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...

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
Printer will print perfect...
