Thread: 3d printed handle

Swifty, that is sweet! How long to print? Very nice Sir.

If i didn't have 9000 failed prints while i tried to figure out carbon fibre filament, it would be a build time just over 3 hours total

now for a stand....

nice work you have done there!!! i'm sorry to ask but do you happen to have the cad file for this one? i would like to print one in bronze filament, but have been looking for this cad precisely.. bit short on time to draw one myself... which was what i was about to start doing after my next restoration project..

bronze would look pretty much like this cannon (i printed this a while ago) and would have a very decent weight for the handle



there was a cad file supposed to be on Jim's OSSB site, but it seems to be no longer availale

Jim is normally very responsive, i wrote last week so i guess i'm just biting my nails waiting for him to respond, but if you happened t have one i would really appreciate an email with it

thanks man!

I drew up the cad using that exact websites dimensions!, I have your PM just send me your email and ill ship it off! I'd love to see this printed in bronze

What did you do for a stand?

Nothing special for the stand, unfortunately didn't have time to print one out.

Been a while since on the brushmakers alcove and to see this design done using both a printer and a machine shop is a treat!
Totally awesome!
I like glossy finish usually but this finish looks good too, also it highlights the fact that it was printed out.. which I think gives a certain novelty appeal.

On another thread it was brought to my attention that a certain "wax" could be used to set the plug into because it can be removed if need be. Maybe a consideration?

Thank you for this, opens up ideas on a method of fabrication of parts at home that I never thought of before.
Very useful!!!

Edit::: Anyone know which thread that was on about using wax or something else that can be removed easier? I can't seem to find it..?

Not exactly 3D printed but same base drawing. Machined on a CNC lathe in aluminium

Wow that's a beauty!

These threads got me thinking... I just watched a video of some companies developing metal 3D printing... CRAZY! Absolutely astonishing.
Way out of my budget and a little scary. Hehehe

The robots are coming, hopefully they allow us to continue wet shaving, otherwise I'm not sure I'm gonna like this new world!

The metal 3D printing is wild pricing. I have had a couple of prototypes made via 3D Hubs in some type of plastic at 20 microns per layer, and they were great- even down to pretty good, working, threading. I use that process to verify my designs.
