Wow you printed a keyboard and a desk.  Impressive

Cool. PLA or ABS?

ABS. I recently discovered that it can print with HIPS since it has two extruders. The HIPS can be used for the support structures and then dissolved away with acetone. That little Mooney would not survive the surgery to de-structure it 

Anyway, the comments from you guys were kinder than the snickers I got from the undergrads. The grad students knew better.

Never heard of HIPS. My son tried dissolvable filament but never had good luck with it.  We have a flash forge dual extruder.

High Impact PolyStyrene. It's good stuff, in a bunch of colors. Not sure if the translucent colors are printable or not, but they sure mold nicely.

You gotta share the file!

Harley,

Spleecho was asking about your 3D print file?

Best regards,

It should be on my machine at school...I'll have to look the next time I am out there...semi-retired...so many projects, so little time.

MOONEY 3D Print File

Pretty sure I got it from here.

Don't dissolve HIPS with acetone, or your ABS model will go with it. I believe the recommended chemical is Limonene.
