glad to help! Ive used both vendors in the past, wih good success, tho not on boat projects.
I look forward to your 3d printing experiments!
I assume youve got access to a large format 3d printer and HDPE filament...
I've been mucking about with recycling HDPE to make small block connectors, to attach to plywood frames.
Difficult to melt consistently and reform. Kinda fun if it works, just for the "I did it" factor.
Gotta thank you, I've had a fine coffee break time researching all the bits to do large format printing and recycled filament production! Cant wait to see your progress!
