Was at Maker Faire today and saw a new (shown for the first time) 3D printer being shown off. For the $800 price the print quality is pretty amazing (imo)! The quality was good enough to print (without post processing) threaded lids that had a screw action that felt molded. These prints were some of the best I have seen from a machine this inexpensive. It is based off of RepRap and they say it will be open source when they start selling it, along with being expandable.
“they say it will be open source when they start selling it, along with being expandable” that’s what Printrbot said…
Wow, haven’t they learned that an X/Y plate is a terrible idea?
