3D printed part needed

[OBR]

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.

Where are you?

[OBR]

Hi,

I'm in Somerset

[Mjolinor]

Too far

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

[OBR]

Thank you.

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

[Mjolinor]

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.

[OBR]

Ok, thanks anyway.

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.
