There is a bronze filament which looks a lot like antique brass and has the weight and feel of metal.

Yes! Finally, somebody has put this idea into action. You are the man Tais I'm thinking this would be great for flywheels like oh the ones for Fasco state and worlds fairs and any other NLA flywheel Brilliant.

another successful 3D printed canopy, first fully successful canopy without any errors! it took roughly 3 hours of 3D printing

Wow that is amazing. Is it as durable as the original canopy?

The plastic is more rigid, it could be more durable, i hope it doesnt yellow

Great job Tais, I'm looking forward to seeing your fans fitted with new canopies.

some more! managed to make a 70s SMC canopy with the logo, not perfectly made, the logo looks a bit blurry, thats due to smoothing and removing the unnecessary blobs next is relite (airmaster)canopy, these are apparently a real pain to make lol.. the printer is not good at making flat surfaces as it needs support and when i go for support, it always fails.. i tried printing them in 2 parts, one part went well, but the other part ended up getting warped while printing.. i didnt get a fully successful relite canopy yet.. trying out other methods until i master ut all the successful and semi successful canopies made so far

They all look pretty good! Once they're on the ceiling,, any imperfections are going to be far less noticeable..

I did not know you got a 3D printer Tais. Wow nicely done on the 3D printed canopies!

3D printers are very very expensive... I'd love one but can't afford it on my own!
