Title: 3D printing windsheild Gear
Post by: Crocman on October 16, 2015, 04:48:51 PM

Hey Guys I have just receive my brand new windscreen shield gear and before I install it I thought it would be a good idea to get it scanned for future use in a 3d printer as I don't have the knowledge or 3d printer just wanted to know if anyone out there would and what's the best way to do this I added photos of the gear below thanks George

Its possible to print in metal these days, but the machines are pretty expensive. There are some places over east that do 3d Printing, give them a call and see what the cost would be.

A tray of them would probably cost as much as one

I have a 3D printer, but only ABS and PLA, so not really suitable for the end use. Now, I'm sure I could convert it to chocolate, but that would be no better. It would be fun though.

No just a standard one that does all types of plastic and a wooden one as well.
I am wanting to set bot a Laser unit and a 5 axis CNC router as well.

I have software that can turn a bunch of pictures into a 3D model.
i.e Take a min of 12 pictures around ,,,,,say your ride and then using
the free software "123D Catch.exe" you can create your 3D image and then
maybe a model from a 3D printer.
just sayin.
Tipsy & Turvy.
would love a metal one but..............
