3D printing
#1

I just got my self a kit for one of these gizmos, It's taken a while but I finished it the other day and it seems to work nicely
I've been a CAD user at work for quite some time so I thought it might be fun to have a machine that can make some bits and pieces

Here's a look at a CAD model for a Rocket airframe I drew up a while back.

Smuzz Kindly gave me a few rocket engines last year and I thought I'd better build an airframe to try some of them out.

Here's the first attempt Hopefully it will fly OK

Careful, that's a slippery slope Wink

Joking aside, I am fascinated. Is that a SeeMeCNC Orion Delta 3D?

Hey Andre, It's a Rostock MAX V2 from see me CNC
here's a link

http://seemecnc.com/products/rostock-max-complete-kit

It's a bit bigger than the Orion delta with a build area of 8" X 14.75"

It seems to be a decent bit of kit, it works well out of the box and it's pretty upgradeable

I'd like to print some helical herring bone gears for a reduction drive on a 120 size IC engine, that will test the technology Smile


As for the missile Man Crikey !!

That's Bruce from RC model reviews !!

I'm starting to think he might be a bit of a media whore

I have learnt a fair bit from watching his RC model reviews tho', an interesting and prolific producer.

I do like some of his insights, He's an annoyingly fascinating and slightly more than just a little eccentric kind of character

But seriously it's pretty obvious that it can be done and certainly possible on a $5K USD parts budget.
I'm not saying that anyone could do it but there are certainly plenty who could.
WHAT I FIND HARD TO FATHOM IS THAT THE MEDIA AND VARIOUS GOVERNEMENTS ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BE SUPRISED BY THIS!!!
I'm betting it's more a matter of when and where rather than if the inevitable happens.

Any way this printed airframe is definitely not a cruse missile, it's a model rocket.

Hi Jason. Have you ever thought of printing out 3-D quad copter?, Will use a couple of video link showing some of the quad copters that have been printed out on 3-D printer.

Kind regards, Bob.

HobbyKing. I have a 0.5kg roll of black 1.75mm ABS filament here, still sealed in its vacuum bag, which I can bring to the field if that is compatible with your rig and of any assistance.
