Making scales on a printer.

[commiecat]

I have access to a 3D printer at my work and I'm fairly certain that I could arrange use of it for personal items on occasion. My question is simple; could somebody here design some scales in CAD software?

The printer can get create models that are very intricate. If your design has raised lettering, recessed lettering, spikes, tentacles, whatever, it will get printed. The models are rock solid and can withstand a good amount of impact.

Here's the material it will be made of:
FullCure720 Transparent Materials - Objet Geometries

So if anybody wants to send me some CAD drawings (STL or SLC files) I'd really appreciate it. If all goes well I would print two pairs and mail one back to whoever designed them.

Is this like one of those rapid prototyping machines.. sounds like a cool idea

Yeah it's pretty slick, too. Unfortunately I don't know how to do anything in CAD. I guess if nobody chimes in I could always bring a razor in to one of our engineers and see if they'd design it. But that's boring -- I want creative shavers!

Damn, if only I knew/had CAD...

Well drats. I guess I can take a drawing and have someone at work design it in CAD. Then I can post it in the help files.

I thought of an additional question; would there be any reason not to create the scales as one piece? Meaning that the spacer would not be a separate piece and you'd only need one pin where the blade swives.

EDIT: Philadelph and any other scale makers; if you give me a PDF drawing of some ideas and include the dimensions, I might be able to use that.

I'm not too bad at designing in 3dsMax.

Hey What's up????

I am an exoerienced 3D cad modeller. Send me the dimensions from pin to pin... and heel to toe on the blade... I will rock you some scales ready for the Rapid -Pro machine... One catch I want a pair as well.

Cheers

Well this is more of a "I want to see how this turns out" thing, so go ahead and draw up some scales that you could use and I'll see if I can print them out. If you can make it as close to standard then that'd be cool but I honestly don't have any razors right now to put these on. I'd prefer some details that would be difficult to carve/cut by hand just to show off, so go wild. I'll print two pairs -- one for myself and one to mail back to the designer.

Send me a PM when you have a model. I mentioned up-thread that the files need to be in STL or SLC format. This printer is at my workplace so I can't guarantee that I'll print them, but I'd say that it's 95% likely.

Cool......

Hate to bump this but there were several posts about making CAD files, but I never heard back.

So is there anyone else interested? Read the thread for specifics. Basically, if you know CAD and can make some scales, send me either an STL or SLC file and I can print them as a very durable acrylic-based material.

I'd print two pairs, one pair for me to keep and one pair to be mailed back to whoever sends me the file(s).
