The weather yesterday was good enough for me to enjoy my old Grasshopper outside. The old Hopper was hopping around with poor traction of some high lift tires in the rear. Then BAM! I hit a curb at the right angle and broke the right front upright/knuckle and ripped the camber link mount out of the chassis. I when crashed, I first thought the AMPRO 3d printed control arm broke, but the nylon 3d printed parts held up just fine. That's impressive and that was not a light crash. Thankfully with some spare parts and long screws the old Grasshopper was back in action within minutes. So anyway, since buying 3d printed stuff from Shapeways is not an option as of now and I don't want to pay another outfit because they might have a minimum order limit, I think I might get myself a 3d printer. I know it's not going to be the same process, but I could at least make stuff at home and also maybe design some stuff and experiment. I might be shopping at MicroCenter, so suggestions for something small is appreciated.
