Looking pretty sweet. So putting pla through a glue gun? Could you elaborate more on this if you have success?And just like that the SAW is fully assembled. Now to try a new process involving some PLA and a glue gun in order to hide the seams.

It's just so amazing how fast a 3D printer spits out a prop..........I need to get one!!!!
ok I might have read that wrong lol but hey glue guns are pretty cheap...... and maybe worth the sacrifice. I might have to experiment with this. Or maybe I’ll just look into a cheap 3d print pen. Heard of others using these to weld seams.no.....no, no,no, no, no, no................PLA through a glue gun will destroy the gun.............PLA and a glue gun........though I don't see how that combo works......
I may look into this too looks promising. Only thing is the pics you posted duke looked like the process was quite messy lolBucs37DK have you heard of Weld On#4? It's relatively cheap and you can melt PLA down and then paint it on to hide seams. It will dry into the print as one solid piece very quickly. Apart from that it is also a great way to glue the prop together.
Man I go away and then there is a ton of cross talk about techniques, brings a tear to your eye . Yea I know we are shooting a little with this glue stick idea but hey why not try something new. Always have the standbys. Definitely may try that other technique too Duke!
No kidding hahLesson learned today, we need finer nozzles for our glue guns.
Amazon does have some fine tipped hi temp hot glue guns on there... .... and they’re pretty cheap I may end up donating one to the cause here at some pointSo how do we go about getting or creating a gun with a finer nozzle? It will have to be something that can be taken out of a store bought unit and replaced with a new one. It would allow for a more detailed glueing
