Lathe for modders

[mister kil]

I though this would come in handy for anyone interested in making custom drip tips, body's or maybe making me a special cone cover that would slip over a 510 battery and atty sleekly to prevent juicefingers.

Make: Online : Tiny printable Dremel-powered lathe

Thanks, I want that... But even more, i want the printer that made it.

and such a deal!! only $20 grand for a 3D printer!! (OMG I WANT!!)

maybe check this out instead, 7" x 10" Precision Mini Lathe I have this and love it...

That's great, but I'm just going to use my 2d printer to print out specs for hole placement, heavy plexi for the stand pieces and my cheap as all get out fake dremel and table saw to cut out the pieces. I'll put plans up when I've completed my lathe

google traduction,(excuse me):
my dream, a reproduction of a large mill in miniature ..
is a piece of collection that costs 15000euros ...
Fun if not cheap, there is the Unimat Classic, this is not a toy
with little changes we make something beautiful wood and plastic,
except for a metal tower, take in the first big purchase, because to thread
properly, the tube must fit into the chuck,
with small round one is quickly reduced to the internal thread, if the tube is far from the mandrel, the threads will be less accurate and has thread inside a tube between points is not possible

hmmm... I want metal lath not one for wood. Luckily I have a freind with a shop that got and old lath awhile back I was so happy because I went to college to be a machinist, so maybe one day I can go play on it if I get a good enough idea for a PV

EDIT: That is a great idea Bidibulli

@Sci,
it's 3D machine injection?
the market opportunity is enormous for Lathes ....

The chuck capacity is only 5/8... not near enough for most PV projects.

Na...I'd stick with something I know can get the job done...if I had 160 grand that is.

I worked security at a tradeshow that was about c&c's, I could have made tons of things at once with just one 12x18 router. I wish I could remember this one companies name, they had one that would cut anything from wood to stainless steal for under $5000. A hard deal to beat knowing what kind of money could be made using it. You could make custom packaging that nicely held a e-cig uniformly and sleekly with all of it's componants, plus a 10ml bottle of liquid plus solar panel cover. Always could use several slots to charge batteries.

I would like to get one of these for the workshop one day....
