Been interested in them but dont see much on printing costs --- End quote --- ENDLESS! Literally! This will be the single best or absolute worst purchase I've ever made. It'll go one of two ways. 1, I get lots of cool new ideas out to sell and it really helps me speed up my process, or 2, I spend EVERY day just modeling and printing cool shit! LOL! You want a printed 1x1x1 cube? I have no idea on price until I have the machine and tack a stab at it. It will be able to tell me how much material a part will require before I print, and then I can estimate cost. I'll probably have to ask again later, but are you looking for hollow or solid, and if hollow, what wall thickness? That'll make a HUGE difference in price. --- Quote from: Azarkhel on March 03, 2013, 02:37:23 AM ---I'm watching you Wig... --- End quote --- ;) Also, anyone waiting for PM replies, hang in there. I am absolutely, positively working at max capacity in every sense on top of having to swap my bedroom and studio space around this week. Sucks how just moving stuff 20 feet from one room to another can be such a huge ordeal. Ugh. |

I can think of two ways to make stuff with a 3D Printer. 1. Print parts, then paint them and/or do some light sanding, then sell them. 2. Use 3D Printed Stuff as a basis for making molds out of silicone or ceramic or whatever, then use the Molds to duplicate the item using a wide variety of resins, epoxys, and so on. |

^ would definitely cut cost to make molds |
