The 3D Printing Adventure Continue...

[18111]

Here is my latest adventure in the 3D printing. The snake is very popular animal integrated into clip/roll stopper designs. Here is my version. This is printed in white plastic. As you can guess, It's a little flimsy as a clip but fine as a roll stopper. I ordered gold plated stainless steel as well but it will come little later. I'm really having fun with this technology.

Which printer are you using? I'm considering getting one.

Awesome! Very nice photography too.

Now, that is a perfect shape for PMC too...

I don't have one. I use "Shapeways" as my printer. I believe the desktop 3D printer need little more improvement in print quality and price for practical use.

Thank you! It's quite a compliment from pro.

Could we expect PMC version soon?

I am going to try PMC clips more seriously. The current plan is to CNC a clip onto a wax block (Green Ferris 'File-a-wax') as below:

,

Then make an L shaped open silicone rubber mould for the PMC from the wax positive. That way the clay can be smeared into the mould, it dry and then the mould bent away from the clay before firing.

 

I hope it'll work...

Looking forward to see the result.
