A couple years ago we did a presentation in college about a company that was successfully 3d printing functioning lower receivers for AR15's.
China is already out here 3d printing houses.
It'll only get better.

What are the grades of these? I saw one for sale at barnes and nobles for 300. Is 300 too cheap? what limitations would a "cheaper" 3d printer have over another? What's the limitation on materials you can use with it?

I'm not familiar with the specifics of 3D printers.
The report we did was more about the general capability of 3D printing tech and how different companies were using them.
I've never researched specific details about the printers themselves.

i researched it for my company and saw it in action and it's really fun to play with. if you're in the medical, dental, architecture, art/design and education then it can be very useful, especially for aesthetic and function testing. if money isn't an issue then i would recommend it but paying several hundred for a decent one isn't worth it imo.

I wouldnt cheap out on a 3d printer, youll just have lots of problems later on. with maintenence.... I bought this printer and it works great..

if youre printing large object this one


for smaller objects i suggest this one, it is also very quiet


these are also good based on reviews



Ive been printing accesssories for the nintendo switch on mine.. printed out a stand yesterday and some grips for the joycon today... I also opped a second smaller one for my desk at work :wow:
