| 1386353 | 2014-10-16 01:02:00 | US$100 3D printer kit peachyprinterks.backerkit.com Now thats a tempting price. Someone could make a nice wee earner importing these into NZ. Theres still the issue of printed stuff coming out quite rough with consumer 3D printers, at least on the very few examples Ive seen from other machines I guess theres allways the issue of tolerance of the machines moving parts & the actual molten plastic moving very slightly as its extracted from the printhead ?? |

| 1386354 | 2014-10-16 05:32:00 | You can get some excellent print quality but not at that price yet. I have seen some awesome quality but you have to remember these printers work by building up layers so the outside is never going to be super smooth, if you dip the object in acetone it will smooth it out (not too long though). If you want perfectly smooth prints then your only option still is a resin printer. I've actually owned and built about 4 different types of these printers and sold a fair few to friends, but I gave up in the end as I had no practical use for them, sold my last one an original Mendel last year. |
