Default 3D Prototype Printing

Playing around tonight building some Damper Spacers for a friends indy car team. Used my 3D printer to print these in ABS plastic. Hour in CAD, export as an STL (stereolithography) file, open in a Slicer program to slice the model into 25 printable thin layers, convert it to G Code to run the printer stepper motors and BAM, race car parts !!!!









15 cleaned and bagged and ready to deliver tomorrow !

Desktop technology access today is amazing ! Should come in handy on the 356G project
