It works kinda like a hot glue gun, so the plastic would probably be too thin-unless of course it will stick and seal to itself. Yes I know the "3D Plastic" material is probably not an adhesive - this will create new challenges when I try to attach it to a weatherproof container. Yes I know that not every cache can be built by hand. If I can get the "plastic" (whichever works) that is the same thing used in 3D printing and melt/shape it myself, I have many cache ideas that would require no "computer 3D printer" to make. So I'm looking at less expensive ways to make some PLA objects by hand.
"Hot Glue" (regardless of the kind of "Hot Glue") quickly turns into a sticky goo outdoors. It would be like a "Hot Glue Gun", except that Hot Glue is absolutely unsuitable where I live. Is the "PLA" (Or ABS, your material here) material suitable for caches in the elements? If so, can I use the material itself? Do I need to buy a 3D machine just to mold some pieces of plastic? If I already have the ability to make my cache by hand, all I need is the plastic material and a way to melt/form it. Pros and cons of a variety of 3D printer materials: Here are a couple of articles that may apply.Ī review of the weathering of a "PLA" object: From what I've seen, there's a variety of materials they can use. I'm also trying to figure out if they've got a plastic which is durable under stress and whether you can put screws into it without it cracking. Please keep in mind the replicator 2x only has a build volume of 9.7 L x 6.0 W x 6.1 H in so if you want to make one bigger it will have to be a multi peice part which can easily be acetone welded together Edited Apby warweed Send me a messaging through my geocaching profile
I'm Looking For ALL kinds of containers preferably screw top kinds or locking kinds ect these are some i made recently In my area (Edmonton, Alberta) there aren't to many overly creative caches I mean don't get me wrong there are some ! that's for sure but not a lot so I would love tog give back to my local community by getting some help designing some new ones if anyone out there is keen on giving a hand I will gladly take your cad designs and turn them into caches and as a reward I will make one for you to ! the only thing i would ask is you paid for the shipping of course i would take some photos of the caches after then done printing and if you would like one 2 i will gladly send it Ok so i just got my replicator 2x 3d printer I'm very excited because i think it will be revolutionary to geocaching I'm not very well skilled in CAD design but I know a bunch of you out there are so I am looking for a bit of Help.
