Unlike appearance prototypes produced in weak materials, Dimension parts built in ABS or ABS Plus (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) have been used for functional and field tests - from wind tunnel testing to camera mounts on a M2 Bradley tank and a spray gun running at 60 psi.
For use with your BST 768, SST 768, BST 1200, or SST 1200.
DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU OWN A BST 1200 ES, SST 1200 ES, OR ELITE. IF YOU OWN ONE OF THESE MACHINES PURCHASE P430 MATERIAL.
