As someone "who would never want to own one" and "would find no use for one"; I have been following this thread with unexpected interest. It certainly seems that with a bit of extra work, it is quite possible to make a 70 quid printer do something which could be useful (but I am still unsure what that something useful may be).Mike
My first batch of face shield (visor) frames are due for collection by DPD couriers tomorrow morning. If they prevent 10 doctors or nurses from infection then it was time well spent. Unfortunately they are one-use only because the materials are not suitable for sterilization.On the technical front, my cheap as chips printer has been running 36 hours continuously, even while I was asleep. The linear bearings and bars are showing signs of wear but it is still bashing on. 3D printing is a pathetically slow and inefficient way of making the frames, But hay, I wasn't going anywhere was I.Stay strongMike
