Ordered a New 3D Printer

[Mr.Glock]

I have a buddy who does this. He makes some great things with it!

I have one. But no time to play with it.

Which one did you get?

Fedex has "found" the printer, it's sitting in Hutchins Texas. Now to see how long it will take to get here from there. I mean how hard is it to remember to scan a box that goes on a truck? You put it on the truck, it must be scanned.

I do believe Fedex has lied to me about the delivery date, hate it when that happens.

They learned that from Amazon.

We have a couple at work. One good sized one for large prints and 2 smaller ones. I haven’t had any reason to use them but we’ve been printing fixtures as well as positives for aluminum casting samples. If you really want to go nuts they have metal printers that require sintering after but are plenty strong and can have very complex geometries. I snagged a bottle opener sample made of 17-4 from one sales rep.

Its an Ultimaker S3

ALL Fedex employees in Hutchins tx should be FIRED and ran through a soap/sock line...

Yep, I lust after an SLS printer.

Any reason to buy one that expensive, I mean is it for business?
