New 3D Printer

mikemill:
I am impressed by the capability of these machines, I have looked at the many small printers that are on the market, but decided that a slightly larger machine would prove useful in the future, I found this one LSAM 1040 http://www.thermwood.com/lsam_home.htm

Also getting a new shed to house the new tool.

Any advise as to using 3D printers would be appreciated.

You'll be able to make some really nice tool holders with that. You know ........... ones that will hold you're lathe and mill so you can hang them on the wall!  :lolb:

Well, I do think those machines might be slightly larger than needed compared to most model engines ... :)

But if you are seriously asking about using 3d printers, I'd be happy to share my experience, relatively tiny (compared to those machines) as it is! :)

I was just trying to add some humouress light relive for house bound M E’s but seems to be in vain. M E’s may to have lost their sense of humour?
except Jim

Allen Smithee:
I guess the LSAM 1040 would be OK at a pinch - I gather these 3d-prints can be bonded together to make useful-sized components that won't fit into the limited print volume.

Yesterday I was in my workshop making swarf when a chap drove past on a tractor shouting "The end is NIGH!!!". I think it was farmer geddon.
