John,
Ordinarily I would do just that. However, the nephew is getting the
printer and I'd like to learn how to use it. And there are some
advantages to the printer. For example, I ca make a couple of "ears" on
the side with mounting holes and make a horizontal or vertical socket.
However, I'm going to order some of this polymorph, I can see where it
is handy for many things.
Luckily, as far as 6 goes, the nephew is buying the printer and he is
expected to bring the libations for during and after assembly of the
printer!
Jonathan
1] Get some pin sockets, scrounged as you describe above
2] Get cylinder from old adhesive tape tube
3] Put pin sockets on tube pins, to suit tube available
4] Centre/center tube and pins within cylinder (depending on whether you follow
proper English or Noah Webster's artificial dialect of the aforementioned
language)
4] Melt polymorph in cup of hot water and squidge it into the cylinder, around
the pins - squidge is a technical term (ignore it for now, you don't need to
know)
5] Pop the socket out of the cylinder when the polymorph has solidified
6] Buy much alcohol with the money you have saved from not buying a 3D printer,
pour and enjoy the time you saved not making a 3D model
Job done,
John S
