Louis Luu Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 There is also another technique I've been utilizing into tricking the server computer to think I'm making one single item to cut down on the cost. I scaffold it and this cuts down the cost tremendously...for example. When connected close enough, the price is dramatically reduce. After print, all I do is cut it off and file a bit.

No.....those are the original ones. I will model after them. It should not take me more than a week...two at most due to my work schedule. I'm still rendering the wall mount bracket. Should be ready top post some results before midnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
