3D Printing Adventure Continued... Snake Roll Stopper

[18111]

Snake roll stopper printed in raw brass at Shapeways. It came out pretty good! I'm happy with the result. Limited to the thin fabric pocket but function as a clip as well.

Very nice, 18111. You are doing some very interesting innovations with your pens. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Cool! Have you printed any pens yet?

[richardandtracy]

Oh yes: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/288141-the-3d-printing-adventure-continue/

 

It is... very unusual and quite a breakthrough.

I like the idea of a stopper. As much as clips are needed on most pens I would prefer a clipless pen with a stopper. Will you be experimenting with other shapes for stoppers?

That is stunning, I did't realise they had printers that used metal. Was it a one off or did you have a quantity made? What does something like that cost, I can imagine the cost is quite high.

Here is a previous one. https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/286822-3d-printed-frog-roll-stopper/

I'll continue experiment with other possibilities. It's too fun to quit it now.

This printing process is actuary a lost wax casting. It printed in wax first then casted in traditional way. Although there are available direct printing in metal, the quality is not good.

Thank you it's a bit clearer now. The frog is also a beauty.

That is a very nice piece of work. Thanks for continuing to push the envelope; just wish I had something like that to experiment with. Smile. Bravo.

Thank you for the kind comment. But, you've got a quite nice equipment that I don't have, so you can have the different kind of experiment with that machine. I only have wood lathe.
