the 3d printed half panel. 3. make 2 copies from this mold using the final epoxy resin, then join them to make the final product: a 30cm x 37 cm panel. 4. Use that joined panel to create the first of hopefully many molds which can be scaled up at ease. I will keep you posted.
I wrote an e-mail this morning. The idea never died, I just went quiet on it until I was certain I had something that will survive a snow plow. I am now certain. Stay tuned. Lets see if they're too arrogant to even open it.
Once I have the 3d print btw, there are a few steps before I will have a finished full panel to show everyone. 1. I will have to smooth some areas before making a mold, I am hoping wet clay will do the trick, as it only needs to be temporary. 2. make a 2 piece silicone mold from
Took my latest reflective traffic calmer prototype in to a local university today to go over it with a professor, and the small modifications I'd like to have in the 3D printed version. Went really well. Even going to have our little logo embossed on it.
