Stick Build

[regme]

Hi

 

I'm going to embank on a stick build project and my search for plastic I Beams and Universal Columns have have yielded and few products from Evergreen, Kit Kraft and Plastruct.  However this seems like an expensive way to go. 

 

Has anyone made their own structural members, I also thought about 3D printing a few and casting the rest.  Or is this a lost cause and I should just save up and buy the "off the shelf" ones instead.

 

Cheers

Hi, you could try Dorspring models, they do a range of abs tubes, I beam etc all much cheaper than Evergreen etc. you need hard plastic glue to fix this stuff.

Scratch building is never a lost cause as there are so many materials you can use, just takes a bit of searching !
