- moron4hire 11y agoI would say you are very lucky. I used to work out of a hackerspace and got to see a lot of traffic come through with 3D printers. We also had several of our own. The only ones that worked reliably were the ones built and operated by a guy who was doing a PhD, studying the use of 3D printers in medicine. That was RepRaps, MakerBots, PrintrBots, UltiMakers, etc.
- marcosdumay 11y agoIt took me a week to build my reprap from parts (not kit) imported from China. It took me about a week to get it to print reliably, and it took about a year to get it to print reliably with different filaments, in varying weather, for long periods and without supervision. It's not the "you won't get anything done on the first year", but it's also not the "just a week of tinkering" either.
