3D printing enthusiasts

any 3D printer folks out there?

got myself an SLA (pegasus touch) n been having tons of fun lol... wondering if there are other folks out there that enjoys 3D printing as a hobby

Nice, how much was that? What are you making mostly, toys?

1/2 of the Irvine population will finally find satisfaction by printing Qwerty. Just to let all of you know I hold the right to the 3D scanned file.

was arnd 3k... resins about a hundred bucks per liter...

took some evening classes on 3D printing at IVC, mostly printed parts for a architectural model... but since class ended, right now ive been printing some toys for my nephew to get a feel of the printer/resins ability to handle draft... now im gonna try to print a lamp so i can use it as a pattern for investment casting... if that goes well then that opens the door to a few other possibilities...

UR RIGHTS MEAN NOTHING! i shall draw my own qwerty (n maybe his dog too) and post it on grabcad and thingiverse for ALL to share! LOL

So I can ask fluffy to make some TI action figures?

First request:

qwerchismo and his 2-headed radioactive lime green dog

hmmm by now we need an upgrade... how about i draw a 2-headed radioactive lime green dog that transforms INTO A QWERTY! that would actually be kinda awesome...

Saw the local Home Depot had this:

Interesting, but not ready to get one just yet.

ITS A TRAP!!

lol... dont buy from these mass retailers... u can get better resolution machines for a lot cheaper else where...

right now, even these mass retailer ones (dremel from homedepot, makerbots from staples) still require a lot of tender loving care + troubleshooting when things go wrong... i actually dont like how the mass retailers are doing exactly because of this... they almost market it as simple as pushing a button n u get a 3D print which isnt true... the reality is that there is quite a bit of pre-processing + troubleshooting when prints go wrong mid-way + post processing...
