    3D printed part needed

    Hi All,

    I need to print a 3D model of a test piece which will then be used in our tensile test machine.

    I work at a college and we have just bought a Robo 3D R1 printer which I had planned to print a test piece, calculate the material properties and then use this for some assignments.

    The Robo is waiting for some parts so I was hoping somebody could print me a test price so I can do the test before Easter.

    Obviously I'm happy to pay for this service, please let me know if you are interested and I'll send over a CAD file.

    I'm in the UK, so I guess it would be better to use somebody here to keep postage costs down if possible.

    I don't want to do it but would have let you come and do it on mine.

    Thank you.

    If I covered your costs would you be able to post it to me?

    No, I don't have the time or the inclination to do it really.

    I think it is something you need to do because if you don't print it you cannot hypothesise the failure mechanism.

    I'll give it a go.
    Bit further south than MJ
    Although still north of you.

    Drop me a pm and email the file over and I'll see how printable it is.

    I knew you would pick it up when I declined.

    Thanks, I've had somebody offer who is currently having a go at it. If he doesn't come back to me I'll come back to you.
