<p>Great 3d printed shoes, btw. I invite you to post the design! Thanks! </p>

<p>A corded electric lawnmower is 150 USD. A motor and switch with cord is 50 USD. ABS plastic is 40 USD. You save 60 USD by 3d printing a lawn mower over buying one. </p>

<p>Hans, thanks for your contribution. I will design and post a variation of your lawnmower that is; <br></p><p>1. smaller and with a main body that is printed in 4 parts in ABS and glued together with acetone so that it can be made with any common 3d printer such as a Makerbot Replicator, Ultimaker, or Prusa I3.<br></p><p>2. Doesn't use a metal blade. it will use a nylon filament instead. My lawnmower will be 100 percent polymer with no metal, except for the motor.&nbsp; Motor will be of a common inexpensive model available almost anywhere for purchase.<br></p><p>3. battery or cord power. <br></p><p>Reasons; <br></p><p>1. A metal blade with loose wires a clumsy operator can accidentally run over makes me nervous. Not everyone is as skilled a lawnmower as you Hans. I don't think that the metal blade will kick up stones and kill you. There's the stone guard for that. Even a metal stone guard is not flawless. The stones can ricochet underneath the stone guard and deflect upwards to hit your face. That's what happened to my lawnmower man. Which brings us to the next big innovation....&nbsp;</p><p>Again, great invention, Hans! Very impressive! Great engineering is making something work that everyone previously thought was impossible such as the 3d printed gun, this lawnmower, and I'm currently working on a 3d printed bicycle printed on a common consumer 3d printer. <br></p><p>Automated robotic lawnmower similar to the Roomba! <br> </p>

<p>wdwms, please note that my instructions state it uses 2mm acrylic sheets. <br></p><p>joarb, you may print it out at any infill percentage you want, but here is my advice for all your 3d prints; <br></p><p>1. rough draft = 10% infill</p><p>2. has to look good or will be a mechanical non-weight supporting part = 20% infill</p><p>3. weight supporting part = 40% infill</p><p>4. weight supporting and mechanical part or part supporting a lot of weight = 80% fill</p><p>So, ask yourself if you'll be putting stuff on top of the hood (decorations, trophies, etc.) or will you leave it alone? I would print it out at 20% and not put anything on top of the 3d printer. You could even get away with just 10% fill if you print it out with 2 shells and try not to handle it too roughly. </p>

<p>I see a file for the pendant but not for the pictured ring. </p>

<p>A World's First! Cool!</p>
