Neat site with low budget 3d printers.

Very cool. If that's the price for a low budget one, I hate to ask how much the originals cost.

Ive client who runs a wax 3D printer for foundry casting processes.
Ppl present broken valves, conrods, heads etc.. get them 3D modeled, reproduced, cast, machined and voila'.. replaced with new.

sell your houses to group buy a second hand one.

The Thing-o-matic above for ~1100US is a thing-o-beauty !

if it printed prop casts.. Id be able to replicate props with ease !

You read my mind

Thing-o-matic could be mod to print wax..
To create 'duplicated prop' print code would require a 3D laser imaging system.. akin Spectral .. ~US3000 for 100x100x100mm .. and we need to edit map for stubshaft align..
umm.. copy a prop 3D imaging 'widget' ...~3000
make a wax prop thing-o-matic 'widget' ... ~1500
cast a prop foundry equip 'widget' ... ~1000
BeCu or CoCr or 304SS and associated . ? ~500?

personally.. Id rather buy from OSE !!!
