3D Printing/Design evening 20th Nov

[Lewin 10]

Jet Cubed are hosting an event on the 20th November 19:00 to 21:30 in their workshop (in Works 57, S8 0ZF), aimed at designing for 3D printing. Loads of people have heard about 3D printing, but have you seen them working or the kinds of things that can be made with them?

 

If you have something you'd like made and want some tips on how to make your CAD printable, or need to be introduced to some basic CAD packages to get you started, come along!

 

Should be good for those that just want to know more about what the technology is and what is/isn't possible at the moment.

Is this a free event?

Hi Peakma,

 

The event is free to attend, however prints will be charged for to cover materials costs and machine wear+tear.

 

Hope to see you there,

Hey Greg, how did the event go? Sorry we couldnt make it. We have just launched a new 100% recycled filament brand called fila-cycle.

Hi Scott,

 

It went well thanks, even had some journalism students filming the event for one of their projects.

 

Good luck with the recycled filament, that's a really exciting area for future use. How consistent are you finding the results at this stage? (that's what has been putting us off getting any to date)

Hi Greg,

 

Very consistent, we have the material of to a T as they say. Requires resolutions of 200 Microns, speeds off 20mm/s, other small tweaks, but very good.

 

I can't display images here but I have lots of examples.

 

Our latest batch, which is the one we have commercialised (and from here on out will use) produced some fantastic objects.

 

I have just finished printing the MK9 (Wanaho extruder feeder mechanism). It has 100% recycled parts, yes, that includes a new bearing I designed to replace the existing metal bearing and the spring, imagine 100% recycled plastic! I have been testing it and it seems to do the trick!

 

If you want to place an order please feel free to come direct to me, I think you have my email. Bigger orders bigger discount.

 

Drop me a line and we can start talking projects if you are interested.

 

Take care

 

Scott
