@DrFrankensteam It is made of PLA (poly lactic acid) which is a bio polymer and is compostable. But it also can be used for lost investment casting because it evaporates completely and leaves no residue in the mold when heated enough.
@Sublimekustoms Thanks for the information, once again, nice work. I'd maybe make the bed a little more heavy duty but other than that its really great.
Nice job. I like it when people think outside the box. It may not be able to do much, but it is a proof of concept. I just got my first metal lathe (Grizzly 7x12 which is nice) and already want a bigger one. I would love to have one of those reprap printers.
To the haters: of course it's not going to be a working lathe. I don't imagine teh first generation lathes were terribly good, either, but those lathes were built upon to create better ones.
It's hardly helpful to rib someone for trying, is it?
Yes, but it does exactly what it is supposed to. Maybe not what you want, but I did not make it for YOU. People who expect more than is realistic are ALWAYS let down. Its a plastic lathe printed on a RepRap that makes it possible for someone without access to a lathe to build yet a better piece of machinery without the dependence of someone who has what they need. I don't know why people bitch and complain about something that only improves the lives of those without.
can allways take the parts, use them to make molds though. then some machining.... and then would have an all metal one

Nice lathe! What's it made of? You perhaps could use that as a form to cast a metal one. Once again excellent work

@jaytank31 Perfect, No. But almost no extra work either.

people bitch and complain simply because they do not have the capacity to learn to do it themselves. It's called jealousy.
