Can I get then link

Can I order off this site? How much? Can I use 3 d taco electronics with it?

You need to download the 3D part files from here ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:363690 )

then upload those files to the Shapeways website, ( https://www.shapeways.com )

I'm going to reuse the circuit board from the Taco gimbal.

Ok thanks

How does the weight compare to the original taco printed parts 96vette?

I'm looking for alternatives myself as the originals melted on a hot day.

I'm not that far along yet, but I'll weigh it when I get it together

Can I take the plans to a local 3d printer?

I don't see why not

 

[Gino1]

Thanks. I wasn't sure if the plans are for free.

How much does shapeways charge? Local guy wants $210 for PLA plastic...thats crazy

Shapeways was $191 but I ordered all of the parts, some of which I probably won't use, like the basecam case $16.30, filtering attachment $5.90, bodyplate $23.83, so if you subtract those you can save another $46.03

I would really like to see pictures of the parts from Shapeways, once you receive them!

A solidoodle 4 3D printer (which was used to develop the MotorPixie on) is $599.- something worth considering? The MotorPixie design is still evolving, your next print would be MUCH cheaper

I love the way the motor pixie design looks but $200 is way too much for plastic

Plastic is $43 pr. kg in the US, the most recent MotorPixie weighs in at about 200g. That includes screws, electronics and 2x35g brushless motors... To sum up, you don't pay (anything) for the MotorPixie design, you pay for Shapeways to make it. The cost of plastic is about $4.

I have everything right now except the enclosure. I'll shoot some photos but I think they came out great.

 

[Gino1]

I would love to try it out if I could find a 3 d printer tthat costs less than $100

 

[96vette]

Here's a few photos, sorry about the poor lighting

Looks really nice! Could you tell me what the individual parts weigh? The were created and balanced for ABS so I would like to know how big the difference is

yes, I'll weigh it this evening and post the results

@dk darkness. Did you create the 3d file?
