New Printer!
Added 2019-07-26 16:38:49 +0000 UTCHere's a sneak peek at the freshly unboxed Makegear M3 dual independent head printer - I still have to make the shroud for it before I start printing to contain and vent the outgassed volatiles. Even with PLA the fumes cause me severe respiratory distress.
Patreon only allows me to post pictures as attachments now, so go figure why that is. You'll have to download the picture to view it. 'Cmon Patreon! What is the problem?

Looks well built! Cant wait to see what you do with this machine.
2019-07-29 08:15:40 +0000 UTCVery nice. And yes, fume hood/enclosure is essential.

2019-07-28 02:12:24 +0000 UTCWow, that thing looks like a beast! I literally just finished assembling my new 3D printer an hour ago, and it worked perfectly first time, but something tells me your new toy is just a little more professional!

2019-07-26 22:11:49 +0000 UTCWould love to see the decision tree: - What factors were most important to you? - Which printers did you consider? - Were there any printers or brands you refused to consider? - Ignoring finances, how long did it take to make the decision?

2019-07-26 21:54:37 +0000 UTCJust curious. Will you give us a breakdown of your rationale for choosing this particular printer? Full disclosure, even though I own Mendelmax 2 and 3 (dual), and work with many other makes of printers up to Stratasys polyjets, I appreciate that different printers are suited to different tasks or makers.

2019-07-26 21:48:12 +0000 UTCLooks sweet!
2019-07-26 21:38:58 +0000 UTCNice and yes a fume/noise shroud is a must IMHO. Dual extruding is fun especially when you can mix pva and pla together and you an use the pva to make holes or add supports which can be washed away in soapy water.

2019-07-26 18:52:06 +0000 UTCNice. Got an Ender 3 last year as I can justify $200 for a 'toy'. Spent well over $200 on upgrades lol. p.s. Big Clive's latest Patreon post had an embedded image.

2019-07-26 17:38:03 +0000 UTCLucky you. My MakerGear M2 is a workhorse! Once dialed in, you'll have thousands of hours of trouble free printing. Their customer support is top notch as well.

2019-07-26 17:21:59 +0000 UTCLooks sturdy - missing a ruler for scale lol
2019-07-26 17:20:15 +0000 UTCLooks very solid, I like it. The picture is no problem, just a double click and it opens in my default viewer (win 10).
2019-07-26 17:14:47 +0000 UTCThat's a pretty sick printer! Worth downloading the picture 🤣🤣

2019-07-26 17:07:19 +0000 UTCLooks great!!
2019-07-26 17:04:04 +0000 UTCOoh nice - I'm glad I'm not the only person that can't use printers without an enclosure, really messes with my throat, even with the low volatile PLA blends.

2019-07-26 17:00:59 +0000 UTCNice. I only have an Flashforge Finder. Without a heated bed. Its an struggle to get something printed without it flat out falling off the print surface, even with glue. So envy. :) But you deserve it!
2019-07-26 16:55:00 +0000 UTCThat's pretty neat!
