Anyone have access to a 3d printer? (DAOTF Hidden blade)

I have a 3d model of a DAOTF hidden blade that I would love to get printed. it has 2 layers of the blade and both layers lock independantly forward and backward. Trouble is, I uploaded my model to shapeways and it's $210 each to have printed. So I figured I'd ask here. If someone wants one (or two) and would be willing to print me one (or two) as well, I'd give them the files. Kind of a last ditch effort here.

it's mechanically identical to this.

if anyone has any interest in making this happen, let me know.

Try RPF member. Roboto. Hes done some great parts for me.

I'm trying to find someone who would do it just to be able to have one for themselves at this point. If money was no factor I'd have them on order already. If time was no factor I wouldn't have made this thread.

Basically, I have the design, someone wants it and has access to the printer, they can have a set for themselves if they make a set for me.

Well good luck

thanks. I figured I'd post here and if I didn't get any hits, I'd just wait until I got the cash for a set for myself. I'd rather get it done now than later though. that's why I even bothered posting it.

PM me.

I have a Z Corporation Z400, that prints up to 8 x 10 x 11". I'd be happy to run the print for a token sum to help pay for materials. (And my materials are dirt cheap)

Heya, I haven't heard back from the first person who was taking on this task. He was having printer troubles and he kept me informed but that was weeks ago. Haven't heard a peep since. Send me a PM and we'll talk.

Hi Alex,

I realize this post is almost a year old but I was wondering if you still wanted this done? I have access to a Makerbot 3D printer that uses PLA plastic. If you want to send me an email with the file I would be happy to take a look at it to see if it could be printed. If you are not interested anymore, I was curious if I could have a look at your file anyway?

Thanks,
Rex

You can putty PLA. No worries. I do it all the time.

Anyone know what happened with this?
