So i got me this ginormous 3D printer that prints 400x400x450mm and the first thing that came to my mind was... pizza!

After I ate the pizza, I thought maybe i could print patterns for a little benchtop sized cnc - something to be the next generation home build platform to take over form the g0704 / bf20 type machines, especially with the current machine prices being driven way up due to economic.. well, let's be blunt, stupidity.

Has anyone ever cast from prints? I was intending to use ABS as it seems to be cheap, durable, heat resistant and easy to glue up and bondo smooth. I'd like to hear from some people that have done printed patterns for any type of sand casting.
