So,I bought a 3D printer a couple weeks ago for some rapid prototyping work. I was fooling around with some new (to me) cad software and made a couple quick models.
Here are the original images I took the from.
A broken hatch pic. And an STL file I found on the web.

A few more. I need to clean them up and remove the structure support material.

That is awesome. How long does it take the printer to make something like that?

The boat was about 2.5 hrs and the placard was about 3 hrs. I have a couple 20+ hr prints that were larger and finer print detail. AR-15 Mags are about 8 hrs. Setup the printer, go to bed and wake up to a new part.
The elephant was a 4 piece assembly that printed all components already assembled. The legs move and the head nods up and down.
Legs are an axle assembly and the head is a socket joint.

How cool is that. Do the mags you made work ok in the AR?

Additive manufacturing is badass. That's all.

It should. I haven't finished building my AR yet, can't decide if I want to buy the 223 or 300 Blackout upper first. I'll probably just buy both. First World Problems
