[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1116932, member: 20946"] Curious about a couple things. You said, "I've got a 3 D printer." I'm thinking you have access to one at the shop? Or do you own it? Which brings up my next question, how much are those rascals? When I first heard about them years ago, they cost a fortune. Next: what material did you print it with? What's it made out of? How strong is it? How much does it cost to make something like this once you have the printer all ready? I spent some time in tool and die shops doing support work for both wire and "sinker" EDM machines. These printers were the next big thing back then, but I've not heard much about them since... I retired from tool and die shops due to the volatility of manufacturing in Florida. I grew tired of dealing with reduced hours and being laid off and decided to jump to a different field.
