I have similar experiences. In the case of the OP, it seems that the person found value in being able to simply print a new part whenever needed. With a fiberglass part you need to store the mold somewhere safe. Composites are a great way to build parts (I build lightweight parts for race cars), but they are not as convenient as 3D printed parts.
- robbrown451 10y agoNot sure what you mean about storing the mold. I just do the fiberglass and resin directly on the broken part to repair things (after cutting away some of the plastic). It's sort of like gluing it, but when you need more strength. Would he really need to print more parts? I mean, it could break again, but this seems like a one-off fix.
- asimuvPR 10y agoI assumed you were replicating a part by making a mold. :)
