I have had another go with the 3D printer, this time a copy of my old wooden chuck I used to use for drilling my pen blanks or for holding small pieces for turning
These are a lot lighter and pretty much as strong.

I will be printing a further enhancement of my version of the pen blank holder chuck I designed using Solidworks - hopefully over this coming week. If they are successful I will post them as well.

That's amazing Rowdy, I really, really want one of them 3d fancy printer thingymebobs:sob:

Incredibly useful and eventually within reach of "normal" people even if just for hire. Worries me somewhat as well however. No wonder they're increasing security at airports. Terrorists won't be making chucks!:nonono:
