This isn't supported by people I've talked to who have owned prior Formlabs printers, though. In fact, I've walked into several R&D labs and seen Formlabs printers collecting dust because they couldn't get support or replacement parts. And when I can replace an entire printer 8 times with next-day shipping and it's still cheaper for significantly higher resolution and faster prints... again, what am I getting here? And I'm not asking as a hobbyist, I ran a 50 printer farm for a couple years.
- brookst 2y agoFormlabs may not deliver on the promise, but that absolutely is the promise. To consumers, a $4500 printer needs to “justify” its price compares to a $500 printer. To a larger company, a $500 printer from an offshore company that doesn’t even pretend to have field support is just a non-starter.
