Also, if one needs quality not acheivable on current cheap machines there are still valid reasons to get one:
- Use your cheap printer to prototype&#x2F;iterate&#x2F;validate your model
- Then send it off to a printing service, to have it made in high-quality plastic&#x2F;metal&#x2F;clay<p>This way you can combine rapid iteration with high-quality production. When designing new parts, I often do up to 5 iterations a day. Sometimes engaging up 3x 500 USD printers at the same time, to keep iteration time down.
