Matsi 35 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Just got a 3d printer, it's awesome fun to use, tho it takes hours to print anything... Here's in progress pictures of the case I am printing for my Galaxy S6 Edge The Filiment is a purple and it changes to pink when it heats up. so like if my phone gets hot or I am holding it those areas will turn pink! Pretty cool stuff! :) Dropbox - phone case printing Edited February 24, 2016 by Matsi (see edit history) 5 DemonicDisaster, Rhododendron, MissFluffy_ and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChickenPanda 66 Posted February 24, 2016 I have one at my dad's place, they're super cool. In 8th grade we did a science project where we had to mail ourselves a pringle in an attempt to not break it. I measured the pringle and made a 3D printed box out of it rofl. It was awesome. 1 Matsi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest 309 Posted February 25, 2016 How malleable is the plastic itself after being printed? I figured 3D printed anything would be pretty brittle, but does it depend on the filament being used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goblin 154 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) When I worked at Barnes and Noble we had one were able to use, and we sold some of the stuff it could print at the store. If I had one of those suckers for myself I'd be making my money back through etsy and other stuff like that.

Matsi 35 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) How malleable is the plastic itself after being printed? I figured 3D printed anything would be pretty brittle, but does it depend on the filament being used? I have both PLA and ABS plastic, the PLA is a little bit flexible, the ABS things I have made are solid as hell, I was actually making a flashlight mount for my M&P40 picatinny rail and forgot that abs shrinks a little as it cools so it was too small, it too a lot of force to break it and even then it only cracked. Here's a video of a guy testing some ABS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wa__KCm_T0 It broke at 250 lbs of weight Edited March 5, 2016 by Guest (see edit history) 1 1 Thorax_ and Forest reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
