Here I'm 3D printing a chess piece. This is one of the first prints with my home-built RepRap 3D printer. It came out pretty good. Here it is in a picture alongside a pawn:

  • how long did it take?

  • @hebbent This part took about 30 minutes when I printed it. If I would print it again my printer can now do it probably in under 10 minutes.

  • @hebbent The first one was around 1988 :)

    Computer controlled plotters existed for a while at that time and so did glue guns. Around 1988 Mr. Scott Crump combined the two. There were other laser + liquid polymer techniques tried before that.

    I just want to help a new wave of technology improve our lives and unleash creativity and reduce pollution from expensive logistics. You need more than a few geniuses for this to happen.
