Re: Rear feet for 475

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I cannot answer any questions on the manufacturing, direct output, etc.

?

I can however attest that what is received is indeed strong enough to stand the scope on (don¡¯t know if a 7834 is heavier than the original application). ?In addition (and most important for me) the fins receive the cord as it wraps around very well. Also releases well when needed, etc. ?I am not sure what resist well question is but they work exactly as I hoped they would in all applications I have used them in. They are not inelastic but as well not to elastic. I suppose they could be made to fail but it would take something well outside normal use to do so.

?

Hopefully answers a bit and is helpful

They look good. Is this the direct output of the printer or is there an intermediate step to getting the final part?

I remember that stereolithography output was far too fragile to use directly so it was used to make a mold.

Do the 3D parts resist well? Can you stand the scope on end?
