There are now three open source 3D RepRap printers that have passed the "print a shot glass" milestone.
That's a standard British 25 ml short shot glass. I was halfway through my second shot before it occurred to me that it was 1000 in the morning, I'd had 3 hours sleep the previous night and hadn't made breakfast yet. I've been hammering getting the shot glass print done, you see.

Congratulations Forrest. You done good :)
ReplyDeleteSo, is this the first dishwasher-safe part, then?
ReplyDeleteHDPE does fairly well in a dishwasher, though the drying cycle can warp thin-walled objects. HPP is totally dishwasher safe. That comes next.
ReplyDeleteDishwasher safe or no, this shows we're definitely onto something. The fact that this has been accomplished with 3 differing machine designs bodes well for the concept of evolutionary development. Need I mention that certain expensive commercial machines can't make watertight containers?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Forrest!
Presumably I can use the images in presentations?
Vik :v)

ReplyDeleteHey buddy, whatever you see that you can use of mine, it's yours.
Your very good health, Forrest!

Cheers Forrest! Congratulations!!! I'll bet it tasted pretty sweet.
