That's a pretty cool project. It's amazing that 3d printing has in a very short time moved from single object print jobs to multi part moving mechanical pieces like that lock box and things are strong enough for that key not to break on the first use. I'm impressed with 3d printed levers with integral springs.

Thanks for sharing this!

Have been thinking of printing that safe lock if I can get over to the hackerspace sometime.

What I want to see in person are the metal 3D printers. Oh, the evil lock fun we could have with one of those babies.

Had not seen the video, so thank you for that, DLL.

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

Gordon, I've ordered a brass printed key. Here's the site I used https://i.materialise.com/3d-printing-m ... echnology3
They print a clay object and then cast a brass model. Dunno if there are printers that can directly print metal.

Cheers

There are 3D printers that can print in brass, and others that can print iron. They use a laser to melt the metal powder in the correct places.

the metal printers are neat, one of the down sides of them is that the metal dust is so fine that you need a SCBA just to service the things

Great videos..... 3D printing is the way to go.

Very fascinating indeed. Enjoying this thread. Still trying to hard to wrap my head around how it's working

[GWiens2001]

How the lock is working or how the 3D printing works?

I have a ring I designed that was printed in stainless by Shapeways.com.

[GWiens2001]

That would be cool to see!

I can't upload a pic at the moment, but check the Shapeways.com site. They have an app where you can input the ring size and then apply a design (bas relief or intaglio) and they'll make it out of a variety of materials.
