i'm interested in getting a 3d printer to make mould plugs, but i want to see how the moulds come out before spending a few hundered quid on a printer so i'm after something printing to test.

can anyone recommend anyone or a small business that can help with a basic print for me?

i do need to try and design the file yet, but its a pretty simply thing, more or less an extruded version of a logo, and depending on price i can try just one small shape roughly 60x80x25 or 4 the same at that size joined together so i can make a tray mould.

thanks

If you have a cad file you happy with and you able to create a .stl file I have used these a few times.

they literally just print the file

they show you people who are able to print near you as well if you looking local

hope it helps

How much of a rush are you in? I can probably print something off for you, for a reasonable sum but got next weekend away and would have to fit it in around family and the mounting list of jobs at home!

When are you expecting to have a design sorted? And what format will it be? I'll need an STL file to convert to gcode for printing.

First things first, give me a few more details on here and we can go from there.

Thanks guys, but in the end I took a different approach and bought a printer. A chap locally was selling a davinci jr very cheap and for what I need it’s ideal.
