yes currently a member of WWCC is working on his 3d printer designed torpedo cannon and once that is up and running he plans to then tackle the rotating guns
I think this was already answered in the thread on Facebook where you asked this. It doesn't look like he'll be selling because of liability concerns.
A significant concern. My wife (the lawyer) was not thrilled with the idea of my printing guns for all and sundry, either. Pumps and gearboxes, okay, but nothing that contains a lot of energy that could explode
It should do most everything you need. I was skeptical at first but they've actually produced them. Impressive, and a good price for an ABS-capable printer, too boot.
I guess I'm simple minded how would you program the printer , to make a part that isn't in its existing memory . Say u did want to build the turret how would you program it . I need you to sells pitch me lol. I like it but I'm not understanding the concept of creating a product on it that you are creating.
You either buy a CAD program, or use Sketchup, which is free and pretty good. You open the program on your computer and draw what you want to print. You save that file as a .stl file, and then open the program that runs your printer (also free). You load the stl file into your printer's program, it thinks for a bit, then you hit print. It warms up the printer and when the printer is ready, it starts making what you drew. That is a very simplified view of the process and doesn't account for learning what things print well, what things don't, and how to get the printer to give you good results. There are some books on it that are very helpful, and a great number of blogs and how-tos online.
