I found this helpful, and learned a few things.

Now I need to print some of those objects to learn even more.



They make a nice sturdy looking printer reprap.org/wiki/3drag


one thing I want to try is printing on adhesive paper sheets for inkjets
they mentioned using for PLA, which may be worth a try, but what I really wonder is if Nylon filament will stick to it?
I am thinking of getting some of this...

I thought you swore on hair spray???

I've printed that Air plane, worked ok but very fragile.

That printer is the same one that Jameco sells

I do think hairspray on glass is the best yet for ABS & PLA
but I am always willing to test new ideas.

that's a really good price for kit at Jameco... $800 for a metal framed printer with 7.87" x 7.87" x 7.87" build volume.
