Xzin's 3D Printing Side Business (Beta)

[Xzin]

Every industry has its own software. CAD is different than artistic which is different than medical, etc.

Meshlab and Blender are good open source, free applications but they aren't as powerful as, say, Solidworks for CAD work.

Really depends on what you want to do really.

I want a fleshlight, xzin editon!

(god that was comming now wasnt it?)

Looks like a very cool expensive piece of machinery zin, hope you have lots of fortune (and fun) with it

[Drizzit]

how much would this go for about?


Could you do a voltron model? Be cool if the pieces could connect.

That Ony (without wings) was 3.76" by 1.81" by 1.29" and would cost $74.44.

You can voltron parts together as long as the geometry fits together.

Awesome looking stuff.

Is this final material rubbery or harder like plastic?

Rats. That would mean creating your own Warhammer 40,000 army not worth it.

This material I am using right now is rigid plastic but I can also use rubbery material, ranging from very soft to bendable but reasonably stiff.

It would be if you were to make more than one - e.g. make a mold and copy it dozens of times then sell those.

[Stabface]

If you wanted to cast miniatures... what temperature would the rubbery plastics stand up to? I believe there are lead-free casting alloys that melt in the 400-500F range...

[Xzin]

The parts off this machine would start to deform at around 130 or 140F and probably melt at 200F+

You could always cast in silicone though then cast 500F stuff in that.
