Title: Built my first call...sort of
Post by: Jbird22 on March 27, 2015, 03:31:31 PM
Well, had a slow day at work today so decided to fool around with my new 3D printer. I used SolidWorks to design a tube call with dimensions just from memory. Here's what I came up with. It surprised the heck out of me for a little bit of plastic and some latex from a rubber glove. UPDATED - Posted pics of the 2nd print.

Sounds good Jason, when are you going to start taking orders? I want a lanyard groove and an o'ring groove to hold the latex in place. I can supply the o'rings.
