3D printers

[Franziskaner]

hello everyone, as it is a topic that has been quite fashionable lately, out of curiosity I have started to look into (how much, how, and so on)
initially there are three types: ink compaction, laser compaction, and plastic injection
prices, money is money
from 190 euros upwards
190 euros buccanner which is from Pirate 3d not to be confused with private, although I know you have the link anchored in the browser ;D
in an artisanal way (it is nothing more than a CNC router and it is not the first one I have seen)
Main Page - Fab @ Home
they are usually based on
page with lots of information and many photos of homemade toys
these sell parts and I have read that they sell a kit for 350 but ….. I can't find it, it is the SeeMeCNC H-1
and this other one is an electronics forum where they are discussing the topic

among the many possibilities that these printers have, at the moment, I come up with for example:
water blocks printed directly on top of the HIS, no electrolytic copper or milk, just water directly on top and without risk of leaks.
fittings with negative knurling (a continuous or semi-continuous spiral to force the water to rotate inside the ducts and eliminate the "river effect" at last)
much more complex fan blades (to date, they are limited by the use of molds)
water pumps for RLs, the motor obviously not, but a D5 is worth what it is worth for the motor, for the pump itself, or for the brand ;D imagine buying a motor with similar characteristics and making the rest yourself.
this for us, for other things …..
and this with the current domestic ones.
the new generation of industrial ones can work with metal (aluminum, copper and ferrous) which means that connecting rods (of combustion engines) can be hollow with a honeycomb interior structure, as well as crankshafts and gears, which at the moment could mean a 20/25% weight reduction and greater resistance.
in general, I think it could be a very important advance in many fields.

The little bit I've read has really appealed to me. In fact, the people at Ikea have been using this type of machine for a long time to make models of the things they are going to sell and have them in real size.
The only downside that people say is that the ABS plastic is fragile and that's why they have probably come out with the others that will be priced through the roof.
I'm even tempted to bring one to Lanzarote to sell parts that people want to touch before taking it to the factory

Moreover, Ikea people have been using this type of machine for a long time to make full-size models of the things they are going to sell.

man ….. an IKEA piece of furniture at 1:1 scale :ugly: at 25 euros per kilo of PVC or similar :wall: I think rather not.
I suppose what they do is a scale model, and I don't think it's 1:1 (the model would be more expensive than 100 pieces of furniture)
it's really a "toy" with many applications, in this forum I think we stopped two or three with the meniscus torn, a 3D printer with the right material (when they tell you that you have a bad meniscus they do a 3D MRI) I think it would be able to make an exact replica (but without flaws) and it would be a tremendous advance.
it's just one more application for this "toy" that I've thought of.
the people at NASA say they want to invest a lot of money, to make "solid" food in space as the Americans are, I imagine, a COMPLETE HAMBURGER :troll::troll:
jokes aside, I think it has a great future.
the idea is good, I hope it's used for useful things and not for 10,000 sheep (I think that's what they were) to download the app to make one or two-shot pistols (which is older than defecating and doesn't need a 3D printer) (it's done with a column drill)
regards
P.D. I'm eager to see the idea evolve and see some here here

Garfield was referring specifically to the models, obviously on a much smaller scale.

I looked into it a bit, and if you start building one of the ones floating around, with free schematics and all that, the most basic one can cost around 300/400€. The applications are many, although my doubt is more about the accuracy of the cheaper models.

[Franziskaner]

they say that the ink ones are 0.10 to 0.30 mm thick and it is understood that this should be the precision but the PVC ones ….. I am not so sure, I suppose the precision will be what "the nozzle" of the injector marks

@Franziskaner:

y este otro es un foro de electrónica donde se están planteando the topic

Considering that the last message is from 4 years ago, it seems to me that they are not taking it very seriously either...

This is for real: http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Proyecto_Clone_Wars

[Franziskaner]

very good Yorus.
in a link I read that certain models use the andruino platform ( I think that's how it's spelled ) I can't remember the model

What a hassle to put one of these together.

this is yours is not very precise but at the energy and material level it will be a bargain

more stuff
arduino mega 2560 is the board that a Spanish company wants to use for its 3D printer

Ains, me da que cuando empiece a tener beneficios en la empresa me monto una.

Joe tío, it must be great to make your own toys at home
I would like to have one to design modding parts, lightweight and with the shape I want, that must be a great comfort :sisi:

[Franziskaner]

man some are capable of doing very beautiful things, but behind it has a good 3d design job example:

and another thing

A couple of more ideas :ugly:
