Share your prints

[Dr Stan]

Almost 10 years ago I heard about a project that involved the US Navy & Boeing. They were going to put 3D printers on some of the larger ships (aircraft carriers I think) along with STL files that covered some of the more frequently needed items that could be made from plastic. I remember as a MR (Machinery Repairman) or machinist in the civilian world making a lot of things out of brass and/or aluminum that would have been better made from plastic especially things exposed to salt water.
