Default 3D Printer

Guys,

Just wondering if someone has or has access to a 3D Printer?

I have a couple of plastic parts I want to get printed up but dont have the funds to purchase a 3D Printer just yet.

The parts are quite large (15cm tall cylinder and a 15cm x 15cm square).

Cheers,
jase

cant see the vid, but the one in the pic is very similar.
the guy running the display showed me a plastic helical gear he printed up for his car.
maybe try asking the people in this link for his contact details - he was the only 3d printer there.
cheers

If your plastic parts arent to crazy i can machine them for you.

Thanks Andy.

Russ - Nah they are pretty basic. I will finish off the Google Sketch Up drawings and give you a squiz. They are basic shapes, squares, cylinders and the like.
