What’s the status on the resin printers in 3d fab?
Are they operational?
-Jim
I going to edit my original NO. The Formlabs printer work sporadically, the pasrtt that break are the same parts that have broken the last 2 times we have sent it in for repairs (600.00 worht). At the last meeting we decided to get a less expensive printer that if broken could just be replaced. I will post in the next week or so the progress of this. As far as the formlabs go, formlabs will not sell the parts for do it yourself fixes, I asked about this and was told NO. John Gorman has had luck with this in the past so I asked him to look into it, if not we are going to sell the formlabs as is.
Is there an ETA by chance?
We’ve had some member drop and I know of others holding off until we get SLA capabilities back; for the ones dropping I’m hoping that if it’s soon enough we can convince them otherwise.
We have SLA capabilities, PR has a resin printer. As far as an ETA, we will know after the next 3D fab meeting
but is that available to the general membership?
That would
be a question for PR
Weren’t we going ahead on the purchase of the Mars testbed printer? So it’s just waiting
the purchasing+delivery time?
Pending board approval
It is not available to general membership due to a number of different reasons. A cabinet has been requested to lock it up.
so that is stays working?
