hi guys! its been a while since i last made a thread here, some of u guys r already following my posts on facebook and youtube i've recently acquired a 3D printer (Makerbot replicator 2X) for making fan parts as well as other stuff, i've had lots of failed attempts especially with canopies but i was able to make a terminal support for indian made industrials and a semi successful union upper canopy   notice the crumbly area, due to design error     hopefully I will be able to make more fan parts that cant be found anywhere |

For blades and blade irons using sheets is more efficient

I'm thinking this would be great for flywheels like oh the ones for Fasco state and worlds fairs and any other NLA flywheel

No, its made of ABS plastic, same plastic that is used in lego blocks The type of plastic used is special, and is made from a by-product of corn sugars instead of oil, so is therefore more eco-friendly than normal plastic. Some types of filament are more rubbery and flexible in nature. |

Thats PLA u r talking about, i dont think ABS is manufactured that way, but i chose it over PLA due to its characteristics and it wouldnt react with water by time
