I am reminded of the cornucopia machines described in Charlie Stross' Singularity Sky - a trunk you carry around that can, by several levels of indirection, recreate an industrial civilisation.
Reading up on current entry-level 3D printers with huge user groups sharing performance and accuracy improvements that can be effected by users developing new parts via that same printer, has echos of the same phenomenon.
- skybrian 5y agoWhile there is a lot of tinkering, it’s not clear what this adds up to since accuracy seems inherent in the technology used? > Most FDM/FFF (that is, filament based) printers are capable of approximately the same tolerances and print appearance, as the biggest limiting factor is in the nature of extruded plastic. Asking if a machine has "good prints," or saying "I don't expect the best quality for $xxx" isn't actually relevant for the most part with regards to these machines. Should you need additional detail and higher tolerances, you may want to explore SLA, DLP, and other photoresin options, as those do offer an increase in overall quality.
