Anyone 3D printing parts?

The video does not show the final work...?

Any links please...?

That's impressive, Rob. It works and it's a start. One of these days the cost may make it practical.

Hey guys...

I have a 1962 Gibson (silver painted) Bakelite EB Cover that I have measured and created a CAD model.
...I have a 3D printer at work that I should have access to in the next week or so.

I'll keep you posted as I planned on making some replica parts.

Cool! I look forward to that.

I'd love to see that!

I just found that my university where I teach, Rochester Institute of Technology, has a 3D copier and printer lab.  As a faculty member I can use it just for the cost of the plastic.  I'd really like a reverse mold made of some necks I have so I can create a perfect neck pocket.  Gonna check it out.  The problem I have is the technology is still pretty unsettled and the problem they have with printed items is the plastic can shrink while drying.  Ugh, not exactly what you want for precision fittings.  Maybe with small jobs, it isn't a problem.  I'll chat with the lab rats and see what they think.

Just wondering if any old EB covers had been made?  I also came across this as an option!!

I have finally made some progress... Should have something to show in a week (or so).
