Anyone have a 3D printer?

Post by 360gts »

Bit of a strange request!
Have looked everywhere...cannot find replacement feet for this chair.
Need a favor from someone with a 3D printer. Will pay all expenses etc.
Need two small feet made to fit in a Captains chair for my Toy hauler....can supply a good one as a template.
TIA

Hey Dermott,

I’ve used this company for one off prototype printing and they were great.

Here is a picture of the quality. I used the laser sintering process and the parts were very sturdy. They have lots of different materials you can choose from as well.

I’ve got a hobby 3D printer that prints PET G. Not sure if that will be suitable for the longevity needed for chair feet as it may need something like shown above that’s harder and stronger but willing to give it a go if you want.

I’m in the midlands.

Regards
Dave
