I'm looking into easy fixture solutions and was thinking about 3D printed fixtures. Would that be possible. I'm wondering if I could make some fixture arms, or even some standoffs, or if needed some complex fixtures. That being said, what filament would work well for both precision and accuracy as well as durability. PLA and ABS look like good candidates. Or am I wasting my time?
I've was printing basic stuff with my own printers at home for my last job. My CAD skills aren't the greatest. I did have an engineer draw some fixtures for me that worked out pretty well. Up until now I haven't done anything for my new job, but in a few weeks I'll be moving from sheet metal to machining. Hopefully I'll be able to do more.
And I agree with
Kp61dude! , Atomic Filament is the best!!
