That uses melted PVC to make prototype parts for our engineering department.

I've always had a problem with my PLX wideband's screen "washing" in the sun. You just can't see **** when the suns shining on the screen.

So, I got an idea. I thought it'd be super cool to use that machine to make a little hood for the wideband, so it would be shaded from the sun.

Anyways, here's the pictures. Im sure the design will change a bit. I plan on revising it due to a few things I just don't like. (it could fit better)

Works like a champ

Sorry about the shitty cam/phone pics. It's all i have right now.

 

cool idea

 

looks nice!! now paint it black!!

 

Paint comes after the final design

 

 

sweet little fab

 

yeah, simple idea.

cool

 

polish the top and paint the inside black

 

It's plastic, so I can't polish the top.

Painting it black is on the list..... Just finalizing the design.

 

Thats awesome, even my PLX R-500 is hard to see in the sun.

 

I can probably make one for you ..... I'll see if the boss will allow me to use it for personal work.

I would just need measurments, and a basic scetch of what you'd want.

I'll look in to it

 

nice! now patent it and market it before I do!

 

expletive thats what my m300 needs

 

 

cool, must be nice, and yes, paint it black

 

If there is enough interest in these, they may be made for sale.

I'll be speaking with the boss sometime this week.

 

rapid prototyping machines are generally intended to be used for just that, prototyping..

 

Its a a no-go on making a bunch of them.....

We're too busy to produce them. Hell, even my revision of the hood is a month or two out.

 

ya know you could make alot of money if you created parts on the weekends. I know lots of guys that do that. I wish I had that kind of equipment to use.

Guy at the porsche club made so many poarts for me. I think I paid for one of his kids semester at college
