I wish the photos weren't so craptastic, but my friend rob made a plastic combination lock on a high-end 3D printer. While the resolution is certainly a lot tighter than MakerBot, it still is easy to tell it was printed in layers. Even the high-end rapid prototypers do this.
- steveklabnik 17y agoHave you seen a V-Flash print up close? You really have to be looking to see the layers. That goes for stuff like Z Corp, too. And you're not even going to be able to see the 10 micron resolution on an Object machine.
- steveklabnik 17y agoWow. I meant "Objet," by the way. Apparently, I can't type it. When I wrote that first sentence, I thought it through, and slowly typed "Object."
