My 3D printer

Nice, can I ask what you use it for?

Sure, I used it mostly for design prototypes (form study, dimensions, etc…) Sometimes for design scaled mock ups, molds(rtv) cases, and very rarely figurines

I don’t have much luck printing complex designs (limited for single extruder-fdm) I use ssys printing service locally (and very expensive) powder printer/sls for very complex designs needing spesifics, unfortunately I don’t have access to an objet printer, I’d like to try out their digital abs

I’ve just been looking at that kit! :slight_smile: how are you finding it? Very intruiged by the price alone as one of these goes for as low as GBP £130 so just for the main printer parts alone it’s extremely cheap!

I am pretty satisfied with the printed results, needs some more work to get it run butter smooth (as in bent leadscrew, holes mismatch, the mechanics) though meine does comes with an ftdi chip that’s been considered as ‘counterfeit’ by win7, but an easy workaround, newer ones might be better (doesn’t use melzi board) I’d say go for it! I was taking my chances but turn out pretty good
