3d printed parts

[need4art]

Hi All, The metal parts can be done as easily as ABS with the right machines-like the one I am waiting for them to get in now. The de-lamination problem that was spoken of before has basically been eliminated by the better machines, though there are $200 machines out there that might still have that problem. As soon as that machine comes in I will look at producing both a metal and hybrid system for the 10-50 machine.

I have never seen (yes I know) the gutta... part that you are talking about and what does that material do in the making of the part.

Once a file, and we would need to have the part to do that with a laser unit that takes it measurements, is made it becomes a matter of finding out if the material that you are looking for exits for them to use to create the item. Most common plastics and metals including titanium are available to them but the material is set up to be used by a 3-D printer. Not all materials are.

If you have what you are trying toi get made shot me a picture and i will see what they can do.

Fiber gears might be an option, depending on how durable the plastic filament is and whether they would stand up to normal wear...

I need a fibre gear for an Excelda phono specifically and would think this would be a small (hopefully easy) part to start with.

As far as reproducers are concerned, how about printing the gutta percha reproducers - Columbia, Pathé, etc., since it's almost impossible to find an original if you need one.

rarity is a problem because we do need an original example to scan
so if there are ones among you who have broken but complete examples of said reproducers I would appreciate it if you could send it over for us to experiment with
if everything works out fine then reproducer parts like these can go on sale for about 20 euro's

I 3d printed a Pathé cylinder reproducer. Works and sounds great.

Wow that sounds like a project, how long did take? post some pictures I would love to see it. I was just talking to someone with a 3d printer about how the parts are made .

The print took about four hours. I will get some pictures when I can. A friend gave me the print files for a Pathé and Puck reproducer. I am thinking of maybe starting a business selling and making these! Making the stylus is the hardest part. I seen a forum about using a ballpoint pen tip for a stylus and it apparently works great with no damage to the cylinder (in fact they said that there was less wear on the cylinder due to the spinning ball on the pen).

That’s great , both those reproducers are hard to find. I’d love to see how the puck reproducer comes out, I’d be interested in trying one on my puck Lyre phonographs. Good luck if you start the business
