Anyone doing ABS, 3d printing?
Hi,
I want to make ABS wheel covers for my 18", after market wheels. The pizza pan covers are OK but the plastic tie-wraps are a pain. Based on the Tesla Cyber Truck covers, I believe 3d printed, ABS covers could be easily removed and installed for tire changes. They would also cover the five lug nut holes. But as expected, finding an ABS compatible, 3d printer with an 18" (460 mm) x 18" (460) bed with z-axis 5" (130 mm) has become a product identification problem. Ones easily large enough, are often too large and in the $4,000 range. Another approach would be to print segments and assemble them into a finished cover. With seven segments, each cover would entail pastic welding seven edges. Just I've not done any ABS, plastic welding. Thoughts? UPDATE: Found a 450 mm x 450 mm x 470 mm, ABS compatible, 3d printer for an excellent price, $1,000. I can build the core with either two or three outer ring segments. Bob Wilson |
I now someone in my area that can do ABS printing .. but no printer big enough to do it but I see you may have got there. Keep us posted if it works out.

Else one might be able to just use an arduino controoler and hand edit the G-code. |
