3D printer who has one

[REKIII]

I have 3.  One really fancy but old one, it's pretty much decommissioned probably will go to ebay soon.

The other 2 are much less expensive ABS/PLM single head printers.  They print OK, but not to the level of the fancy one.  Both print better than the example shown on Jdesigns pic.

If you are going to use it to print interior parts you will want to look into the heat capacity of whatever you are printing with.  Interirs can get very hot.  Most 3D printer material melts at a lower temp than molded plastic used for interior pieces.  Interiors can get hot and you don't want your parts getting soft.

What's the one you're getting rid of? Price?

It is a stratasys dimension dual head printer with water soluable support.  New price was $55K it looks like they are selling between $1500 and $4K depending on age and whatnot.  Mine works, but it would need some maintenance done with the belts and such.  I'd be looking for the lower end of that.

Sucker is as big as a refrigerator though.  Not exactly desktop lol.

Im intrigued. Can you let us know if they are for sure selling it, I am interested.

I assume it looks like this:

Newer than that one I think.

Nice! Let me know if you are selling it. Obviously @Daggerty has first dibs.

Is that actually a functional part?  That looks amazing, serious weight reduction.

If it was printed with a metal printer, yes.  Usually these have the same properties as a sintered metal.  It would also probably be prudent to give some work to the ring grooves to verify consistency all around.
