Anyone got a 3D printer they could run a prototype part I need for my turbo car? Have STL or STEP files from Fusion360.
I just want to check the fit before I spend money on CNC machining. It's a small 1"x1"x2" piece. I'm also starting to think about investing in one of these. Any recommendations on the latest printers out there? Attached image(s)

We have MakerBots and Stratasys. Come on guys two different technologies and systems for 3D parts. And two different cost spectrums. We are now looking at DaVinci's to replace the Makers. Specifically the Pro model with the 3D scanning and laser engraving systems. Right sized for classroom usage, with the capacity to teach all the different concepts. Also other company's can print using SLS technology
I have my eye on Desktop Metal Studio System, @ over a hundred grand for the system and Then just under 50K for the rights to use it it is very expensive right now. 30+ alloys and your printing in metal, makes it worth to keep on my radar. |

No idea on the MakerBots or DaVinci's, but I know with the Stratasys repairs can be very costly. Many parts they will not sell unless you have a maintenance agreement and pay to have their service engineers work on the machines, luckily some of the parts have the original manufactures part numbers on them. I had to replace 4 of the build chamber fans, I was able to source replacements for about 20% of what Stratasys wanted. They do some sweet prints and I'll never be able to achieve the same results on my lowly Prusa i3 clone at home. |
