This is a bit too good to believe, but at $100 i'll bite. I've been into 3d printing for years now, and my main concern is material. If this resin is durable, and doesn't get soft in the car on a warm day, this design could be really groundbreaking. If not, it'll be a waste of everyone's time. The quality looks pretty decent given how awful low end 3d printers can be without a ton of tinkering. My current printer cost me about 2K and ABS/PLA at $40ish/kg actually adds up when prototyping. I'd love to have something really cheap like this to test out prints before finalizing them in ABS.
- jlgreco 13y agoIt looks like the resin they are using is "Makerjuice" (http://makerjuice.com/ http://makerjuice.com/). I don't know anything about that resin though.
- reustle 13y ago$40 for one liter of red, that doesn't seem too bad.
- rorrr2 13y ago$40/liter for small prints $45/liter for large Not cheap if you want to print anything larg-ish.
- Groxx 13y agoEh, only if you make the large-ish thing solid - this can easily make hollow / drain-able structures. And since it's partially supported by the liquid as it's built, you don't need as much temporary supporting structure as an extruded plastic version.
- jonhohle 13y agoIn this case, the suspension is some with salt water, which would provide very little support.
- jlgreco 13y agoThe resin is buoyant in salt water; is the cured resin? So long as the liquid resin floats on salt water, I don't see why salt water should provide less support than liquid resin.
