Well… do you? grin

Nope. Not yet. Maybe when they make an affordable home system that has good quality resolution, but that won't be anytime soon.

I am a 3-D printer.

John the OFM23 Jun 2015 6:33 p.m. PST

Nope. I'm not one of the Cool Kids.

My son does and I have to put up with the smell of melting plastic. Does that count?

It's pretty cool but requires a ton of technical know how to really make it work well. He built his from a kit a few years back and paid about $700 USD for it. Not real great at printing miniatures, but awesome for repair parts, and one off materials for his electronics projects. He did print a model of the ACW ironclad Monitor which turned out pretty darn cool.

No…when they get cheaper and simpler, probably….

skippy000123 Jun 2015 7:37 p.m. PST

Any document you print is in 3D…..

I'm waiting for the Matter Replicator upgrade.

Rottcodd23 Jun 2015 8:13 p.m. PST

Waiting till they are cheaper, and print mini's in color with shading…

I own 2. They are both good enough to print gameable models, but neither is pro grade. Basically they are a step between the maker bots and the expensive pro models. Both are deposition printers with one capable of 100 micron layers, and the other 20.

Mako1123 Jun 2015 8:34 p.m. PST

I want a world-class, French, or sourdough crust pizza oven model, in addition to one that can make high quality castings in plastic, and metal.

Wonder if they can design that all in one package?

CeruLucifus23 Jun 2015 8:50 p.m. PST

Not yet.

2 Pro, 1 prosumer and 2 fdm.

Mute Bystander24 Jun 2015 3:02 a.m. PST

cost:value ratio too high currently.

DyeHard24 Jun 2015 9:22 a.m. PST

Yes, one off a Kickstater, about $300 USD + $100 USD extras.
Still not exactly productive.

RavenscraftCybernetics24 Jun 2015 9:57 a.m. PST

no

LOL !!!!

jdpintex24 Jun 2015 4:22 p.m. PST

nope

gamershs24 Jun 2015 4:28 p.m. PST

Is on my to buy list. Am looking at it to turn out models that are needed but are too few or too obscure to be produced by professional model companies.

example: 1/300 scale steam engines for German/Russian/French railroads of WWII. They make the armored engines for the armored trains but no one makes the standard train engines.

MDIvancic24 Jun 2015 5:02 p.m. PST

Yes, M3D kick starter. Using it to learn how to do things.

Patrick R25 Jun 2015 3:45 a.m. PST

No waiting for better speed/quality/price ratio, for a large library of models to become available and the software becomes easier to use.
