Love the idea of 3D printing... The CAD side of it would be a great skill to have.

I just wanted to know if I could get some custom sized threads and diameters for parts. I was just going to hack the threads off, too pinch for the thread inserts to a wooden lid I was thinking of building.

The material held on spools, the printer's printable box area and resolution (ie .2mm) are the big three.

I was hoping to get a 2nd hand working frame and mount the Foucault tester on it at one stage. Depending on the stepper etc I thought I could get a reasonable PC controlled x,y,z axis movement for very little money.
