| 1435067 | 2017-05-09 10:56:00 | which 3d printer do you guys use | Plover (17546) | ||
| 1435068 | 2017-05-09 19:28:00 | Well I used to own a Mendel and have built about 10 Prusas. I no longer have one as I found I couldn't actually make anything that was useful to me. Unless you are into product development or prototyping then I wouldn't bother. |

Unless you are into product development or prototyping then I wouldn't bother. Never thought of monetising (bigthink.com) 3D printing somehow? Creativity - may be needed but be easy for some? |

| 1435070 | 2017-05-09 23:21:00 | I was selling the printers. But as I said what you can actually make isn't very useful and is more expensive than just buying on Aliexpress | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1435071 | 2017-05-10 02:20:00 | But as I said what you can actually make isn't very useful and is more expensive than just buying on Aliexpress Thats what put me off buying one. I was really keen, but could only think of just 2 things to print . Then , add all the time in learning how to assemble , setup , config & debug. Would be fun, but a huge spare time hog . I even looked on websites for recommended things to print, but nothing worthwhile . |

You weren't particularly useful for the first few years, but your mother persisted, and look at you now, a taxpayer fully entitled at any time to be derided and exploited by the government. ;) |

Theres only so much use for horrid printed plastic cups, plastic squares & plastic animals . :) plastic printed tools , no thank you . I'd love a 3D printer, as well as a lathe, milling machine, welder etc . I simply dont have any good use for any of them, apart from tinkering & time wasting. |
