With this printer, The UPS Store locations will be equipped to produce items like engineering parts, functional prototypes, acting props, architectural models, fixtures for cameras, lights and cables.

Subaru cars older than 7 years have such a problem - wear of the wiper trapezium ball joint at the motor. The joint for Subaru is not sold separately - only a trapezoid or traction assembly, and this is expensive. No, not like that - EXPENSIVE! I was looking for a model for a long time. I tried to make a copy (downloaded from Tingy). A copy of the native hinge worked for only 2 months. I found a hinge model in the form of two crackers and a nut on top of them - it broke along the thread, which is no wonder - the wall due to the thread is very thin in the most loaded place.

Hello again dear friends!

Not so long ago, a customer approached me with a desire to create a helmet, and in the future, an astronaut suit to draw attention to his recently opened puffy Pyshka "Pyshka-Vyshka" St. Petersburg

Together we went through a lot of options on the Internet, it was important for us to make not an exact copy of the mascot helmet, but something interesting and eye-catching.
