Quote from: monsta666 on Dec 13, 2024, 11:43 AMA live demonstration on why 3D printing never took off. I did hear the technology is very finicky and even hardcore geeks who are inclined to tinkering and having more patience than most have trouble with these contraceptions. Let us hope you get it to work before the collapse of civilization. By the sound of things it could be a close call...
Yea, Kdog warned me in advance that it was not a turn-key user-friendly technology. He worked with it some at his old job and was one of the few geeks there who could get it to work at all. However, to make prototypes of my designs that are good enough for demonstrations, it was either this or a laser cutter to get accurate enough cuts, angles and tolerances. Here in the Gulag they won't let me have a laser cutter because of the fumes they give off when cutting thru stuff, so I had to risk it. I got a good deal at $300 for it so it's not a major financial loss if I can't get it to work, but I'm not sure how I'm going to move forward with my bizness if I can't overcome the problems. I haven't given up yet, but I sure am frustrated.
