Title: Digging this New Additive Machining
Post by: Dreeves on March 20, 2018, 11:00:03 PM
I got my Tevo Black Widow several months ago. I have made the test pieces and little things. I decided to build another Upshur engine and wanted a one piece water hopper. I drew it in cad and sent the pattern to the printer. way cool to go from a drawing to a part with just push of a button. I printed the core box as well.

Amazing technology isn't it. How did you smooth out the 3D printed part(s) prior to casting?

Bill. 300 grit sand paper and elbow grease.

The 3d printing technology is fun. I made a lot of tool holders but it's also great for prototyping small mechanisms.
I've been playing with some 4-bar linkages (3d printed) and a stepper motor.
Let your imagination go!
