3D printer

[Richard VE3OZW]

To let everyone know, a month ago I bought a 3D printer which can fabricate pretty much anything needed.  I am still learning and at the moment simply downloading files from the internet for builds.  It works for building brackets etc for antennas and I am currently building brackets for a VHF moxon antenna.  If anyone needs anything fabricated with a 3D printer, I may be able to help with my limited knowledge.

Richard, I need a compact CW straight key for portable operations. Could you make this one?

John, yes.  I assume that you just want the 3D printed items made for you and you will assemble etc.  I only have black, white and natural colours at the moment.  Let me know if you have a preference for colour.  I will print them up tomorrow morning.

Thank you Richard. Black is good, white is good, grey is good, dark green even better. I'm not too fond of the bright colours usually associated with 3D printing. There is a choice of knob apparently. I prefer the "navy knob" which is a raised domed knob with a "poker chip" skirt, but anything is preferable to the flat knob. I will source all the hardware that goes with it. It is very kind of you to offer to do this for club members. I will pay a reasonable price for the key.

Bobby,
I bought a Creality CR20S Pro.  It isn't fancy and is an entry level printer.  I had some learning curves and glitches at first but with an updated firmware and custom startup g-code, it is great now.  The nozzle is stock, so the finish is not super smooth however the output is good and functional.  I can print up that FT-817 power supply case for you.
