Pantone 18-1762 TPX for the body and 19-4007 TCX for the trim. Nice color choice! I love hibiscus. Are there any modifications listed you'd like? Higher capacity reservoir. Oh, and the Wireless-V1 compatibility system and heuristical morning coffee timer. What the heck, I'll take the acoustic damping as well, that's only an extra $3. Ok! That's $89.99, it'll be printed for you in about ten minutes. MoneyPac or Credit? I'm hoping this technology will lead to something like this in the future, because it will be cool as hell.

Printing in stainless steel is just too cool. Edit: Nevermind, saw some of the costs listed for standard customized stuff. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Nov 15, 2010 |

I've started getting decent at using Autodesk 123D for making models and STL files. Has anyone here used i.materialize? You can upload a model and get a price quote fairly quick.

Hey, is it just me, or is Autodesk 123D really drat slow? I mean slow even by Autodesk standards, which is pretty slow.

I've been budgeting for some kind of MakerBot, but this (reliability/warranty as well as parts availability and support) is one of my concerns. What "generation" are these devices currently at? Second or third?

techknight posted:I'm selling 3D printed plugs over in SA-mart right now if anyone is interested: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3507170 This could be interesting. I'm waiting for a "second or third" generation printer before I jump in. Do most of these printers work with Windows 7 64-bit? That's quickly becoming the norm. I'd hate to drop $1k-$2k and not have it work on any of my computers. My other concern is fumes - I noticed that I could distinctly smell the 3D printer when it was extruding. Not a huge deal, but I'd hate to cause issues with my apartment. I just printed my first part out at the Cleveland Public Library last Saturday. It was pretty amazing, but it gave me a taste of some of the limitations of the technology. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Sep 17, 2012 |

I am thinking about getting a Powerspec/Wanhao i3 Mini for printing some small parts. http://www.microcenter.com/product/486633/Duplicator_i3_Mini_3D_Printer Questions: 1. This machine prints based off GCODE files - is this a standard file format that can be generated from all kinds of different software, or is it a proprietary format? (I am more used to STL and I know that is not proprietary.) 2. This machine doesn’t any have a heated bed. Is there some kind of “sticker” that can be placed on the stage to facilitate printing and removal of parts? EDIT: I saw a material called “BuildTak” that is like this.

Gotcha - I always take salespeople advice with a grain of salt, especially in a commission-based place. I want to do my research beforehand so I minimize the chances of having a bad experience.

Any recommendations on software to go from STL or OBJ to GCODE?
