Hello Guys,


At the end of this year, we will have the possibility to print MOI.V3 3D files at very low cost ... and high definition ... at home.
Fantastic ... See the videos .... : http://youtu.be/snOErpOP5Xk.... to see more : http://3dhomemade.blogspot.com/

Bye,

Pretty amazing. From reading the blog it looks like 50 microns resolution is possible, and can print with material suitable for investment casting. Jewelers machining wax on a mill may soon be a thing of the past. I'd really like to see a jewelry casting made from one of these models.

What is he total cost for setup on something like this, I am completely interested in these but the resolution has traditionally been bad on something that affordable.

` Main question I received is about the kit availability - Answer: We intend to release by the end of this year, pre-orders will be open soon.'

50 microns resolution?!! Now you have my interest. I work with an Objet printer at 16 microns, but it is EXPENSIVE.

Put me on your list.

50 microns is 0.002". I don't know what all goes into the determining the accuracy, but 0.002" is easy to get using hobby grade CNC linear slides used on desktop milling machines. I expect the price will be very reasonable.

I've been following a similar blog about a low cost engraving laser kit, using a Chinese tube as it's most expensive component. Several have been built for around $2,000 and compare with commercial units costing 10 times as much. Reminds me of the home brew computer movement back in the 70's.

At any rate, MoI is ready to design parts for this machine.

Ed

Kit price will be around 1000 dollars ....see old blog entries ... and make things 25000 dollars machines do.

News on the blog .....

i'm interested at 50um at reasonable cost.

The 16um printer was a little too expensive for us to "try".

If we new it would work for us cost is not as much of an issue.

The surface finish and wall thickness of FDM printed objects won't work for the application I have in mind.

More specs would be helpful.

Materials that it prints in? Speed?
