Great info, thanks for posting wolfmarsh. Are you using ABS or PLA? The reason I'm asking is that I'm curious if PLA is clear enough that it could be used with a 3D pen to repair broken ramps. Of course adhesion would be the other issue.
Also, any experience with 3D scanners?
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I have a spool of crystal clear on the way, should be here in the next couple of days. It's for testing lighting with swinks's shooter lanes. What material are ramps normally made out of?
To the best of my knowledge ramps are acrylic. Let me know how the clear looks, the ABS clear just won't cut it.
I'm in on the Flux 3D printer/scanner and am planning on purchasing a 3D pen, so that gives me a couple of options. Scan a broken ramp and make a new piece or use the pen to recreate the piece. The latter would obviously have more broad appeal, but I also want to try out the first option.
