Ordered a New 3D Printer

[mgssamn]

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 prusa's now. I have never have had a problem. I seen on youtube when I was looking into this where folks for a year printing 24/7 without having issues. not sure that is true- but on the internet. lol Seriously though, they seem to last if you take care of them and I think easy/fairly inexpensive to fix as well.

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

Yeah I’ve heard it’s crazy priced

You know one nice part of having a 3d printer, is that when you break a piece on a project, you can always print a stronger one to replace it. Doing that now with a filament winder, designed by a non English speaker. He does his assembly videos with printed instructions and pantomime as to how to do it. Works surprisingly well.

First attempt at a multicolor print, just a paint of the frogs eyes in the slicer. Man alive do multicolors take a long time to print with all the filament changes. Tiny little frog.

Latest effort, still have to print the Lunar Module that goes inside the third stage, but otherwise done. Now I have to figure out what to do with it.
