'm working on it. By all means - if anyone has ideas for projects, post them here. I'd like the challenge, and would love to get involved with other Arfcommers who are interested in this stuff. |

Would there be interest in a "Thingiverse for gun stuff"?
I'm working on a project already that will allow render previews of arbitrary file types. I'm adding a task now to render .stl files, and once that's done I don't think it would take long at all to toss up a quick site to allow people to post up files. |

Iphone mount mount (before my proper optic arrived)
:
I modified a swivel mount intended for cars to mount my iPhone to my rifle. Then I synced it up with my TargetVision camera system and could watch my impacts without getting off the gun. I'm working on having one made from Aluminum, since the polymer didn't stand up to recoil. Then there was that time I made a lower which lasted over 500 rounds.
