Embedding metal parts into plastic 3D print
Is it possible to embed metal parts into a 3d print? I would like to embed an aluminium profile (like this one) into my 3D design. Does someone have any experience with that?
The metal has much higher melting point than ABS so in theory that should work. The idea is to print it whole in 2 steps - first put the metal on the printing desk before starting to print, then start to print and "pot" the plastic over it to complete the underside of the design, then turn the object upside down and "pot" it from the top to that the metal part gets embedded into the plastic...
