Hi, I’m interested in printing with beeswax; can anyone tell me if it’s possible with the RepRap? Can you give me some advice?

With heating the dispenser above the melting temperature you can dispense the wax and it will solidify on the colder surface.

For best results you need a piston driven dispenser - see the dispensers and samples of the fab@home-project: [fabathome.org]]]> VDX General Mon, 14 May 2012 07:49:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132705#msg-132705 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132705#msg-132705 -------------------------------------------------------

I designed this Chocolate Extruder which has hot air circulation to keep the chocolate at a constant temperature. What's the melting point of the wax? If it's in suitable range for ABS, this extruder should be able to print it.]]> ttsalo General Mon, 14 May 2012 07:37:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132662#msg-132662 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132662#msg-132662 I didn't know if PLA would burn out. Now I just have to make another print head, and order some PLA.]]> jakowisp General Sun, 13 May 2012 18:59:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132477#msg-132477 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,132413,132477#msg-132477 Calum Douglas for his 600cc racing engine.
He has already offered to help others with how to cast parts from PLA.
