3D printers

[garfield]

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.

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...

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:

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:
