3D Printed Parts
 

Hey, have you guys ever checked out Shapeways? it's a website that allows people to design things, have them 3D printed in a variety of materials and offer them for sale. There are a few CC01 parts available as well as other RC stuff. A bit pricey, but pretty cool.

I 3d print things at school but the material we use isn't really strong enough for anything.

They seem to have a variety of polymers available, as well as some form of cement or ceramic. Looks like they can do full color. I need to think of something I need built, design it and have it made, just to see if its worthwhile.

I know this thread is really old but I have not seen in update so I figured I would shoot one... I had Shapeways 3D print my axle truss/servo mount for my TLT-1 axles.... works great and strong! It was only like 12 shipped

I know a lot of home units use abs plastic rod? IME abs is plenty strong. I've had friends order from shape ways (non rc related) and were pleased.
