@Orwelian84 @basedjensen Billion dollars does not buy much in debt crisis and tech induced deflationary spiral.

@Orwelian84 @AkkadSecretary Also kids these days haven't been around long enough to understand that prior to 2008 markets were not up only on various flavors of quantitative easing or liquidity swaps. Unless the Treasury/Federal Reserve starts doing extreme yield curve control, no guarantees that it stays

@Orwelian84 Just watch, they're gonna call to put stepper motors on a national registry next.

You will eat the future they deem "right" for the masses.

@3D_Orville Nevada is growing out nicely

@Orwelian84 They probably wanted a reimagining with a younger edgy cast like it was lampooned in S10ep6.

@therealcarlin Long story short, the photoinitiators used to make resins sensitive to near UV messes up the platinum catalyst used in platinum cure silicones. Clear coats generally won't do much as photoinitiators can leach through the coatings.

[Humble 3d Print Farmer @YasuTano]

@therealcarlin I work in resin manufacturing. Raw SLA prints are generally a nogo as they inhibit silicone cure (even with a polyurethane coat) with 2 exceptions

1. You post cure the entire for surface (1-3hrs+) by soaking the part in water and limit oxygen exposure

2. Use tin-cure silicone

@HalenMattison Building automated mixing and dispensing for 3d resin/photoresist manufacturing but dogfooding it for our own resin manufacturing lab.

@lost_in_tech Not really, the used and open box markets is still filled with amazingly cheap options if you look and vet carefully.

@McMasterDaily 2017 called they want their funky bedslinger design back.

Plus 3.7k for glass build plate and corner leveling in 2026 is just wild.

[Humble 3d Print Farmer @YasuTano]

@CanuckCreator I am old enough to remember when the Bambu Kickstarter slogan was "no more bedslingers"

[Humble 3d Print Farmer @YasuTano]

@Xaraphim Depends on the volume of materials you are testing. If it's a handful of materials a month build your own machine to get ballpark numbers and outsource to an actual lab when you need Insistron accuracy. Because holy canoli they are expensive machines and the used market sucks.

@zackslab Is that a YouTube?

@t3nable The issue was the bureaucracy is extremely unfriendly to small startups and basically allows a few very large companies to pesudeo monopolize the market for the feedstocks that might have resulted in cheaper dental work in some form.

[Humble 3d Print Farmer @YasuTano]

@t3nable A few years back I worked with a pre-seed startup that was developing bio safe UV resins used to print dental appliances and the black pill was that the material was about ~$60/kg (competition was $300+) but we would have had to spend 500k+ on lawyers to get FDA certified.

@Xaraphim That's the irony, game devs and movie studios learned to handle Cosplayers (who are technically in violation of copyright and trademarks) with a little care and will reach out and have a gentle conversation when someone stays too far beyond the line.

Bambu did not get the memo.

[Humble 3d Print Farmer @YasuTano]

@Xaraphim From what I know all IP violations need to be pursued (no matter in how much good faith they are e.g. a well meaning dev) in order for their trademark/patent/copyright to remain defensible in the future. Is one of the reasons why Disney has a building full of lawyers.
