M3D printer, $350 plug and play printer

[nvrr49]

I have done some initial test prints, and you can see some of the results here. More at my blog, http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2015/09/m3d-printer-1-test-prints.html


The red pieces were printed on the M3D.

The shelves against the wall in this piano store diorama were printed on the M3D. For more details on the piano store diorama, including the pianos, click on this link, http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2015/09/pianos-ho-scale-3d-printed-at.html

Thanks for sharing your findings.

Here are some HO scale concrete blocks I designed and printed on the M3D. More pictures and design details can be seen at http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2015/10/m3d-printer-3-concrete-blocks-in-ho.html

Really impressive! How long did the concrete blocks take to make/print and what was the material cost?

 

[nvrr49]

I print the blocks 12 at a time, and they take a little less than an hour. The M3D is VERY slow. Each block takes about an inch of material.

Question: Is it worth buying or would you have been better spending the 350 on a better printer. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger, is why I ask.

OK, for 350, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I didn't know that they had a customer referral program. Nvrr, if you haven't then signed up for their referral program, please do so. Folks, if you buy one, give him the credit.

OldGuyHO, I don't see the referral program on their web site. And I am not making any endorsements one way or the other, there is a learning curve, and for every 3d printer it is different.
