Not really. There are plenty of prices that will print for you at a modest cost. Yes there are other costs of design etc but much can mitigated with cheap/free software. Really just a modern version of home monkey metal casting. mtaylor, Canute and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Simon.

Within reason you can, commercial printers now have a 25 micron resolution limit, ie, they can print to .0025" Half the thickness of a piece of thin paper.... Anything is printable now, all that is left is adjusting resins to give the best results in most environments and making bigger build spaces, a complete technical engineering issue alone... And as we know, given time, those will be resolved... 3D resin printing is here to stay.....

LED Posted February 19 #155 Posted February 19 Am I the only one looking down the funnels at those 'details' and noting a ladder... I think we just found the absolute worse job on the Dreadnought. Yowser, that would not be fun... mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
RGL Posted February 19 Author #156 Posted February 19 Stoker would be the worst I reckon. Whilst I have zero interest in learning 3D printing, I see it as legitimate to the hobby as figure painting or busts. I can’t sculpt or draw but happy to throw paint on it.
