Not the filament itself, the extrusion width. It's something that you specify in the slicer, and can vary by a bit, between hard bounds specified by the nozzle diameter of the print head. Also, consider how much of that $22,000 is "make it look pretty". They are already trying to do everything they can to make money off the thing, i.e. expensive filament and disposable build plates.
- brudgers 12y agoIf a part effectively takes a calendar day to print, the build plate increases the odds of an acceptable prototype 0.1%, and net revenue on the completed project will be $5001 per day, then a $5 build plate pays for itself in a properly capitalized design development cycle. And that's only the case if other features of the system don't add any value that could offset the cost of the plate and the additional day of design labor and overhead is ignored. All of which is to propose the possibility that there might be business cases where the machine makes sense and the possibility that everyone besides we two obvious geniuses might not be incompetent.
