Nice work and interesting filament changer. What do you mean by infinite printing module? The bed raises and ejects the finished print and then re-aligns for the next one?by cpus - General
Quotecpus Update? Wow, over 8 years since I've been on here... In that time I've gotten an electrical engineering degree so I have an even greater respect for this project; I was already very impressed when I first read this thread. It appears Andrey has significantly improved his model over time as well as introduced new models: http://www.totalkustom.com/ Going to be interesting to see if 3d pby cpus - General
Interesting, but that is pretty expensive. Could definitely be built for much cheaper.by cpus - General
I personally find this thread valuable, and it is also useful for someone who is interested in building a large build 3d printer, and the constraints of doing so.by cpus - General
Very cool design, hopefully it will withstand long term printing.by cpus - General

QuoteFeign Quotecpus7% increase in revenue for Makerbot since q4 2013, I think thats what the article is saying.Oh, now I get what you're saying. The thing is, revenue isn't the same as profit. They were projecting over 40% growth in revenue for that time period in their reports to their stockholders... Meaning they were spending money in accordance with those projections. That is, if they honby cpus - General
QuoteFeign QuotecpusI wouldn't exactly call a 7% increase the downfall of a company...Yeah, I should have put quotation marks and an eyeroll emote next to "downfall". Though I haven't been paying all that much attention, are you saying they bounced back to a 7% increase later, or that they are at a net 7% increase since buying Makerbot? 7% increase in revenue for Makerbot since q4 2013, I thinkby cpus - General
QuoteFeign I think the fall has finished leveling out. But man, an immediate 25% loss is an ugly thing when you put it on a graph. Let's all avoid gloating over Makerbot's downfall and hope that they see what it is that suddenly caused their "goodwill value" to evaporate the way it did and that they work to correct it.

Quotemodzilla QuoteMattMoses Quote jmaeding oh, so you mean a future ceramic printing method, not what is available now? Cool idea for sure, has anyone done that on a non-million dollar machine? These machines print a ceramic slurry using a paste extruder: Ceramic Delta, Ceramic Extrusion. The printed parts are then fired in a kiln. The Solar Sinter is a very famous project thaby cpus - General
Quotejaguarking11 Quotecpus Exactly. I don't ever see 3d printers becoming commonplace in households unless they grow a lot more consumer friendly and can support more than just plastic. As of now I am counting the material types supported 1 - ABS 2 - PLA 3 - Ceramics 4 - clay 5 - carbon fiber 6 - metal impregnated plastics 7 - somewhat cunductive plastics 8 - metal (Well solder experiments) Nby cpus - General
QuoteOhmarinus Personally, I never understood why people 'should have' a 3d printer in their home. You see those vendors always telling it's the future, yeah it's going to change the world, in X years every home will have one blabla. I'm maybe missing a bit of nuance here, but I don't think the adoption should be increased. 3D-printing is in my opinion a prototyping technique, and yes it's fun tby cpus - General
Quotecdru QuotecpusLet me know how you guys think about it and what I need to changeWell, that whole charging for things probably isn't going to be real successful, at least with this community. Not that you don't have a right to, just that a lot of reprappers believe in a more "open source" type of a model.

QuoteOhmarinus First reaction; It doesn't look very welcoming? The files have a weird name, and the site is very unclear on what the goal is. I suggest working on communicating what you do on your site. Lol yea that was a test file. Thanks for the suggestions will work on it.by cpus - Object repositories

Im launching a 3d printer file marketplace within the next week, might consider this based on demand.by cpus - General
Exactly what the others said. They earn much more profits selling proprietary ink cartridges.by cpus - General
Did you end up buying the ultimately 2?by cpus - General
Been following this since you started the thread Would be very interested in a tutorial with the parts needed and how to build it.by cpus - General
I would like to look at some new 3D printers and possibly buy one from a newer company.by cpus - General
QuoteAndreyR After several months of experimentation, I finally made a custom extruder which works in the way it needs to for the cement printer (stable on any speed). This was not an easy task, and I made 5 different versions before the current working one. In the photo, you can see the very first print. Unfortunately, my garage workplace is close to freezing right now, and it would be hard to pby cpus - General
