Look what I made today! I finally had some time to play around with my 3D printer.

I’m pretty excited. They came out much better than I expected. It took me a couple of hours to build the part in Autodesk Inventor, and another couple to print everything out. I used the Acetone method to smooth the piece, then three coats of flat black and a clearcoat to finish it off. I’ll have to resand and paint to get rid of the fingerprints but that acetone works a long time.

Here’s some pics:

Hope you enjoyed the post.
