US OPERA
I was told today that a guy was attempting to make the feed screws by using a 3d printer. Not for the purist, but might get a few machines back to playing. Fingers crossed for the guys that have them and me for finding another one that's broken.

Re: US OPERA
Do you mean the actual feed screw itself? As in, the threaded shaft? I seriously doubt such a thing can be made on a 3D printer. Now, some of the carriage pieces may be possible.

As I understand it yes. These new 3D printers are amazing. Just Google it and there should be some info.JerryVan wrote:Do you mean the actual feed screw itself? As in, the threaded shaft? I seriously doubt such a thing can be made on a 3D printer. Now, some of the carriage pieces may be possible.

Re: US OPERA
Any recommendations for someone that does 3D printing? I have a few parts I would like to see about replicating
Thanks
Joe

There's a lot on the web. You just need to Google it like I did.

Why can't I embed the video? I did it just as the tutorial says?

Re: US OPERA
There was a post here a year or longer ago where a member shared how he used a 3d printing service to have a tonearm part replicated. Don't have time to search right now...

Hi Ronnie
Are you referring to Edison Home/Triumph feed screws? I would not think that a 3D printer is not articulate enough to produce the 100TPI buttress thread on an Edison feed screw.

I am talking about the US Opera feed screw. Nice talking to you today. BTW: I guess they did take the add down. I had put to auction on it.
