PLA but it can run ABS through too.

Good to know.

Do you mean there are metal screws that go into the PLA or screws actually made of PLA? If the former and if I was any good at Autodesk yet I'd rework the design with a recess for a nut to go into.

How long did Hulk take?

Can anybody recommend a good 3D printing service, where you send a design file and money and they post you your printed thing back?

I quite fancy making myself a little Retropie handheld console, but even the designs that use ready-made Game Boy shells seem to rely on 3D printed structures that go inside (unless they're one-offs that cram everything in the case and then squirt a pint of hot-melt glue in).

3dhubs.com is where I got mine done.

Did it come pre-scuffed?

Edit: I'm looking at the wrong bit, aren't I?

Might have to ask Mark for paddle prints as mines going to be tied up with my Simuloid for some time.

You can apparently make parts stronger by annealing them in an oven, but depending on the shape it might also ruin them and I have no idea if it actually works: https://rigid.ink/blogs/news/how-to-ann ... r-strength Some of the more exotic filaments need more exotic printers, though. But post a link to the parts you got if you can and I'll have a look. I've got a roll of ABS at home. Also Hulk SMASH!

Wow, that's awesome! I don't actually need anything done at the moment, but I'll let you know if that changes in the future. I'm not sure how long the screw threads will last made out of PLA...

Had my first nose at 3D Printing stuff. I was after a replacement battery compartment cover for a Neo Geo Pocket Color, and rather than trying to find an original one, I wondered if it was possible to get them printed, and sure enough, someone had created a design for one. Picked about the cheapest option on there (wasn't fussy about the colour and materials used) and for $8.12 including shipping, I'm all sorted - Attachment: IMG_20180801_104655746.jpg
