New Full Scale 3D Printer in Broward Area

[EY3D]

Thank you for the links, that is a very interesting concept. It would be nice to see NASA release a 3D model of the solar system with all of the data they have collected over the years. Printing the surface textures of different planets would be pretty cool.

I think your best bet is to stick with that setup if you intend on taking advantage of the full dimensions. The big nozzles and thick layers might limit detail/resolution but with geometric designs(like the beautiful crystal you printed) dimensional accuracy is still perfect and should yield great prints. I use .1mm nozzles with .1mm layers on my smaller printer if I need high detail but using that set up on anything larger than a few cm^3 starts to get ludicrous. My largest printer is 25.4cm X 25.4cm X 26.0cm. Use anywhere up to .8mm nozzle on one extruder for infill/support any anywhere from .2-.5mm on the other. I have considered putting together a large format (looks like so much fun) but I haven’t had the need that would justify. Good luck and enjoy!

For practical purpose large format printers usually have much larger nozzles and run with thicker layers (unless you want to spend days or more on a print). So it’s literately like zooming in on the model. For example, using a 1.0mm nozzle means any detail in the x/y axis smaller than 1.0mm is not possible without putting a smaller nozzle and therefor drastically increasing print time(resolution in z axis depends on layer height). While small detail isn’t possible this shouldn’t have any effect on dimensional accuracy or quality of prints that don’t involve tiny detail. This also means there is little room for error because small imperfections are also “zoomed in”. A hiccup on a print with .1mm layers can easily go unnoticed without a magnifying glass but with the large format any imperfection is going to be much more noticeable. Looks like these guys have it dialed in pretty good!

Love that massive Marvin!

I have been playing with speed vs detail for a few days now(that crystal took 16 hours) with , with the dragon currently printing the time lost seems really to be in the supports. We are printing him completely hollow at about 38" long and the support structure its generated is a bit excessive. I am trying to get the support settings right so that I can shave hours off my print times. The large format is fun and surprisingly simple to work with!

Thank you for all of the help. Ill be sure to continue posting our creations.

Me Too! He’s due to be painted today!

[Georgeh1ll]

Cool! How big is he?

Be sure to post pictures of him printed.

[EY3D]

He is 12" tall!

Ill post him as soon as hes ready!

[Filemon]

Maybe you can be the first to print Pluto? Does anyone know if those height maps already available to the public?

[Filemon]

+1 on the finished big Marvin

[EY3D]

That would be amazing! I would love that. Let me know if the height maps are available. We are planning on printing a scale model of the Eiffel Tower at 80" high!

Congratulations on your new purchase. I am the US reseller of BigRep GmbH.

Contact me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Wow that’s awesome! You could collaborate with the guys (@Tiesdenh) next to 3D hubs that are trying to make the kids bike from 3D printing. You could almost print the entire bike in one!

3D Fuel is a sustainable 3D Printer filament manufacturing company in Meridian, Mississippi. We are offering a high discount on our out of spec filament. We have 92 spools of white PLA filament in a tolerance of +/- .08 for $15 a spool and 411 spools of black PLA filament in a tolerance of +/- .08 for $15 a spool. This does not mean the entire spool is out of spec. There are parts of the spool with perfect +/- .03 tolerances throughout. Please contact Jorge Cornejo at if interested!

Hey @Amoniqu3, in this community, we really appreciate people’s input that is related to the topic at hand and it’s helpful, in one way or another, to the maker starting the thread. Your type of comments, promotional and out of sync, are most likely to annoy the people here, rather than bring any added value to them. I’ve noticed this is not the only exact comment you’ve posted today in different threads, which is why we’ll make sure to erase all of them. Please refrain from these type of comments moving forward and consider this your first warning. Cheers

WOW!!!

[EY3D]

Here he is! 12" tall Marvin next to his key-chain counterpart!

[Georgeh1ll]

Awesome. So well painted. How much material for one of these big boys?

[3D_Seed]

They’re over 40,000 euros aren’t they?

We have an 800x800x800mm printer ( and we built it ourselves ) here at 3D Seed if anyones interested.

We also use the E3D Volcano nozzles with a 1mm layer height so it’s FAST as well.

We also sell them for half the cost of the BigRep

We also sell larger 3d Printers as we manufacture VSlot here in Spain (from Openbuilds)

The maximum size we can engineer can use the 6 metre lengths so anyone want to print a house/car etc ?
