Put on today & it's purring like a Japanese Kitten

as good as any ABS plastic, I wouldnt suggest putting in direct sunshine if your not going to paint it or chrome it.

I would say 85% the strength of a moulded part, and one of the strongest materials out of all prototype media.

Most prototype machines have a work area of approx 12 x 12 x 12 inches but the joins are almost invisible and the joins are stronger than the part as I usually put in dowel points for alignment & strength and adhesive is used. I have made a paint mask for the International Lonestar model's hood that's pretty damn big all from CAD data. I have also done front fascia's of cars, the Hummer tool box, phoenix engine block as seen in previous pictures, done picadilly rails forearms for assault rifles,inventions, wind turbines for wind tunnel test, 3d art, medical prototypes etc....the list goes on.

Dont think it would be to great for a gas tank as there might be microscopic voids in the plastic that might make the tank sweat fuel in time.

^^^^^^^^^

Some people probably had bad xperience with ROckauto but I havent & I ahve purchased everything from them brake parts, gasket sets, plugs etc.. My only complaint is the freight is a killer , but of course I'm in Canada and the Igloo express only comes by once a month..lol

Rockauto.com I seen them there.

Well if you don't have a CAD model I would need the broken part. The machines need clean 3D data to make a part.

Yeah I have made parts for my dishwasher, fridge, garage door, wife's craft stuff (OH GOD). In my business I have made a lot of inventions for people from concept design to working prototype. Made all kinds of automotive parts did a whole front fascia of a Honda b4. Made many fixture nests for Automotive parts instead of machining it. I also have a 3D scanner.

The machines use ABS only, what kind of properties were you looking for ? UHMW has a self lube quality as well as self heeling unfortunately no ptototypes machines use that. Most use PC , ABS

well I have to get one , rather have a new one.

Actually I have my own lic's of Solidworks & have designed for 20yrs using different CAD systems ie: Catia, Ideas, UGNX, Inventor, mechanical desktop, Cimlinc and a few 3D machining packages like Worknc etc...

It is a 5 speed it's stiil siting on jacks & hasnt been in gear while running.

Got most of my stuff there pretty good prices.

A few 1:1's I made for a robotic washer study.

I have already taken her all apart & cleaned I probably going to opt for a new one and hopefully Shawn's got one.

Yep...actually any CAD format I have a Delcam translator.

I have 3 ABS prototype machines and I am a master of reverse Engineering, if you have a broken part or an idea I can design it up in Solidworks and make a new part cheap for forum members.

thansk, yeah I figured so, anyone know where to order one on the cheap side?

So my Impreza is finally running, but when I plug my OBD2 in & clear the error, start the car up again runs fantastic then the error pops up again after about 20 sec of running then it runs like poop. I have adjusted the throttle cable and took off the throttle body and cleaned it up good using cleaner (looks new). Any Ideas?

K thanks did that rpm came down but now I get a P1507 cel and rpm is lower but ramps up & down .

I have a 2000 Impeza wagon (Brighton) hope I can help you if you need it)

They are the best, I'm sure without these guys my Subie would be in the bone yard! With support from the guys/gals here and a mean set of tools yur gold. ( a Chiltons manual wouldnt hurt)
