Ordered a New 3D Printer

[dennishoddy]

Buddy and I were talking about these printers.
As fast as they run, how long do they last?
Lubrication schedules, or what?
You see them for sale all the time. Don't know if they are worn out or the person selling them lost interest?

I have an extendable pole chain saw. It has a pressed metal gear that will eat itself if you get the chain stuck in a tree limb. So far, I have managed to work around it but I may need a new gear. Would these new printers do this simple task or is the technology not there yet?

The best I could print with these type of machines would be carbon fiber impregnated nylon, that would not be as strong as the metal gear. That being said they are printing things like car parts (non metal) just fine.

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

Someone told me it was a good one. I had the money at the time and just jumped. Ive made a few items with it so far.

I’ve posted these before I think. These where done on a modified Ender 3 at extremely high speed so as not perfect if I run it slower.

My third print with it, I'd say it's coming along nicely.

My company actually has access to sell the Xerox Metal 3-d. It IS pricey…
