New 3D Printer

I know that only a modest (but growing) proportion of of MEW readers are interested in buying a 3D printer. Nevertheless, I'm posting a shortened version of a press release (below) as some forum members will no doubt be interested in what you can get an investment of £3,999, as this is a desktop resin printer using a UV-optical system, with results superior to what you might expect from a basic 'Reprap'.

I hope you have asked them to send one so you can do a long term test for MEW

I was tempted...

Looks good but I don't think the household management will approve spending that much

Looks like a cut above the normal 3D printers which are little more than hobby grade. They are probably worth the extra cost but only for professional use. I'd love to try one....

I'm a little surprised that they are trying the "1 year warranty included" caper. Whoopee. You might expect that from the ignorant youth in Currys who is on commission for pushing the "extended warranty" scam but in the UK the warranty is potentially several years by law - and certainly more than 1 year. Hopefully this is typically Japanese and reliable to start with.

Stating the obvious..this is a uv cure epoxy machine. ..great for resolution but when finished the psrts are not considered functional......just saying...and expoxy consumables are still expensive.

If epoxy printers are plausable for you...Google "peachy" printer...

A diy machine using epoxy fab.

And a novel "Z" axis.

And apart from the cost of consumables, machine cost =" £3999 + VAT" ???

Many here would pay more than that for a lathe or mill, with or without CNC.

However, I didn't realise the limitations of epoxy parts, also the machine has a workspace of only about 110x70x70mm
