does anyone have a 3D model of an MK Indy, without the bonet on so you can see the engine?
Just got a 3D printer at work ... Wooohoooo!!!
3D Printer? 
'kin wow they are.

They look impressive! I was wondering though, they seem like they do a similar job as an SLA machine (stereo lithography), except without a laser and
epoxy resin.
If you can find out from the machine you have, would mind telling me what the accuracy/repeatability of the parts that can be produced are? I had a
quick look at the website, but they don't mention accuracy.....
Cheers!

It works just like an inket printer, and the accuracy/repeatability is just the same. Its abit slow though, takes 4 hours to make something the size
of a computer mouse.
This one doesnt print colour though 
Imagine printing p0rn on that 
my mate aparantly used our rapid prototyping machine in uni to make an adjustable wrench IN ONE GO
I saw a Stereo Lith' machine at University making an exhaust manifold for a Rover. It was taken straight out and flow tested immediately. Very
impressive ! Saves 3 months of development time !

No cad image then?? DOH.. Looks like I'll have to make one myself, surly it cant be that hard???? 


I have got CAD of the chassis and bodywork of a locost (its on my website), but couldnt be arsed to draw the engine etc in, as its just too time
consuming to do properly.
