PHPaul Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Is it within the intent of this site to discuss 3D printers? If so, which forum would be appropriate? I'm toying with the idea, but not sure I want to take on the learning curve. Also, I suspect the total outlay when you consider the printer, materials, 3D CAD software and all the other little gotcha stuff may be beyond my means.

PHPaul Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Skimmed through those topics and did a little Ewe Toob surfing and came to the conclusion that it's too much time, effort and money for too little reward at my stage of modeling. Kind of figured that from the get-go, but wanted to confirm it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice. 3d printing isn't possible without 3d printable files and about the only way to get most of what you want is to create them yourself. Cost really isn't an issue. Blender is free, but there is a learning curve requiring lots of time. Phrozen's new mini sonic printer is less than $300 and will give you high quality prints in half the time and up to 3 times the life of the lcd panel of other printers in its price range. Plus, it's a Phrozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
