Casting an impeller from a 3d print
Hi all,
I'm wondering if with Moldlay filiment I'd be able to print and cast this...

From http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13188
I'm new to printing (and this fourm), so is it possible to print this with a wax like filament, and then cast it using lost-wax method?
Can I cast it with normal (hollow) pla?
If it works great, if not why? Also, I have access to the Ultimaker 2 plus and the Makerbot (2?) through my school.
The reason to be metal is because its going to spin at 6000-9000 rpm, so I don't want it to disintegrate and destroy the casing (I have limited prints AND it would be cool ) Don't worry about safety, It'll be shrouded in steel.
Thanks all,
James
