Who has a 3D printer? Wiggy..
marioxb:
Trying to find a plastic belt buckle to go on my leather belt. Metal detector at wotk requires us to remove belt about 4 or more times a day. Can't stand it. Can't find a plastic buckle anywhere. All I can find is ones that look like backpack straps. I just want a regular leather belt with a plastic buckle instead of metal. The only other idea I have is a 3D printer.
How much would someone charge me to print a plastic belt buckle?
wiggy:
We have two at the shop actually, and a laser cutter (which is prolly better suited to what you're after. Stronger parts. Printed parts are sorta weak sauce).
If you've got a cad file, then I'm sure I can get it done. We haven't been running them all that much lately.
marioxb:
Cool. Thanks! I don't know how to make a CAD file or have any art skills, but I'll see if I can find one.
Mick Dundee:
If I had any 3d design capabilities my Nintendo Power OoT Link would have a replacement Master Sword
Also.
Mr. Marioxb, have you checked Shapeways?
