New larger format 3D printer
I have been eyeing a 3D printer but had been waiting before purchasing because none of the semi-reasonably priced (<$2500) models seemed to have a large enough printing area/volume for my purposes. Specifically, I would really like to try 3D printing some discgolf discs. Most discs are circles aboutĀ 8-9 inches (20-23 cm) in diameter and unfortunately most entry levelĀ printers have a max print area of 7 inch by 9 inch or so… not quite large enough. š
Therefore I was very exited to read the following news articles about a new larger 3D printer from Lulzbot:
It looks ideally suited for the task though I am unsure how well the plastic(s) available would hold up for disc usage. Regardless it is a very interesting printer and a very interesting industry in general. š
