Actually, the Dimension Elite is still running good. We got the new one (F170) since Stratasys will stop support the Elite early next year.
Until then, we now have 2 printers running since we already paid tech subcription on Elite one

Too bad that PLA can’t be printed on stratasys printer with support material

The Jupiter is huge!.. (still in beta but wth!)

Yeah!.. a New Printer is on it’s way! (
it just went on sale at 6am EST)

Yayy
 So happy for you

I also have AnyCubic Mono X 6K.
This printer is a huge step up from FDM/FFM (usually melted plastic) printers, but please take some time preparing before you start if you want a good experience. Anycubic support is excellent, and there is a large Facebook group full of Anycubic Photon owners willing to give advice and to help you troubleshoot any issues. The printer comes assembled, and isn’t difficult to level once you understand the process. Prints take a while, but I often go to work and come home to a full build platform ready for post-processing. What’s nice about SLA printing is that you can print a single piece or a full build platform, and it takes about the same amount of time if the layer height is the same.
You’ll want to start right away, but take the time this printer deserves and become familiar with common issues and how to fix them. I found that most of the issues I experienced were related to leveling the printer as a whole (the feet on the bottom adjust), leveling the build platform (it has to be tighter than you’d expect, but be careful not to crack the LCD screen), and tension of the FEP film at the bottom of the resin vat (it should be tight, and almost feel like a solid surface).

Glad you have a 6k as well!
Yeah, it’s been a great printer, well worth it. This is my second resin, my Kelant s400s is/was great.

I’ve gotta try it out. :smiley:

From functional prototyping to customization and final parts, Beretta, the oldest industrial dynasty in the world, has embraced the future of manufacturing

Ah, profits are up and more greed to embrace making things fast and cheap by the weapons pushers.

32

Companies are printing rocket engines. Even hobbyist are printing rocket engines.
Kids can design, print and fly a drone.

The Zurich University of Applied Sciences has created a modification to Prusa Research’s MK3S printer series to print 90° overhangs without support material.

They have built a 4-axis printhead that rotates at -90/+90°. The best part? The design files for the toolhead are completely open-source — so if you want to build your own Rotbot 4-axis non-planar 3D printing tool, then head over to Printables.

Made from an aluminum alloy using a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) machine, the heat exchanger is intended to cool transmission oil on military helicopters by using fuel as the coolant. Looking somewhat similar to a FabergĂ© egg, it uses gyroid “infill” for the actual heat exchange part. An interesting characteristic of gyroids is that it creates two separate intermeshed volumes, making them perfect for this application.

Good for custom CPU water cooling.

christian chu Not saying that you should have buyers envy, and not knowing exactly what you’re using 3DP for, but we did a side by side test about 5 years ago of Stratasys’s F-Series vs Ultimakers S5
 this was evaluating number of materials the machine could use, cost of materials, build envelope, speed, cost of ownership, consumables, and throughput and it wasn’t even close, the S5 ran circles around the F-Series.

We printed the same models on both the S5 and the F-170, F-270, and F-370 and quality/looks wise there was very little difference. Material cost and range is also where the S5 ran circles around the F-Series. And one of the best aspects was the use of PVA support material which dissolves in just plain water.

Maybe when the Elite is gone they’ll let you take a look at getting an S5
