How Good Are 3D Printers?

[Mark RandParticipant @markrand96270]

Using daughter’s resin printer, the resolution and layer height are far superior to my fdm printer, but it needs far more support and that ruins the quality of some prints.

I’ve got a set of moulding box sides waiting to be cast when I get the foundry fired up again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX2u6S5qV3Q

Recently installed a couple of Stevenson Screen temperature and humidity probe housings to check on the greenhouse and garden. PETG. Mostly clip together with pinned and dovetailed joints. ‘Double glazed’ roof and floor, double louvres. No support needed for printing. A squirt of solvent cement holds them together more closely on the roof to side joints, but this was the first working prototype. Forgot the circular fillet on the top bracket 🙁 :-
