I have a Printrbot Simple 3D Printer Kit at home which supports my 3D2print’s 1.75mm PLA filaments and it produces high quality prints. There are other affordable 3D printing machines in the market; the competition is on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211830214906359068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-7043906938162025062013-10-30T10:57:59.260+00:002013-10-30T10:57:59.260+00:00Easily, the article is actually the best topic on ...Easily, the article is actually the best topic on this registry related issue.

I suspect that along with legitimate original models, "re-scans" of specific manufacturers' models will be available through the usual piracy chain (will bit torrents still be around?) the same way dodgy recasts are available on eBay.<br /><br />Mike Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119045198858883590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-37725492099907769512012-11-26T09:57:22.915+00:002012-11-26T09:57:22.915+00:00Hi John - I've put you up for a Liebster Award...Hi John - I've put you up for a Liebster Award, should you wish to accept it! http://hereford1938.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/id-like-to-thank-my-parents-my-agent-my.htmlJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958118384086619111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-71155458318950521002012-11-25T08:51:56.014+00:002012-11-25T08:51:56.014+00:00The Torygraph article compares 3D printers to micr...The Torygraph article compares 3D printers to microwave ovens in their impact, which tells you all you need to know about the writer's grasp of technology.John Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-5116358366571949112012-11-25T08:49:48.689+00:002012-11-25T08:49:48.689+00:00I assume that 3D CAD is used in all the new plasti...I assume that 3D CAD is used in all the new plastic-sprue models, cheapening the process enormously.

I'm following this quite closely and am currently studying 3D CAD in the hope of running a laser-cutter, transfer printer and 3D prototype printer/profiler, so I know articles like that are well off-message.<br /><br />There was better coverage of a recent industry 3D conference in the Netherlands in the 'i' newspaper the other day.<br /><br />Also what the author has entirely missed is that while the Toy Soldier companies aren't using 3D printers yet, they are almost certainly using 3D scanners and running 3D milling machines off 3D cad files (to make monks? - it's the way I tell'em!).<br /><br />Indeed al aspects of CAD/CAM must be behind the huge renaissance in toy soldiers lead by <i>HaT</i>, <i>Italeri</i> and <i>Strelets*R</i> and now encompassing all this 25 and 28mm kit based styrene, the 'fast build' phenomenon, the fact that <i>Hasegawa</i> are back in AFV production etc...<br /><br />It was interesting how back in 2007/8 we had two threads on 3D on <i>HaT</i> and one on the <i>Stelets</i> forum's and neither time did the owners/mods comment?Hugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.com
