I don't think this will sell. You can use a cheap printer to print wax in a better resolution. And this printer also needs post processing just as the lost wax

- davidHartkop 13y agoprinting in wax works great, but then you have to do lost wax: 1.attach sprues, 2.invest inplaster cast, 3. wax burn-out in kiln(which you still need), 4. centrifuge cast (with torch & crucible) 5. cast removal, 6. sprue removal (with saw, file) 7. fine clean-up (with dentist tools, fine files) 8. Surface finish. With metal clay, you print, clean up like clay greenware, fire, and polish. equipment: printer, kiln, polishing misc.
