Very cool; do you need info on the less popular 3D printers that may be worth listing due to attractive features / performance / quality?

I haven’t seen any info in regards to signing up for the survey. Where’s this at? Is it still available? Would love a badge!

I’m a newbie to this world looking for a prototype manufacturing solution. A simple guide outlining all the different printable materials along with their characteristics, (Strength, flexibility, finish, impact resistance, how much definition you can get with it, colours etc…)

Then a simple guide to the different types of 3D printer and how they compare with each other FDM, SLA, SLS.

This could be two simple tables to introduce those of us uninitiated to the whats going on. If this exists already, then I would be delighted to be directed towards it.

By way of background about ourselves, we have been trying to see some sample printed items in various materials to get an idea of form factors, design constraints, colours, costings and materials.

We are making a case for our new electronic device which will be worn on the upper arm on an armband and is circa. the size of a pack of cigarettes.

It needs to be strong enough to resist impact with the ground if a person falls over, be water resistant to keep out melted snow and water from damp clothing.

We are looking at a bright yellow case colour with the logo embossed on the front face.

There will need to be apertures for two LED indicator lights (preferably behind a transparent panel on the case)

There needs to be an on/off switch on the case as well.

Lastly, we are in Central London and Southampton/Bournmouth area.

Best, James

Hi Piergiorgio,

You were supposed to fill in a survey and rate your printer, back in November. No worries, we’ll reopen it next year too:)

Cheers,
