looks like we will be forced in-to custom print one

2017-06-19 20:58:28 UTC  

kiiinda wanna see how this goes with a ksc75/portapro driver slapped in it

2017-06-19 20:59:08 UTC  

but for $80 i may as well just make the fkn thing myself

2017-06-19 20:59:24 UTC  

each of you should send me $1 and i will buy it and make review,i will totally not take the money buy alcohol get drunk and become homeless

2017-06-19 21:00:04 UTC  

expensive grado cups too

2017-06-19 21:00:11 UTC  

$80 i could do it in way cooler materials than wood

2017-06-19 21:00:27 UTC  

in what ? carboon fiber?

2017-06-19 21:00:35 UTC  

just make a shitty drill lathe and go to town

2017-06-19 21:01:10 UTC  

nah, if i build a lathe i'm garing up a washing machine motor for it

2017-06-19 21:01:16 UTC  

gearing even

2017-06-19 21:01:19 UTC  

kek

2017-06-19 21:01:33 UTC  

i m big fan

2017-06-19 21:01:33 UTC  

diy lathes are cool

2017-06-19 21:01:39 UTC  

i need to get a proper lathe at some point anyway, but milling machine comes first

2017-06-19 21:01:42 UTC  

i might build a big one eventually

2017-06-19 21:02:12 UTC  

tho im gonna be building a cnc router anyway so idk if ill ever get round to it

2017-06-19 21:02:19 UTC  

Im not surprised that's a thing

2017-06-19 21:02:28 UTC  

i'm prooobably actually gonna go for a router over a knee mill, easier to cut front panels and such plus i don't need to work with steel

2017-06-19 21:02:35 UTC  

everything i do with metal aluminum is fine

2017-06-19 21:02:50 UTC  

Where do you purchase aluminium?

2017-06-19 21:02:57 UTC  

aluminium tree

2017-06-19 21:03:26 UTC  

he probably just has a local supplier

2017-06-19 21:03:39 UTC  

right now i just have a couple fdm machines, they're neat and all and i can work with a loooot of materials with em since my hotend gets up to 300C and i have a pretty good fume-catching setup, but like you can only do thermoplastics with those

2017-06-19 21:03:44 UTC  

or just harvests it from shit like i do

2017-06-19 21:03:50 UTC  

sure nylon is cool, polyurethane is cool, but i want metal too

2017-06-19 21:04:06 UTC  

i live down the road from the industrial side of town

2017-06-19 21:04:30 UTC  

i can get any material i need, hell i can usually ask a buddy for some scrap and they go "yeah sure take i"

2017-06-19 21:05:02 UTC  

i harvest shit as well though, rebuilding atm but i have a filament extruder for recycling plastics

2017-06-19 21:05:14 UTC  

o shit cool

2017-06-19 21:05:22 UTC  

Anyone have an SLA/DLP printer?

2017-06-19 21:05:37 UTC  

60/40 virgin abs resin / recycled shells gives you serviceable plastic blend for anything where strength isnt critical

2017-06-19 21:05:44 UTC  

i'm looking at getting a dlp printer

2017-06-19 21:05:49 UTC  

wait for the wanhao d7 to hit v2

2017-06-19 21:05:54 UTC  

that's what i'm doing

2017-06-19 21:06:09 UTC  

I'm comfortable with the idea * of building one

2017-06-19 21:06:48 UTC  

be aware though uv resin is about as expensive as good quality rtv silicone

2017-06-19 21:06:52 UTC  

it's not cheap like fdm

2017-06-19 21:07:00 UTC  

How expensive are we talking about

2017-06-19 21:07:07 UTC  

$20 a liter?

2017-06-19 21:07:16 UTC  

try $60-$100
