FULL SIZE printed Motorhome… 0.001% complete
Just a few more parts!
When I saw marcsulf’s Drawer Rail Support for his motor home I couldn’t help think… “Wow, he could replace… EVERYTHING.”
Admittedly, it probably isn’t a very good idea to take an entire motor home and replace it little by little with MakerBotted plastic pieces. Then again, if it works for cupcakes, perhaps it would work for a motor home?

Hey Steve, glad you like them. As to your question of why it was pritned in 2 pieces, It simply came down to a matter of size. The Thing-O-Matic is limited to 120mm cubed. When I loaded the original design into the G-code generation program, It looked like it was going to be just a tad too big. Anyhow, glad you like it, I look forward to seeing some more videos.As to the strength of the material, the plastic used is ABS plastic which is the same stuff lego is made out of. This should give you a good idea of strength. The weakest link is the fact that it is extruded one line at a time, so it is not fully solid. If you are truly paranoid about strength (as I am with a $300 go pro flying 200ft+ above me) you can always reinforce it with CA or Epoxy.
