Hey Everyone, We're a small health & fitness technology startup & are building prototypes for one of our first products. We're thinking about purchasing a 3D printer here in the near future, but want to get the first plastic parts ready asap. A couple of the parts are 7" long, so it will likely need to be printed on a mendel reprap w/ a larger bed. If anyone has a system that can do this, please let me know. We're trying to do the first release as cost effectively as possible. Thanks, Steve https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,104202#msg-104202 Sat, 12 Sep 2026 22:44:22 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,107005#msg-107005 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,107005#msg-107005 spacexula North Carolina RepRap User Group Sun, 20 Nov 2011 11:14:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,104216#msg-104216 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,104216#msg-104216
One part is intended to be rubber, but we figured we could print the part in abs / pla, smooth its surface a bit & use it as a "positive for making a mould.]]> steve North Carolina RepRap User Group Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:15:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,104202#msg-104202 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?37,104202,104202#msg-104202
