3d Printers

Any of my fellow brethren have a printer themselves? I'm about to pull the trigger on one, just wanted to see if I was going to be the lone wolf here with one

 

Our company has a $30k one. Runs in front of my desk when it's in use. As long as we buy the filament we can make whatever we want.

 

Dang, must be nice.

 

I got 2 of them at work they are great. Been thinking about looking for a desktop one that is a bit more budget minded. Preferably use ABS.

 

I have a desktop one which I enjoy having and works great. Sometimes it's a pain to level the bed but other than that it's awesome.

 

do you use them a lot? I'm just hoping it won't be one of those things I think i'll use and imagine a bunch of things to make with it but once I get it I never use it.

nice, what kind?

 

It's a Flashforge Creator Pro, basically a Makerbot Replicator 2x clone

 

I use them all the time for prototype models. Made a few personal parts with them like center caps and measuring tools

 

There's one of those on my local CL that was a demo model. Cool!

 

I just bought a Delta clone from AliExpress. It is due to be delivered in about two weeks. (250$ with heated bed and multi plastic controller/effector)
I'll see how good it is soon.

(note: It is a Delta, not an i3. The link name does not match the item they are selling)
