anyone in the Charlotte area have a 3d printer?
dang it!Just sold mine a few weeks ago since I hadn’t used it in a while.
I 3D printed tons of functional stuff though, from a Chick-fil-A sauce holder that attaches to a car A/C vent, to a case feeder for my LNL AP.

I was just wanting to print a copy of these 3 small parts.Are you looking for some parts or interested in getting one yourself? I’m not in Charlotte but have been printing for years. Printing so many various things from function prints to full size helmets or Knick knacks. Happy to help either way.

And there is some information on printing them here:

How much $?I’ll look into it in a bit. Looks like a super simple print that wouldn’t take long. I have some carbon fiber filament that would work well with these.

I've been looking at getting into this for a while now. Just always seem to be just outside what I'm willing to spend.
I just noticed the CTRL+PEW's website is down "for maintenance"
That aint good.
Posted this on the other thread but basically there are cool things on his site not found elsewhere
My only caution about getting into 3D printing is you have to enjoy the technical side of things. This is DIY friendly, not quite mainstream consumer friendly yet IMO.
Would you mind elaborating on this?
Im very interested in a small unit, dont need huge parts, but it'd be fun to play with
3D printing requires you to ensure the bed (print surface) is perfectly level and that your nozzle is about the thickness of a piece of paper away from the bed. If your bed is warped or the glass bed surface isn’t perfectly flat, you’ll have issues. Once you get it right, it should be good to go, but inevitably you have to redo it as a result of vibration, temp changes, or inadvertently bumping the adjustment wheel.Would you mind elaborating on this?

I’m not sure what that part is but that’s doable.About the printers, how strong are the parts that come out and how do you get blueprints to go by?
I'm looking for something like this
Looks like 230 shipped on Amazon, not too bad.The ender 3 is a lot of people’s go to for starting 3D printing. Cheap but works decently well enough to get you into it.

I wish I would have picked the one up for sale here the other week at 200
Do these printers have leveling feet on them? And how to you make sure it's perfectly level, just a torpedo level or what?
230 vs 1000... lol
I dont know why I want one so bad ha But I do.
I need to think about what all I really need/want and if it's worth it to buy
That's an instrument cluster base for a 70's Ford. Very hard to find. I bought one on Ebay over a month ago but it hasn't shipped yet. I have the option of getting a refund or waiting but you just can't find on intact at a junk yard. Whatever plastic they made them out of degraded so bad that you crush it if you try to pick it up.I’m not sure what that part is but that’s doable.
Daniel Defense is 3D printing suppressors and there are other impressive examples of strength. These kind of things aren’t doable on a consumer grade printer yet but you can easily print very strong things out of PLA (basic filament), ABS (intermediate), and nylon composites incl carbon fiber (moderate) at home.
I have examples of PLA items that you cannot brake with your hands, but they’re not mechanical or bearing items, they’re a business card holder and my LNL case feeder.
The “blueprints”, aka CAD files which are turned into STL files, come from a CAD design or 3D scan if you’re so fortunate.
Gotcha. It would likely be a good item to print out of ABS but getting the CAD completed and completed correctly would be really difficult. The other issue would be finding a printer with a bed large enough to print that. My printer was pretty larger at 10x10”, they made larger versions up to 15”, and I know there are some other printers on the market that are bigger but usually big non-commercial printers get taller before they get much wider.That's an instrument cluster base for a 70's Ford.

I actually chat with CTRL Pew a good bit in our 3D gun printing group. He's legit.I just noticed the CTRL+PEW's website is down "for maintenance"

Anyone want to print me one of these dope card holders? Says the file is free
