This stuff is fantastic. I've been RepRap-lurking for some months now and it's amazing stuff. I'd read a bit about PLA but it's great to see actual pieces of it. Where do you get it? The only source I've seen (at least here in the US) is a place that sells plastic forks and knives and plates.Will Warehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00852978068817644702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-35498895062672182132008-02-10T12:50:14.309Z2008-02-10T12:50:14.309ZUtterly brilliant Vik...Adrian Bowyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17595509188999219420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-56036859843155466482008-02-10T08:23:23.439Z2008-02-10T08:23:23.439ZThis is so impressive.

I can't remember exactly and the machine is kinda occupied printing the carriage now. These large objects use a truckload of memory to print out!<BR/><BR/>PLA certainly seems to form well. It'll be interestign to see how it performs. It's much more rigid than CAPA but I know it will fracture with repeated stress. With our design, this may not be a big issue as not too many of our bits should flex.<BR/><BR/>Vik :v)Vik Olliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574212494833831824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-72534063860181118632008-02-09T23:27:58.568Z2008-02-09T23:27:58.568ZHow many hours did that one take to print?Forrest Higgshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208965471464716174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-53139727875853228112008-02-09T23:27:40.802Z2008-02-09T23:27:40.802ZWow!
