Hi Gene Hacker,

i followed the f@h-development the last year too, but either f@h nor reprap can do the finishing - the surface-accuracy is much to coarse sad smiley

The best try in the actual stage would be lost-cast-moulding with fields metall or lowtemp-wax (which didn't stick to epoxy) and mould with epoxy ...

... an update for 3D-stacking chess-pieces:



Milled from 3mm Foamalux, total height 4cm.

Actually my sons insist in building 'personalized' figurines for their favorite boardgames - when i'll do this, it would mean some months designing and milling eye popping smiley

If you're going to make something out of metal it would be really cool to print your own monopoly pieces.

... i've designed a complete set of stacked pieces:


If someone is interested in milling or fabbing them i'll append the DXF-output and when converted for my mill there would be optimized DXF, HPGL or NCP ... i'm searching a GCode-converter ...

... and here the milled set of mini-pieces:


I used a sample-sheet of laminate with 0.8mm thickness and milled with a 1mm-head.

... now the other evolved to 3D-chips.
