On Big Bang Theory they printed a whistle. A whistle has a ball in it. Could you actually print a whistle with a ball in it?

Yes, quite possible.Originally Posted by 250rAL
I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet, but the machine I use is compatible with dissolve-able filament. You use this material to support the ball , suspending it inside the hollow cavity. After the print is done, you soak it in a substance that dissolves the supports, leaving the ball free inside the cavity.

4 Wheels? Huh?
I don't think even the best 3d printer could achieve that....
Man have i really been away from the forums most of the summer? Glad to see winters return and more time to enjoy the computer and my hobbies. First snow storm of the season is rolling into the midwest, put the plow back on the 200ES Saturday and got everything ready to push snow again!
The 3d printer has been more then a hobby this summer, started designing and selling various stuff on eBay, not big bucks being made but hey every little bit to the fun budget helps. I just bought a second 3d printer, a CTC which is a chinese knockoff of the Replicator 1 Dual. Can't wait to have two of them running when i have one tied up on a 10+ hour print.

The Dremel printer is quite the gimmick... The Davinci is nearly the same. The biggest problem is its pretty much a PLA machine only, it doesn't have a heated build platform, and most guys that bought them spent a lot of time and effort improving the filament feed on them since its designed to take the special Dremel branded filament spools that sit inside the machine. Most that have them made an external feed so that larger unbranded, and significantly cheaper, spools of filament can be used!
I don't know what else to say about it other then its really gimmicky, like hey we sell one to, it doesn't do as much as a printer that costs half as much but its cool colors and it says Dremel on it!
You can grab a cheap CTC brand printer off eBay now days for under $500, sure they have their weird oddities because they are a cheap knockoff, but after having one for some time now, and rebuilding and repairing a few of them to resell, about the only major issue i ever had with them is really crappy wiring problems that can be solved in an afternoon of tweaking. 3d printing has become more then a hobby for me, its literally paying its way here. I sell a lot of little odds and ends stuff that people are looking for, custom design little parts and pieces, and i think i keep my local post office in business with the bins full of packages going out every day!
Its been great to make a little money on the side to enjoy other hobbies with. And every time something breaks around the house i can print a replacement! LOL... I always see youtube videos talking about whether someone is using their printer for a practical application or just printing widgets from thingiverse, i definitely print the practical applications. Just the other day i made a case for a cheap little digital audio player with built in headphone amp that i got, its getting good reviews in the audiophile community, Xduoo X2, i just wanted to get rid of that darn iTunes once and for all, but nobody had a case for it. So i designed and printed a case and made a belt clip for it, now it comes with me all day while i'm out doing landscaping jobs.
Change the world for sure!

Always finding new and exciting ways to not give a hoot in hell
Catch me if you can
The thing that has stopped me from really getting into these so far is the modeling aspect and making the build files - how easy is to actually design something like a phone case like you mentioned you made?
