I'm guessing it is not an additive process so i have no idea so it may be sintering or something.

dead board let's blog

I recently got the chance to use a 3D printer for the first time the other day when a friend loaned me his to see if I could get it working again. (I did.) It's a TAZ Lulzbot 3 and it's incredible to me how many parts of it are printed, and how close they are to the heating elements.
I haven't yet used up the single spool of PLA it came with, during my few days of printing mostly trinkets.
Right now I'm working on replicating these:

using this:
https://tinkercad.com/things/2zLpRaIJUt8-cable-wrap-gear-copied/
I tweaked that guy's model a little because I only have PLA which is much more brittle than the nylon that the official ones are supposed to be made out of.
Got a few hours left before the first ones are done and I can revise and reprint.

What are you all up to?
