Title: 3D Prints
Post by: tom10122 on June 04, 2012, 02:29:05 AM
Over the course of these next two weeks I will be tuning in my new Seemecnc H-1 3d printer. I hope to get print quality up then I will start selling prints. It uses 3mm pla filament. Right now the price I am thinking of is .8 - 1btc per cubic inch,But that could change. The build volume on the printer is a 6 inch cube. What do you think?

I'm gonna say this:

You have aroused my interest. Would you be taking my 3D model file, or a mere description of what I want printed?

as a 3d modeller - cool. i've been using shapeways for the printing of my models, but i might toss some BTC your way.

Most likely a 3d model file, if you need a part or some kind of bracket for something i may be able to design that for you.

not to step on toms toes at all, but if you need a model made, i would be happy to assist as an intermediary. :D

Most likly a 3d model file, if you need a part or some kind of bracket for something i may be able to design that for you.
Can I ask what kind of tolerances we can expect? Also, preferred 3d file formats?

What do you mean by tolerances?  The preferred format is .stl or g-code if you want, In the end they will be converted to g-code but its no big deal for me to do.

what level fo detail can your printer handle, he means. i think. say, a wall 1mm thick? less? ahole with what diameter? raised letters?

Sorry, I mean how fine of a step does the system do? Another part of this question is if I wanted a 1" cube how close to 1" would it be? Thinking of what I might want in 3d...

Right now I am still working on fine tuning it , I will say it should be better than Fuzzy's cupcake(no offense lol). If you wanted a 3d cube about 1' i believe it would be 1' Give or take 3mm, i say 3mm because thats the hot end size

I bet it's better than 3mm once you have it tuned. Depends how much play the machine has I would think.

I'm sorry but one only has a few chances in life to work this into a conversation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMnpwCZIkYw

That's worse than getting rickrolled.  What the hell was the point of that one?

Sorry to revive but My printer is up and running, not impressed with quality at all though, I'll post some pics, If anyone wants to pay for it It'll be cheap. Small things only though nothing bigger than 3 x3 in

What's the situation here? Seems like no activity in a while.

I found this thread while searching and noticed that nothing seemed to develop from it.  If there is anyone still interested in this subject, we'd appreciate your input here:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148902.msg1580372#msg1580372
