3D Printers / Printing

Recommended Posts

Hey all,


I can see this was a bit of a thread last year with [mention]Via[/mention], but wondering if there's people about who are keen to try or already have a set up. :D


We've got a couple at work that are fun to test out little bits with, but they're meant for slightly bigger tasks that I'm aiming for.


I want to be able to print things that are about the size and detail of a Games Workshop figurine; so pretty small scale.


Curious what you forum peeps have found when you looked into printers,

what did you buy in the end,

what kind of thing are you working on / printing

any tips, tricks or general advice?

3D printing is a fantastic tool for prototype work. Create your solid model, print it from cheap material to assess fit form and function, then after design approval (if you need it) use the same solid model after any modifications for production use. IE make from proper spec material and machine on multi axis machine tools.
