Topic: Get 3D printed parts in ASA, PETG, CF PLA with BTC - Worldwide Shipping (Read 129 times)

I merited this thread and for all I know the seller is 100% legitimate.  It should probably be noted though that they refused to use escrow when attempting to sell some silver on a different thread which is usually a red flag against sellers in this community.  Always be careful and use escrow if you aren't aware of the reputation of the person you are dealing with.  The thread I'm mentioning is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fs-10oz-999-silver-bullion-bar-9-mint-5349490 and I would advise users to review it before sending any payments directly.

Here’s a print I did today for someone, it’s a bladeless fan, similar to the one Dyson sells. I wanted to share this print, as it was difficult to print without any warping using polycarbonate. Usually larger prints with PC are the worst, this one came out well but I think it’s because I upgraded my 3DWOX with a custom heated enclosure the other day. Without that, prob would have warped in the middle due to how large the print was on x/y and z planes.





(Excuse any minor imperfections, this is fresh out of the printer, no post processing other than removing supports.)

Nice, I’ve been meaning to get a prusa mk3. I’ve only heard great things about them. And the elegoo mercurty plus is actually an amazing resin printer in its price range. There’s currently no other resin printer that is able to do what it does for less than a grand. Check it out when you get a chance, only thing is they sell very quick. Personally, other than a PEEK printer, I’d love to get a fiberglass reinforced composite printer like the ones that Markforged makes. Most of the stuff I print is used as components for larger machines, so strength/durability is what I seek the most.

Other than bed size, are there any other significant differences between the mk3 and mini?

I have 4 prusa MK3's (1 with the mmu2) and 2 prusa mini's - I want to get a resin printer soon. and I am waiting for prusa to release the mk4 and/or the XL

Thanks, same!


I have a few, the main ones I use are the Sindoh 3DWOX and Elegoo Mercury Plus. I very recently purchased a Makerbot Method, still waiting for it to be shipped. I mainly purchased it as it’s got a heated enclosure and the hot end can run stable at higher temps than most printers, which is perfect for Nylon, CF, ASA, PC. The next printer type I want to purchase is one that will print PEEK.

What printer do you use? Love seeing more 3D Printing in Bitcoin.

welcome! always good to see another printer here!

Alternatively, you can give me an idea of how much you're looking to spend on a print(s) and I can give you a quick rundown on what would be possible. Of course, doing more together would reduce the costs for all if done at the same time since it would involve less setup and logistics so something to keep in mind.

Correct, I can do these anywhere as long as we can come to an agreement on shipping terms (customs/duties etc, im sure it will depend on where im shipping to)

And yes, ASA would be the filament that I'm able to currently do with the highest temperature resistance, although I will say that recently I've seen that properly annealed PLA can actually stand up just about the same.

In regards to the post-processing, yes technically they're separate services but what I'd like to offer is more of a comprehensive solution that fits what you're trying to get printed. I guess I'm half doing this for potential earnings from it, but the other half is just to help the community out where I can through offering this service. In terms of rates, it would ultimately depend on the complexity, dimensions, density of the print but I can say that if you were to shop around im sure I'd be at the top of the list. I guess a part of me wants to offer this to help continue spreading the word about 3d printing, as I strongly believe it is a technology that will greatly change our future.

With all this being said, don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you want to see what I can do for you. If nothing else, you can ask me any questions about your own prints and I'd be more than happy to try and help. I've been doing this for a while, so I just may be able to help out a little

Just to be clear, this isn't limited to those in the US, like most of your other threads?
^{- I just recently ordered one [haven't arrived yet] from one of the known users in here and I'd probably order one [if you'd ship outside the US] by next month [just to compare their qualities].}

Shouldn't it be under the ASA instead?

I believe that's a separate service, am I right? How much is the hourly rate for those?
^{- While you're at it, you might want to also mention the hourly rate [regardless of the filament types] for the printing part.}

I'm sure there are various services you can use for 3d prints, however I'm offering high quality 3D prints in primarily ASA, PETG, and Carbon fiber PLA. These are usually much more difficult to print for most, and given that I've been doing this for a while now and have the proper equipment to print these more specialized filaments, I figured I'd offer my services to anyone that wants it. I can also do normal PLA if you really want. Here are some details on the filaments I'm offering:

ASA
--
Revised version of ABS plastic with the following characteristics: UV Resistant, Weather resistant, high thermal resistance, Structurally rigid, high tensile strength
Main uses: Outdoor parts, parts that will be in sunlight, car parts, drone parts

PETG
--
A form of PET plastic with the following characteristics: High impact, heat, and solvent resistance, smooth surface finish
Main uses: Chemical resistant containers, heat resistant parts, food industry

Carbon Fiber PLA
--
PLA infused with carbon fiber strands which increases overall strength and stiffness of the part while retaining the ease of printability of PLA
Main uses: parts needing high rigidity while maintaining detail properties of PLA, drone parts

--

The largest print surface I have is 210mm x 190mm x 200mm. I use a heated bed as well as a heated enclosure, which makes printing filament such as ASA no problem. I'm also able to offer custom CAD if needed, but I'll create a separate post under services when I have the time for it. If you're needing a part made, just send me a PM and we can discuss a little further before I provide you with a quote. I've printed hundreds, if not thousands of prints so here's just a few of my latest prints for others:





Lastly, I do post-processing on the parts which is something most places won't do beyond the very basics. I can do sanding/deburring, heat treating/annealing, all the way to vapor forming ASA for a mirror-like finish. Let me know what you need and I'm sure we can work something out.
