I'm collecting parts for a Trident. It will take awhile to gather them and get through the PIF que.

Couldn't resist and ordered some linear guide rails for the Y axis.

goatman said:that part that would take 6d9hrs
by switching to 80%infill and 80mm/s
did it in 2d9hrs
looking at lasers on Amazon 15w 450nm blue
will that cut through 0.1mm copper?

Or an ExONe.
Forget about that "Creality" style printer. I want an X1 25Pro.
A sintering Lumex Advance25. Thats what I'm talking about. A TRAK A2v4. An Evo 22T Airwolf.
Ya know.. real 3d printers. Not that.. Amazon fodder. I can dream, right?
I'll probally end up with the " Used, parts or repair" printer. Lol. From eBay.
I know those ^^ printers that which I mentioned.. would require a large mortgage certainly.

Yeah, your perspective changes an awful lot when you've got a handle on the process and it's easy to see how something big enough to print a small boat or pumping out lines of concrete to print houses makes sense. A long axis would come in very useful here, half a meter or so in one direction would have saved me a lot of time and it would take very little to modify a cheap printer to do that, even taken as a kit of all the control parts they're exceptionally cheap and reliability of those parts has proven very good in my experience so far.DogDipstick said:...
Yea I really have no idea what is possible, nor what I want at all. I just see things, dont know quality, nor what is value when it comes to the retail market. Thanyou for reminding me this.
All I know is tat I want to make cool looking stuff like goatman above.
