What I see is an inexpensive and quick method to create new prototypes that can be used to make a plug for a mold, then pour hard plastics as I have been doing for a while now.

Very excited about this as I see the demand for wood plugs fading. The lifespan, costs, ruggedness, inconsistency and availability are making themselves a dinosaur. Just as the popularity of the inexpensive home work shop created all these in the 70's/80's, the new home workshop is being born and it is digital. Adapt or die.

Nice work. This is the early stages but trust me this will be as common as the home lathe in no time. New software for developing plugs will emerge, this will allow you to perfect them

I wonder what Arnold Spofford would think?
