Hi Gregh, Stijn from 3D Hubs here. It seems that someone is reselling one copy of the book for $6.99. The correct price in the US is $29. I’m in touch with Amazon to remove the reseller from the listing, apologies for the confusion.

Looking for a hub who can print the same model four times: PLA with XTC-3D finish ABS with acetone finish PLA with tumbler finish ABS with tumbler finish Who can help me out?

I understand your concerns @Perry_1 and I’ll definitely make sure the article communicates the capabilities and limitations of FDM printers fairly. The article won’t insinuate that the shapes you mention cannot be printed with FDM. Instead, the article will explain why printing such models with FDM…

Thanks Perry. Indeed looks like a tough print for a desktop FDM printer. This model could be a good example of an intricate shape.
-
Thanks, added threads and tall / narrow objects to the list. Watertightness I think is less of a shape characteristic.
-
For the knowledge base we’re writing an article about printing complex shapes. What I’m looking for is a comprehensive list of complex shapes and fits. These shapes and fits will then be covered per technology (e.g. how FDM deals with large overhangs). What I have now: Large overhangs Intricate s…

Thanks, something that will be covered

Interesting. You say anything more rigid than PLA is not a good idea but on the other hand you did have good success with Colorfab-XT and polycarbonate which are both very rigid materials. Wondering when rigidness does become an obstacle for push-fit parts? For what types of push-fits a more flexib…

Stijn here from 3D Hubs. As some of you already know we are working on a knowledge base: An extensive 3D printing resource for professionals. One article we are working on, written by a hub, discusses the key 3D printing technology (FDM, SLA, SLS, Polyjet) selection- and design considerations for c…

Last week I asked you to list some good visual prototyping questions and received some insightful responses. I’d like to expand a bit upon that thread and figure out what the common research questions are for four prototyping stages: Proof of principle prototypes: To test technical aspects of the p…

Yes totally agree, I think there is still a lot to win by educating architects about the benefits. Hence the article and great that you are setting up a training program. Just watched the video, very impressive!
-
Good suggestion. We could add a chapter in the article that discusses how 3D printing fosters innovation in the architecture industry.
-
Thanks for your feedback John. I guess it starts with knowing what the pro’s & cons of each technology / material are no matter what industry you’re in - from aviation, to consumer products, to architecture. Or do you believe there is something special about 3D printing in architecture?
-
This is very helpful, thanks!
-
It’s Stijn from 3D Hubs. I’m working on a big content project at the moment and I’d like to ask you architects for some advice. We’re creating a Knowledge Base - an extensive resource with articles covering everything about prototyping and 3D printing. We’d like to include an article on how 3D pri…
-
Thanks for your input, some use cases I did not think off
-
Interesting. I guess when it’s easy to turn a visual prototype into a functional one it makes sense to skip visual prototyping. However, especially with more complex products, this is not always the case. Or do you disagree with this?
-
Good suggestions, especially that first questions is well formulated
-
On our platform we see a lot of visual prototypes being printed. With a visual prototype I mean a prototype that resembles the actual product in look, feel, material, and dimensions. A visual prototype captures the size and appearance, but not the functionality, of the intended design. These visua…
