Ive got an item I'm trying to have made and the shop with the cheapest quote wants me to make a couple minor changes to make it easier for them to make. I'd like to duplicate their suggestions and have a couple prototypes 3d printed before I commit to having some machined.
I have no idea how to modify the file and I'm looking for someone to help me out - cash, a thank you card, heartfelt gratitude are all on the table. |

I'm looking for someone who's good at creating designs to create/modify a project for me. I'm looking for a more realistic looking U2 Dragon Lady. I've found a couple examples online but only one of them has the BLOS Pod on top of the fuselage, and the main wing intersection with the underwing pods looks odd. I do have a printer, but I'm just learning, so I'm not an expert on it. This will be given to a fellow co-worker who used to work on the U2 some time ago, that's why I'm looking for something a bit more realistic if possible.
Examples I've found: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2429276/files https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4330785 |

Another CAD request, to add to my existing open request on this thread regarding a BETA Co. drum mag feed tower:
Anyone have a file for a Colt 607-style moderator, like this clone in the EE? Wanted to use one on my .22LR 607 3DP upper in-progress. |

Anyone wanna print me a flange?
Here's my idea: I got an Inline Fabrication case kicker for my single stage press to speed up decapping brass. However, you have to stop every so often to empty the Akro bin it discharges into. If I were to cut a 2 1/2" hole in the bottom of that bin, and I had a flange about 4" X 3 1/2", about 1/8" thick, with a 2 1/2" OD tube hanging down an inch or so, I could gently clamp some 2 1/2" ID vacuum collection hose to it and drop all that brass right into a bucket. Anyone picking up what I'm putting down? |

There is no want ads for paid services here. Rat.
I've having a terrible time finding a case for my shotgun chokes, they're extra long/extended. I also have salvo chokes that aren't like anything else. I can provide measurements but would like a printed case for 8 long chokes and one for 6 salvo chokes should be able to securely close, have a little room for neoprene foam. Also would like to make a light mount for a scuba FFM. |

The number of printers that can pull that off cleanly vs. not really narrows down potential order fillers. and it's probably a half a roll of filament by the time you consider an acceptable purge, so you're talking $10-15 in filament if it prints clean the first try. Not saying nobody will do it, but I can understand why nobody has raised their hand yet. I'm happy to try a 0.6 but I'm not sure what PLA colors I have on hand.

I'm a fan of Magpul's battery storage cores. And if I'm going to have a VFG on my rifle then I'd like to be able to use the same 2x CR123 storage core I use in the pistol grip.
Can someone design an MLOK VFG that fits Magpuls battery storage cores? |

I just hate for someone use up a bunch of material and get nothing in return but I understand why that is a rule. I was afraid it would be too big for most beds. Anything smaller would look goofy for the space I have. I could probably lay out the angles and radii if someone thinks it could be done on their printer and wants to take a crack at it. I haven't played with 3d printed stuff a whole lot, what are the chances it could be made in two pieces and I could glue it together with decent seams? Maybe printed with a motise and tenon type connection just to get it lined up? |

View Quote I'd imagine cost for one. People dont realize what effort something takes. For instance your request may be several hours of CAD work. Thats several hundred dollars just in design work before the prep/slice time, etc. Custom work for starters is extremely expensive and doing it for voluteer allows people to help out with no expectation of perfect products. I don't really see much middle ground here. |

The CAD skills and print requirements limit you to only a few people here that I know of, and it will take many hours of CAD to get to a final product. If I were given this job and charged my normal rates, you would be looking at about $1k to get to the first full testing prototype, plus revisions. |
