very clever approach! Yes, I'm interested, so keep us posted.

That's a nice looking bass!

And thanks for the heads-up about ONSHAPE.COM.. I didn't know about it.

On the surface, it seems logical that libraries should have 3D printers. But what my sister-in-law (a librarian) has discovered with the 3D printer in their library is that they've had to discourage people from tying up the machine with production projects so students can use them for learning.

The time required to print just about anything exceeds the library's operating hours. Librarians get complaints if the school kids want to use it, but there's a job in process.

I say all that because I want to hear about your experience with using a library's 3d printer.
