Ran prints all day yesterday and overnight, too. 3D printing is now done for the main pieces of the SlingBot prototype. In the picture, you can see two wheel struts and the main center motor and wheel mount piece.

Each of the 3 pieces took 3-7 hours to print. (Yes, 3D printing on my machine is just like using the replicator machines on Star Trek, except instead of waiting a few seconds, you wait for most of the day. And you can only print in variants of plastic. And sometimes the print fails. So really it is nothing like Star Trek.)

Now we just have to do some cleanup work with a file to clean out the remaining support material and make sure the struts fit easily into the center piece and then we can mount the motor and wheels and test it.
