As I keep thinking about this... A few days ago I stumbled upon the micronics SLS 3D printer which they promise to deliver for 3k$. So far they've released two videos about the printer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLqSaEiXzIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SupuCvfviWQ
While they videos are a bit janky and the machines are clearly still in early prototype level, this does look quite interesting. #3dprinting
So some of the handling even looks complicated in their videos like scooping the powder cake (https://youtu.be/hLqSaEiXzIU?t=250) or the assemby process from the second video (https://youtu.be/SupuCvfviWQ?t=62, also janky prototype) for example but they seem to use their printers for some printer parts itself and the quality looks quite ok.
What I also like, is that a lot of their technology is visible in the videos.
The operational time of the filter inside the printer with just 300h seems quite low, the dust extractor seems a bit dodgy and the glass plate cleaning... yeah. :D
Sooo... I'm looking forward how this comes along as I'm very tempted to order one of these machines. 🤔
New video from Micronics... They're surprisingly open about some details about their printer. Also, they're about as far with the development of a product as I thought they might be.
