LWC + 3D Printing

Trying again to combine Lost Wax Casting and 3D printing. I am working on a new system where I print master wax models with a 3D FDM (filament type) printer. One of the filaments I am testing first is actually real casting wax. Stay tuned here and I'll report how the effort progresses. As of this posting, it will be Late July 2020 before I am operational.

Update: Print2Cast wax filament does work! Unfortunately my new Cetus heated bed printer I intended to use with the filament is not working properly. The heated print surface will not control the temperature. It just comes on and gets super hot!

Working on getting that fixed. I said, "... working by late July." above, but it may be another month before I get good to great results.
