3d printers are so expenssive

So where ink jet printers a few years ago.  They will keep coming down in price.

How much the 3d printer cost and how much cost the material for making one of the 3/4" "corner" pieces shown on the image?

BTW the white corner has nice Bitcoin logo...

Hence the Peachy! It will only be about $100!

But if you have more knowledge in making things you should use some other stuff to make box like this one on picture not the 3d printer

These end-pieces?


Yup, all the black pieces I printed, they all have the BTC symbol on them and they actually look pretty cool but the lighting and my playbook combo took really shitty pictures.  I made 3 way corners, 90 degree elbows and a T connector (T connector is different than the 3 way corner).  All designed to fit loosely over 3/4" square tube.  Once I had it all together I squared it up and tightened it with little brass screws.

That pic is just a mock up and not in its installed location. So the PSU doesn't actually sit there, in fact to keep the heat form the PSU away from the cards and vice versa I have it secured to the top of the rig, pulling air in the "back side" of it and expelling hot air out the top.

Here is another subject near and dear to my heart!

I personally have a Makerbot 3d printer on my desk, it's pretty awesome if I do say so!

I actually made some 3/4" "corner" pieces for my LTC GPU rig, with fancy BTC symbol on it (terrible pics can't see the BTC symbol to well).

I see a lot of potential in the 3D printing vertical and am in the process of starting up a business which we will be purchasing a 3D systems ProJet 660, powder bed full colour printer, can print approx. 6 million colours.  I am hoping we can order and take delivery and be set up early in 2014.

I only wish I could have a 3D printer

On kickstarter, there's a stereolithographic printer called the Peachy being developed for $100.  The forum the OP linked is the main site for the people backing it.

Delivery for the backers isn't going to start until the middle of next year, but it might be something for you to keep your eye on.

I really want one of those :I

Just watch the forum, their kickstarter page, and their site.  I'd expect you may be able to place an order for one as soon as April.

If you back them now, can you be one of the ones that gets it mid-2014?

Is this going to be able to print everything that the standard ones can, or will it be toned-down?

It should be able to do anything any other stereolithographic resin printer, like the Form1, can do.  It just uses some creative means to cut down on the components e.g. aiming the laser beam with mirrors rather than physically moving the laser (allowing them to cut out the expensive precision stepper motors), using a slowly-filling tank of water rather than a moving platform to control the z-axis (removes another stepper motor), using a soundcard for digital-to-analog conversion (removes the need for a microcontroller), etc.

Go have a look at their videos about the printer on youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/user/PeachyPrinter/videos

In particular, this little show-off of some prints may interest you, as well as this video of their "what happens if we..." testing.

They're still improving it.  These are the result of their 22nd prototype of the printer and they're currently working on the 23rd, which will correct some short comings of the current one, for example, that string in the vase print should go away with the blanking circuit (which will allow them to shut off the laser) they'll be adding.

That thing is awesome. Would've definately funded it if I heard about it before!

Shoes printing instead, I was not very impressed, I doubt you can even use these shoes, looks more like fashion model shoes

there is even a printer for clothes but i cant find it anymore. please notice that is just the beginning!
