Topic: 3d printing - wireframe. Great idea!

http://www.3ders.org/articles/20140917- … yping.html

Let's you actually rip off a quick scale wireframe model of your design to check size and feel before committing to the hours of regular printing.  What a great idea!

Very Cool! Makes the Z axis speed very important the way it prints and having no clutter around the hot end to allow for repeatedly plunging z-depth for every triangle printed on each level.

I can see it being used for finished objects as well. It would be perfect for printing a structure which you then wrap in paper mache or clay, or fiberglass and epoxy (though I'm not sure how the epoxy woutd interact with ABS).
