Replacement parts. I downgraded to a 10x10 build bed because most of the parts I print are not even this size and I can store that thing on the book shelf where it doesn't take too much space for the 90% of the year that I am not using it. And btw my laser printer is even used less often, so I downgraded it to a small b/w laser that can fit right next to the 3D printer.

3D printing gays only print toys.
WRONG! 3D printing gays only print """"toys"""" who are toxic and literally NOT to be used as toys because how toxic they are.
And these """""toys""""" cost more then when you go to the store and buy some.
3D printing is literally a plot for moronic SÖY gayots to poison themselves with microplastics.
The need for INFERIOR (BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT IS 3D PRINTED IS INFERIOR TO INJECTION MOLDED PLASTICS) toxic plastic crap is so small a to be non existent.

Because since the begining of the universe it takes X energy to melt metal or plastic and this has never changed.
You do not seriously think that humans discovering light based communication and light emitting screens is even comparable to working with materials who any other material
Same amount of energy to melt it since the beginning of the universe.
And you are only a middle class gayot living in your pod.
Real 3d prints look like ass unless you take the time to sand them off and polish them, and even then they still look kinda like ass because there's often places you can't reach.
Also
A printer that "just werks" is too expensive, yes. The ones that require tons of attention aren't, but normies don't want to deal with all the extra bullshit. They want it to just print the thing.
This, and the fact its too much of a novelty, even if you wanted to use it for good stuff you need a specific material that doesnt work on cheap printers. also the affordable printers are too small to do anything interesting with unless you want to hack your model apart. i remember trying to use a 3d print service for quick parts a while back and they wanted 500+ bucks
where did they fail? For prototypes in companies and private use they are more popular than ever.
They're cheaper, faster, better, and more popular than they've ever been. How is that "failing"?

The FDM patent by Stratasys didn't expire until 2009 so after that is when you really saw an explosion on the hobbyist market.

3D printing is exactly as practical as spinning your own pottery. You could invest $500 in equipment and $20 in materials for that little thing you want, and spend 2 days making it (after spending 6 months practicing to get good enough to make it)... or you could go to the store and buy it for $7.
The guys who like 3D printing do it as a hobby, as a novelty. It's not actually useful. Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now. It's better than it was 10 years ago, but it's still just a gimmick right now.
depends on what parts are we talking about and how good you are with handiwork
using only basic tools you can find in your average garage you could: >carve it out of wood >cut it from a piece of plywood or sheet metal >sculpt it from self hardening clay >make a papercraft model reinforced with epoxy >carve it out of styrofoam and reinforce the surface with paper or fiberglass >mold it entirely out of epoxy with filler mixed in >cast it out of aluminum
>Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now.
That's more or less been my experience so far. Other than the size of course.
A huge number of people including myself use them as tools for prototyping or building one-off parts. You probably just suck at cad or have no hobbies that don't involve staring at a screen.
Only literal drooling morons ever believed that 3d printers would be used for mass production.

>Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now
still doesn't make sense to own one unless you need to create several products per day
shared 3d printers in libraries/hacklabs/etc. make sense
It's a tinkerers hobby indeed if you look at it from a single person's point of view. Still it's amazing that you can create custom solutions to real life problems with it. Same could be said about a CNC machine however there are some geometries that are impossible to manufacture without additive manufacturing techniques (i.e. FDM, Resin, laser sintering, etc.). So in a way the tech is revolutionary.
>however there are some geometries that are impossible to manufacture without additive manufacturing
Yes and the number of that that anyone needs especially from FDM is literally ZERO!
>Noo I made this wall hook that is made from impossible to injection mold geometries
And literally useless since no one needs a wall hook who is like this. Literally everyone is happy with a injection molded one.

plastic's kinda shitty and they give off boat loads of toxic fumes
if they found out a way to do this with ceramics or by sintering metals or something it would have taken off for certain applications, but you can't even print something as simple as a proper hard nylon gear with these shits
>they give off boat loads of toxic fumes
It depends what you're doing. Resin printers are absolutely toxic and there's no way around that. For regular printers, if you're printing in PLA there's no toxic fumes.
>if they found out a way to do this with ceramics or by sintering metals or something it would have taken off for certain applications,
That's already a thing anon. It's been around for years now.
>Nylon
HP has even figured out how to print the stuff via inkjet somehow
It's just the normie-grade 3d printers that are "limited" to weaker plastics. Even then, you can modify them to print industrial plastics pretty well
> just the normie-grade 3d printers that are "limited" to weaker plastics
Typically a matter of replacing the print head and having an enclosure to limit or control moisture or to maintain steady temperature. Things like that.
I know I've seen some experimentation with wood based filament (I think it was basically wood pulp combined with PLA?), but I don't know how far it went
>ceramics or by sintering metals >sintering metals

Are you hovering over your FDM printer and breathing as deeply as possible right next to the extruder? Are you chugging print resin? Are you sealing every window in your house and running these machines in enclosed spaces around your bed while you sleep? Do you sometimes pour print resin all over your skin and then stand in the sun until it starts burning?
If the answer is no, then you're fine. homosexuals drastically exaggerate the problems with 3d printing because "I don't personally have a use for it at the moment" is not a meaningful argument that will convince people that their hyperbolic hateboner is valid and should be respected. There's even more health hazards and dangerous chemicals that can cause long-term harm from woodworking or building model cars, if basic-b***h safety measures aren't taken... like opening a window, running an air filter, or wearing a respirator and gloves when handling aerosolized chemicals.

Your delusional if you think normies will ever get into stuff this complicated. The only people that will care about 3d printers are engineers, diyers, and maybe some artists.
Most normies didn't have a daisywheel printer in 1984 either. So I guess 2d printers were a failure, they didn't catch on with normies 10 years after hitting the market

it's amazing to see the bearded frick go from from the champion of 3d printing to basically being accused of sandbagging the the market
He made it clear at one point he didn't believe that "home users" (ie people who just want to print and not tinker with the printer) basically didn't deserve fast speeds or advance materials like ABS but that wasn't very publicized ot seems.
the 3d printing subreddit has been flooded with uneducated normies ever since bambu labs released. normies are already doing it, just look at the mountains of capeshit all over thingiverse/printables
The initial expectations for consumer 3D printing were very high, with predictions that it would revolutionize manufacturing and allow consumers to create anything they wanted at home. However, the reality has been more modest. The capabilities of current 3D printers are limited mainly to plastic objects, and the technology has not become as widespread in homes as anticipated. The industry is still growing and evolving, with potential for significant impact in specialized areas and industrial applications, but the vision of 3D printers in every household has not yet materialized. This mismatch between expectations and reality has led to a reassessment of the technology’s role in consumer markets.
Yes and that take was always the moron sensationalist techlet's take. Just like soiboi consumers some people get way too hyped up over things while I am pretty sure that the engineers who laid down the groundwork of 3D printers were a lot more moderate with their expectations of what the technology can do and will be able to do.
The initial hype was for baiting investors and nothing more than that, which was obvious back in the day to anyone with a brain but tards like you were the ones getting all euphoric about this shit.

We're printing jaw scans of our patients and then manufacture the dentures on the 3D printed models, it's the same as classic plaster models, the patient doesn't come into contact with plaster/photopolymer.
Also, those toxins inside the photopolymers are gone once hardened and fully cured, there has been worse shit around in this industry for several decades. >FYI they have pre made teeth to be inserted.
Those aren't printed - they're CNC machined.
The premade teeth to be inserted afterwards, see pic related.
During the initial hype period of 3D printers about 10 years ago I was on a forum with this guy who I suspect was autistic but presented himself as some professional
Anyway I was hyped for 3D printing but I noticed that it was pretty much a glorified hot glue machine
You'd think I fricked his mother. He ranted about how I was clueless about how revolutionary this product was going to be. Every time I brought up that there was no clear use case outside of novelty, he bullshat extreme stretches ("no more need for toys or buying dishes and utensils!)
Eventually when I finally got him to at least admit no one needed one of these in their current form, he still doubled down that they'd be 3D metal printers by 2016 and food printers and that by 2018 (5 years hence) the world would be completely changed and every home would be a factory.
I still didn't see how because there was nothing on the horizon suggesting the home printers were going to improve much beyond plastic novelty, so he blocked me. And in the rest of the thread, he was going on about vague Technological Singularity nonsense related to 3D printers. You'd think he thought they were molecular assemblers.
Haven't seen him since 2016, but goddamn I laugh at that sometimes.

I wonder about that. I've expressed this same desire for a set of perfect teeth that never need to be brushed and somebody chimed in and told me that your bones that these teeth are connected to aren't very strong and getting a full set of implants would put a strain on your jaw. I think it could even fracture it. Also, a set of false teeth are going to be uncanny. You'll either look like The Mask or Jaws from 007. Also, I don't know how the mouth feel would be (rubbing my tongue against these foreign objects in my mouth)

This isn't the 1800s any more. Everyone has a different mouth and needs a unique set of teeth to match. The teeth are very throughly cleaned since they have to be painted before they are given to the patient. If there were to be a law suit they wouldn't sue us they would go after the companies that make the machines and the doctors that approved since they have more money.
The 3d printed teeth are only a temporary set anyway for a couple of months so they can heal before a permanent set of pmma or Zirconia can be inserted.

You sound like such an autistic sperg
It's not always both that need replacement so a custom set is needed to fully align with the other set of teeth >Then why the frick even insert these things in the first place?
The 'they' being the patient needs to heal before a permanent set can be used to make any adjustments to how their tissue healed for a more comfortable fit.
But it's really pointless explaining anything to you since you will just sperg out on the next reply about your inability to read or understand.

Others explained to you also how moronic it is to insert resin into human mouths.
My CEO literally had us make a resin 3D printed prototype of an upcoming product, with a custom circuit board and took it to prospective clients and investors. It took like 2 weeks to do everything.
This wouldn't have been possible without our mechanical engineer (a 70 year old man) and 3D printing.
Anyone who can't design parts shouldn't own a 3D printer.
99% of people can't model and are incapable of learning to. If you can't model then a 3D printer can only make things other people have made, which removes every single 'custom fit' use case which is what most people would want one for anyways. Anything general purpose is already manufactured and available in a store cheaper and higher quality, which just leaves hobbyists who want to have fun printing models
the one pictured in OP is chinese botnet but you can run it offline with just an SD card so idgaf. It's probably the best hobbyist printer on the market.
There are 100% open source printers though. Hardware, software, firmware, everything
Most of them allows to be overwritten with custom firmwares and parts, and you can even build your own 3d printer if you're autistic enough.
RepRap project was created appositely because 2 guys were fed up with closed source CNC printers.
I'd say that technology wise, 3d pritners are the most opensource projects currently available.
>plastic junk
Well, there's your problem. You're supposed to be designing shit in blender and then printing out your creations. I used my 3D printer almost exclusively to print custom parts and tools that I couldn't get at the store. You don't have to be printing figurines or whatever you were using it for.
how exactly did they fail? i dont personally own one but my library has them and i use them a few times a year to make tiny parts that i need. mostly computer shot but i also used it to replace a broken handle on one of my home appliances. id say theyre very nifty and cool. obviously i wouldnt buy one for my own home but i dont remember them ever being marketed as something every home needs to have.
wasn't anker getting into 3d printers?
feels like the push it needs is for a known company to start offering them. there's still a bunch of nerd shit you need to learn to set one up and even then it's basically a neverending lesson.
You can get a kilo of pla for like $14
A single anime figurine or action figure cost more than that
A single action figure might be 50 grams a kilo is 1000 grams so that's 200 toys
I threw my ender 3 that broke in the trash, kept the motors and bought a ender k1
I'd sell toys but the problem with 3d printers is that they look unpolished. Still need to look into metal plating and acetone finish
>A single anime figurine or action figure cost more than that
LOL. The price you pay for the factory made on includes >Not being 3D printed toxins >Actually having moving parts that work and do not break in 3 minutes.
They are doing fine.
The people who were going to buy one have one, or many.
Most normal people have no reason to get one and if they did would have no idea how to use it.
all the good shit like glass and metal is locked behind patents and thus too expansive for hobby stuff. Glass is even worse than metal there are tons of good applications for custom lenses but the mafia refuses to give us good way to make optics ourselves there is hardly any material on it out there vs metal.
>all the good shit like glass and metal is
You can not break the laws of physicks. >glass and metal
Look the middle class pod dweller thinks he can afford something that will have the energy to melt metal or EVEN GLASS!!!!!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
glass isn't that bad no need for high class lasers you can do it with normal printers read up on the state of glass printing its very good now but like I said mostly 1-2 corps holding all the patents and taking their sweet ass time.
Metal isn't that hard it should be possible to get one in 10k but they love to have the excuse of charging >50k. Another decade perhaps maybe then we can play with 2000s toys...
>glass isn't that bad
AHAHAH. DO you understand how people work with glass?
Do you understand why they are blowing glass? And in what state the glass is?
Or are you seriously thinking >Here I did 3D print this class cup for you >It is not transparent >and it can not hold water since it leaks all over the place >Oh and it chips micro glass all the time so enjoy your early Silicosis >THIS IS LIKE START TREK REPLICATORS!!!
I was expecting you to actually have a machine that works glass not a fricken moronic 3D printing glass particle by glass particle moronic 3D printer.
>The state
Do you fricken understand what levels of electricity you need to melt glass? OR Metals? Do you understand that it is not going to work on your limited budget wage slave?
Do you understand for this to be even remotely financially viable we need to get another increase in energy to 1400% or so?
>Muh patents >muh metal >Muh glass
Or you can literally get a CnC machine and make metal parts no problem. Metal parts who are not silicosis levels of toxic since they are fricken 3D printed selective sintering!

SLA is still a messy clusterfrick, and SLS are still quite a way away for the home market, if any company has any intention of being the target of mesothelioma lawsuits fifty years from now.
They fell into the same idealistic trap as what people thought the Internet or Blockchain will do. But people don't publish their own ideas, they don't play their own bank, and they don't print their own stuff. In the end division of labor with specialization still beats "democratization."

Sounds like you need to learn how to cad.
The utility in a 3d printer is in making personalized solutions, not downloading garbage from thingiverse and filling your house with macroplastics.
My Dell Laser printer is nice and prints when I say so.
Hard to argue with it.
I just press print.
It prints.
I replace toner once like... every two years.
I print pictures and stuff.
does fine.
Just like my BambuLabs P1S
>failed
I had an industrial machine down one day. I modeled a part and printed it out and had the machine back up and running in about 4 hours. Otherwise it would have been down for weeks waiting on the manufacturer to get the part to me. In what way is that failed?
Too expensive.
this. the price never came down...
You can get an Ender 3 on Amazon for $169.
If you think that's cheap enough then you're what's wrong with the industry.
Maybe you should stop being poor. Name anything else for $169 that gives you the ability to manufacture anything in your house.
You can get cheap ass ones for less than $50.
But you get what you pay for.
>You can get cheap ass ones for less than $50.
>But you get what you pay for.
what could i do with one other than make star wars toys and shit like that which i emphatically do not want to do?
Replacement parts. I downgraded to a 10x10 build bed because most of the parts I print are not even this size and I can store that thing on the book shelf where it doesn't take too much space for the 90% of the year that I am not using it. And btw my laser printer is even used less often, so I downgraded it to a small b/w laser that can fit right next to the 3D printer.
>Replacement parts.
Literally for what?
I like examples.
>Ah yes I love to relax with the repaired 3D printed door for the TV remote

BASED.
3D printing gays only print toys.
WRONG! 3D printing gays only print """"toys"""" who are toxic and literally NOT to be used as toys because how toxic they are.
And these """""toys""""" cost more then when you go to the store and buy some.
3D printing is literally a plot for moronic SÖY gayots to poison themselves with microplastics.
The need for INFERIOR (BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT IS 3D PRINTED IS INFERIOR TO INJECTION MOLDED PLASTICS) toxic plastic crap is so small a to be non existent.

Because since the begining of the universe it takes X energy to melt metal or plastic and this has never changed.
You do not seriously think that humans discovering light based communication and light emitting screens is even comparable to working with materials who any other material
Same amount of energy to melt it since the beginning of the universe.
And you are only a middle class gayot living in your pod.
The bamboo is but the k1 is good and there's the piece of shit ender 3 v3
Real 3d prints look like ass unless you take the time to sand them off and polish them, and even then they still look kinda like ass because there's often places you can't reach.
Also
>3d printers failed
???
A printer that "just werks" is too expensive, yes. The ones that require tons of attention aren't, but normies don't want to deal with all the extra bullshit. They want it to just print the thing.
This, and the fact its too much of a novelty, even if you wanted to use it for good stuff you need a specific material that doesnt work on cheap printers. also the affordable printers are too small to do anything interesting with unless you want to hack your model apart. i remember trying to use a 3d print service for quick parts a while back and they wanted 500+ bucks
>Too expensive.
Try building one with equal capabilities for less, you will fail.
Quidi has a similar offering (x3max or whatever), sans ams. At least the quidi has a heated chamber.
they didn't fail at all
>zoomers too young to remember 3D printers getting hyped up as the next big thing a la AI
It is cheap. Also you get what you pay for.
>didn't singlehandedly bring about total societal revolution

everything gets hyped up that way, more often that not the thing is very useful but not revolutionary
3d printers were revolutionary. It's just that the revolution was mostly constrained to places where actual work is done
Ha. I remember when a builder friend of mine thought that houses will be 3D printed in the future. And guess what? He kept going and still builds today. There's a lesson to be learned there.
There are "3D printed" houses nowadays. Not that many yet here in Europe but they do exist. Just google it.
>comparing 3D printers, an expensive niche item to AI, a technology everyone has access to with a GPU that has applications everywhere
3d printers and gpu are pretty comparable in price
these days the dinky ones are comparable, yeah. but if you want a really good one you're going to be paying prebuilt PC levels of $$$ (read: horrendously overpriced)

Why you you defending 3D printers? We are here to vent over all the propaganda that the 3D printing industry made over all these yeras?
The problem is that their surface is not smooth enough. Everything printed looks shit.
It'll be good when print something in a few minutes and the result is perfectly smooth as shown in the CAD program.
>Everything printed looks shit.
I disagree for some things like resin and metal powder however OK FDM prints look liek shit.

>They got cheap enough to sell to hobbyists. This was heavily advertised but it turns out there wasn't a market.
The FDM patent by Stratasys didn't expire until 2009 so after that is when you really saw an explosion on the hobbyist market.
>he bought the hype
>HOW CAN SOMETHING BE GOOD IF THE MEDIA ISN'T ACTIVELY TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD IT IS???
3D printing is exactly as practical as spinning your own pottery. You could invest $500 in equipment and $20 in materials for that little thing you want, and spend 2 days making it (after spending 6 months practicing to get good enough to make it)... or you could go to the store and buy it for $7.
The guys who like 3D printing do it as a hobby, as a novelty. It's not actually useful. Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now. It's better than it was 10 years ago, but it's still just a gimmick right now.
It's useful for things that you *cant* buy, like fully automatic weapons, specific custom parts, etc.
>or you could go to the store and buy it for $7
What if you can't buy it? Like replacement parts for your synth?
depends on what parts are we talking about and how good you are with handiwork
using only basic tools you can find in your average garage you could:
>carve it out of wood
>cut it from a piece of plywood or sheet metal
>sculpt it from self hardening clay
>make a papercraft model reinforced with epoxy
>carve it out of styrofoam and reinforce the surface with paper or fiberglass
>mold it entirely out of epoxy with filler mixed in
>cast it out of aluminum
>Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now.
That's more or less been my experience so far. Other than the size of course.
A huge number of people including myself use them as tools for prototyping or building one-off parts. You probably just suck at cad or have no hobbies that don't involve staring at a screen.
Only literal drooling morons ever believed that 3d printers would be used for mass production.
I'm thinkin' he isn't very creative or skilled or even engineering minded. Early on I managed to design and 3D printed objects that would have cost me as much as the printer is worth retail.
>and 3D printed objects that would have cost me as much as the printer is worth retail.
Name them.
And show how these magic items are not a moronic joke that fails in days.
only thing that failed is ridicilous idea that everybody should own a 3d printer that is used 0.1% of the time
>Maybe in 10 years there will be a $100 machine that can sit on your desk and just spit out a finished product like how 2D printers do now
still doesn't make sense to own one unless you need to create several products per day
shared 3d printers in libraries/hacklabs/etc. make sense
It's a tinkerers hobby indeed if you look at it from a single person's point of view. Still it's amazing that you can create custom solutions to real life problems with it. Same could be said about a CNC machine however there are some geometries that are impossible to manufacture without additive manufacturing techniques (i.e. FDM, Resin, laser sintering, etc.). So in a way the tech is revolutionary.
>however there are some geometries that are impossible to manufacture without additive manufacturing
Yes and the number of that that anyone needs especially from FDM is literally ZERO!
>Noo I made this wall hook that is made from impossible to injection mold geometries
And literally useless since no one needs a wall hook who is like this. Literally everyone is happy with a injection molded one.
>Noo my impossible to CnC/injection mold geometry on this literally useless toy I made
That is useless.

>Noo ree Muh parts (all are inferior or moronic examples)
>or you could go to the store and buy it for $7.
Yea only the difference is that spinning your own pottery. will not poison you with various shit unlike a 3D printer....
And spinning your own pottery is a real skill, 3D printer gays are like 2D printer gays only more moronic. They get STLs from the internet that other people made and press "print on their machine" this is their skill.
I'm sorry NO their skill is reasoning and fighting with the as backward 3D printer who like a 2D printer will fricken jam and spit out crap.
>WOW I spend 8h to fine tune this 3D printer to work in my climate! WHAT AMAZING SKILLS I HAVE!
All printers are shit.
Silicosis is exceptionally common in people who work with pottery and ceramics.
plastic's kinda shitty and they give off boat loads of toxic fumes
if they found out a way to do this with ceramics or by sintering metals or something it would have taken off for certain applications, but you can't even print something as simple as a proper hard nylon gear with these shits
>they give off boat loads of toxic fumes
It depends what you're doing. Resin printers are absolutely toxic and there's no way around that. For regular printers, if you're printing in PLA there's no toxic fumes.
>PLA
>Deforms at 40°C
The temperaturelet of FDM materials.
>if they found out a way to do this with ceramics or by sintering metals or something it would have taken off for certain applications,
That's already a thing anon. It's been around for years now.
>Nylon
HP has even figured out how to print the stuff via inkjet somehow
It's just the normie-grade 3d printers that are "limited" to weaker plastics. Even then, you can modify them to print industrial plastics pretty well
> just the normie-grade 3d printers that are "limited" to weaker plastics
Typically a matter of replacing the print head and having an enclosure to limit or control moisture or to maintain steady temperature. Things like that.
They ****already**** have 3D printers that use ceramics and ones that use sintering.
>plastic's kinda shitty and they give off boat loads of toxic fumes
That is why we put them in enclosures with filters inside and vent them outside (and maybe even masks when handling resin based prints).
I know I've seen some experimentation with wood based filament (I think it was basically wood pulp combined with PLA?), but I don't know how far it went
>ceramics or by sintering metals
>sintering metals
LOL also toxic as frick. I hope you like your metal powder in lungs poisoning!
All 3D printing is toxic during the manufacturing proces.
Powder = ruin your lungs with powder
Resin = toxic resin no contact with skin! Ventilate! Do not inhale fumes!
FDM = Microplastics from process, do not inhale
Was 3D printing this useless crap worth your health?
>Muh making rocket engines
>Muh 3D printed organs!
Will never come out of the toxic emitting toy you buy.
3D printing gays are delusional!
Source for your this? How long until it kills me?
Are you hovering over your FDM printer and breathing as deeply as possible right next to the extruder? Are you chugging print resin? Are you sealing every window in your house and running these machines in enclosed spaces around your bed while you sleep? Do you sometimes pour print resin all over your skin and then stand in the sun until it starts burning?
If the answer is no, then you're fine. homosexuals drastically exaggerate the problems with 3d printing because "I don't personally have a use for it at the moment" is not a meaningful argument that will convince people that their hyperbolic hateboner is valid and should be respected. There's even more health hazards and dangerous chemicals that can cause long-term harm from woodworking or building model cars, if basic-b***h safety measures aren't taken... like opening a window, running an air filter, or wearing a respirator and gloves when handling aerosolized chemicals.
>Source for your this?
Look up the research on this.
>If I do not drop dead after 4 years of doing this I will be fine
>I do not care if I get cancer 10 years from now.
Both types of 3d printers have been around for over a decade. Where's the sudden surge in cancer, homosexual?
Pro tip: if you can smell plastics then you're inhaling their fumes. Plastics are highly estrogenic so unless you want to become a woman, which you will never be, don't inhale those fricking fumes.
where did they fail? For prototypes in companies and private use they are more popular than ever.
They're cheaper, faster, better, and more popular than they've ever been. How is that "failing"?
If the normies aren't doing it, you put your reputation at risk by admitting you do it. Until it catches on to the point that you can have pleasant conversation over it with almost anyone, it's not a success.
Why did you think normalgays would get into cnc?
normalgays love consensual non-consent so i think what we just learned is that we have to somehow get women into 3d printing. need silicone printing so you can print your own bad dragon 15" spined dire wolf wiener
1. 3d print direwolf dick mold
2. pour silicone
3. ???
4. profit
>If the normies aren't doing it, you put your reputation at risk by admitting you do it
in what social context do you risk your reputation by admitting you do 3d printing, unless you're into 3d printing streamer feet or some shit?
Your delusional if you think normies will ever get into stuff this complicated. The only people that will care about 3d printers are engineers, diyers, and maybe some artists.
Most normies didn't have a daisywheel printer in 1984 either. So I guess 2d printers were a failure, they didn't catch on with normies 10 years after hitting the market
holy shit, how much of a fricking stupid pussy are you? grow a brain and some balls, homosexual

Congrats anon! You're the living proof that everyone is good at something.
Bambulab printers like in the OP have already really penetrated the normie barrier and it's made talking about 3D printing insufferable for the last year or so

I wonder what Prusa thinks every time he sees a maker video with a BambuLab machine where there was once a Prusa.
It's all of them.
He's been utterly replaced.
it's amazing to see the bearded frick go from from the champion of 3d printing to basically being accused of sandbagging the the market
He made it clear at one point he didn't believe that "home users" (ie people who just want to print and not tinker with the printer) basically didn't deserve fast speeds or advance materials like ABS but that wasn't very publicized ot seems.
the 3d printing subreddit has been flooded with uneducated normies ever since bambu labs released. normies are already doing it, just look at the mountains of capeshit all over thingiverse/printables
The initial expectations for consumer 3D printing were very high, with predictions that it would revolutionize manufacturing and allow consumers to create anything they wanted at home. However, the reality has been more modest. The capabilities of current 3D printers are limited mainly to plastic objects, and the technology has not become as widespread in homes as anticipated. The industry is still growing and evolving, with potential for significant impact in specialized areas and industrial applications, but the vision of 3D printers in every household has not yet materialized. This mismatch between expectations and reality has led to a reassessment of the technology’s role in consumer markets.
Did they believe that they'd be able to 3d print microchips or something?
thank you ChatGPT.
Yes and that take was always the moron sensationalist techlet's take. Just like soiboi consumers some people get way too hyped up over things while I am pretty sure that the engineers who laid down the groundwork of 3D printers were a lot more moderate with their expectations of what the technology can do and will be able to do.
The initial hype was for baiting investors and nothing more than that, which was obvious back in the day to anyone with a brain but tards like you were the ones getting all euphoric about this shit.

>You never worked in dentistry.
This job really isn't special enough to call someone larping lmao.
>get ready for a lawsuit I hope the people you give this realize it is 3D printed toxins that will poison them.
We're printing jaw scans of our patients and then manufacture the dentures on the 3D printed models, it's the same as classic plaster models, the patient doesn't come into contact with plaster/photopolymer.
Also, those toxins inside the photopolymers are gone once hardened and fully cured, there has been worse shit around in this industry for several decades.
>FYI they have pre made teeth to be inserted.
Those aren't printed - they're CNC machined.
The premade teeth to be inserted afterwards, see pic related.
During the initial hype period of 3D printers about 10 years ago I was on a forum with this guy who I suspect was autistic but presented himself as some professional
Anyway I was hyped for 3D printing but I noticed that it was pretty much a glorified hot glue machine
You'd think I fricked his mother. He ranted about how I was clueless about how revolutionary this product was going to be. Every time I brought up that there was no clear use case outside of novelty, he bullshat extreme stretches ("no more need for toys or buying dishes and utensils!)
Eventually when I finally got him to at least admit no one needed one of these in their current form, he still doubled down that they'd be 3D metal printers by 2016 and food printers and that by 2018 (5 years hence) the world would be completely changed and every home would be a factory.
I still didn't see how because there was nothing on the horizon suggesting the home printers were going to improve much beyond plastic novelty, so he blocked me. And in the rest of the thread, he was going on about vague Technological Singularity nonsense related to 3D printers. You'd think he thought they were molecular assemblers.
Haven't seen him since 2016, but goddamn I laugh at that sometimes.
>3d printers failed
The frick does that even mean?
They exist, you can buy one, millions of people use them every day, how did they "fail"?
Just because you may not personally use one or because they aren't being used in whatever hyper specific moronic capacity you expected them to be doesn't make them any less of what they are.
>The frick does that even mean?
The same thing it means when anyone says that a product failed?
quit posting, moron.
say that to my face not online and see what happens
There are still multiple brands of 3d printers available to buy with better specs than ever. There is no evidence that it "failed"
they didn't fail. You can go buy one from your local walmart. You can't even buy a linux desktop from walmart.
>You can't even buy a linux desktop from walmart.
Autist KISSless | IQfyatekeepers are not amused!
Expectation: print your own chinese plasticslop instead of buying on on amazon
Reality: make shitty custom tabletop game figurines or maybe shitty guns that can pass a metal detector which is based but a very niche use
>reality: make a few brackets or handles one time
Fixed.
Literally what can I make with these things but a gun that will blow off my hand and put me in jail for ten million years
You guys don't know about ghost guns
I use resin 3d printers everyday in my business. We do full arch teeth replacement in the same day. We do a few scans remove all your teeth. Design a new set and have the teeth 3d printed, painted, and inserted.
>remove all your teeth
Well for some folks that totals to only 4 teeth
Frick teeth, absolute shit that is proof that God isn't real. If I had the money I would get them all ripped out and replaced with titanium teeth
Yeah, this is what I crave. White bread, grains and sugar completely destroy our teeth.
I wonder about that. I've expressed this same desire for a set of perfect teeth that never need to be brushed and somebody chimed in and told me that your bones that these teeth are connected to aren't very strong and getting a full set of implants would put a strain on your jaw. I think it could even fracture it. Also, a set of false teeth are going to be uncanny. You'll either look like The Mask or Jaws from 007. Also, I don't know how the mouth feel would be (rubbing my tongue against these foreign objects in my mouth)
implants need to be brushed as carefully as teeth
and implants won't last forever
You can fix god's mistake.
Intredasting! How are the new teeth anchored in the gums/jaw bones?
There are anchors drilled into the bone that the teeth are screwed into.
Nice LARP moron.
You never worked in dentistry.
FYI they have pre made teeth to be inserted.
Also if you are really doing this get ready for a lawsuit I hope the people you give this realize it is 3D printed toxins that will poison them.
This isn't the 1800s any more. Everyone has a different mouth and needs a unique set of teeth to match. The teeth are very throughly cleaned since they have to be painted before they are given to the patient. If there were to be a law suit they wouldn't sue us they would go after the companies that make the machines and the doctors that approved since they have more money.
The 3d printed teeth are only a temporary set anyway for a couple of months so they can heal before a permanent set of pmma or Zirconia can be inserted.
>Resin in mouth
Those poor, poor people
>Those poor, poor people
Like I was saying toxic and lawsuit.
AHAHAHAHA
look here you moron!
>Noo these people need their ultra special snowflake tooth shape that belongs on a circus freak.
No moron at this point a generic tooth implant is better.
Also not toxic!
>This isn't the 1800s any more
Works perfectly in the 2010s you dumb frick.
>Everyone has a different mouth and needs a unique set of teeth to match.
Not true. Besides the dentist can work the ceramic in the mouth for some cases.
>The 3d printed teeth are only a temporary set anyway for a couple of months so they can heal before a permanent set of pmma or Zirconia can be inserted.
The frick?!
For a single tooth it might be fine but it still won't be as good a custom one. The dentist I work for only does full arch replacement. pic related is what it looks like.
>The frick?!
What's the confusion?
I can't tell if you're genuinely a moron or just pretending
>a custom one.
No it is not. Unless your client is a circus freak.
>For a single tooth it might be fine
No you moron if they have no teeth you can literally insert generic ones.
> The dentist I work for only does full arch replacement
Once more unless the mouth belongs to a circus freak you can use generic ones.
> The dentist
Every competent dentist can simply use that quick drying dents cement (or whatever it name is) to sculpt a tooth. And then fix it with the drill.
I know this because I was to competent dentists.
> only does full arch replacement.
AKA a incompetent idiot.
>What's the confusion?
Did the bot break?

>>The 3d printed teeth are only a temporary set anyway for a couple of months so they can heal before a permanent set of pmma or Zirconia can be inserted.
Then why the frick even insert these things in the first place?
>b-b-b need to eat
There are generic ones they can use. You are a clown.
You sound like such an autistic sperg
It's not always both that need replacement so a custom set is needed to fully align with the other set of teeth
>Then why the frick even insert these things in the first place?
The 'they' being the patient needs to heal before a permanent set can be used to make any adjustments to how their tissue healed for a more comfortable fit.
But it's really pointless explaining anything to you since you will just sperg out on the next reply about your inability to read or understand.
>The 'they' being the patient needs to heal before a permanent set can be used to make any adjustments to how their tissue healed for a more comfortable fit.
There are generic ones for this.
>You sound like such an autistic sperg
Others explained to you also how moronic it is to insert resin into human mouths.
you can make your own onahole molds and create infinite onaholes.
How did 3D printers fail?
iPhone isn't a 3d printer yet. 3d printers are a flop.
Can confirm. Tried to chat with a 3D printer and the chat bubble was gray! Not even green, gray! How gross is that?
Pretty sure IQfy3dpg/ exists and is still active
My CEO literally had us make a resin 3D printed prototype of an upcoming product, with a custom circuit board and took it to prospective clients and investors. It took like 2 weeks to do everything.
This wouldn't have been possible without our mechanical engineer (a 70 year old man) and 3D printing.
Anyone who can't design parts shouldn't own a 3D printer.
99% of people can't model and are incapable of learning to. If you can't model then a 3D printer can only make things other people have made, which removes every single 'custom fit' use case which is what most people would want one for anyways. Anything general purpose is already manufactured and available in a store cheaper and higher quality, which just leaves hobbyists who want to have fun printing models
Can you actually drive these 3d printers entirely with free and open source software or are they all botnet?
the one pictured in OP is chinese botnet but you can run it offline with just an SD card so idgaf. It's probably the best hobbyist printer on the market.
There are 100% open source printers though. Hardware, software, firmware, everything
Most of them allows to be overwritten with custom firmwares and parts, and you can even build your own 3d printer if you're autistic enough.
RepRap project was created appositely because 2 guys were fed up with closed source CNC printers.
I'd say that technology wise, 3d pritners are the most opensource projects currently available.
the rocketry club at my uni uses them quite a lot
i print guns Black person
3D Hobbyists would rather not this catch on, as that would compromise the affordability
Enterprises benefitting from 3D printing would rather not this catch on, as that would compromise profits.
>3d printers failed
why does everygay feel the need to make a post like OP

>Why what were they expecting?
i have enough plastic junk in my home already.
>i have enough plastic junk in my home already.
All of this.
>plastic junk
Well, there's your problem. You're supposed to be designing shit in blender and then printing out your creations. I used my 3D printer almost exclusively to print custom parts and tools that I couldn't get at the store. You don't have to be printing figurines or whatever you were using it for.
how exactly did they fail? i dont personally own one but my library has them and i use them a few times a year to make tiny parts that i need. mostly computer shot but i also used it to replace a broken handle on one of my home appliances. id say theyre very nifty and cool. obviously i wouldnt buy one for my own home but i dont remember them ever being marketed as something every home needs to have.
wasn't anker getting into 3d printers?
feels like the push it needs is for a known company to start offering them. there's still a bunch of nerd shit you need to learn to set one up and even then it's basically a neverending lesson.
IMHO They are really for engineering types. Artistic types that are willing to get learned in the technical aspects too.
You can get a kilo of pla for like $14
A single anime figurine or action figure cost more than that
A single action figure might be 50 grams a kilo is 1000 grams so that's 200 toys
I threw my ender 3 that broke in the trash, kept the motors and bought a ender k1
I'd sell toys but the problem with 3d printers is that they look unpolished. Still need to look into metal plating and acetone finish
If you're printing minis, you want to switch to resin printing friend. It's inexpensive enough and way way better.
>A single anime figurine or action figure cost more than that
LOL. The price you pay for the factory made on includes
>Not being 3D printed toxins
>Actually having moving parts that work and do not break in 3 minutes.
PS:
>I want toys
Seek professional help!
Yeah, but you still gotta paint it. Which is why 3D printing took off in the tabletop space
They are doing fine.
The people who were going to buy one have one, or many.
Most normal people have no reason to get one and if they did would have no idea how to use it.
They literally didn't.
all the good shit like glass and metal is locked behind patents and thus too expansive for hobby stuff. Glass is even worse than metal there are tons of good applications for custom lenses but the mafia refuses to give us good way to make optics ourselves there is hardly any material on it out there vs metal.
>all the good shit like glass and metal is
You can not break the laws of physicks.
>glass and metal
Look the middle class pod dweller thinks he can afford something that will have the energy to melt metal or EVEN GLASS!!!!!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
glass isn't that bad no need for high class lasers you can do it with normal printers read up on the state of glass printing its very good now but like I said mostly 1-2 corps holding all the patents and taking their sweet ass time.
Metal isn't that hard it should be possible to get one in 10k but they love to have the excuse of charging >50k. Another decade perhaps maybe then we can play with 2000s toys...
>glass isn't that bad
AHAHAH. DO you understand how people work with glass?
Do you understand why they are blowing glass? And in what state the glass is?
Or are you seriously thinking
>Here I did 3D print this class cup for you
>It is not transparent
>and it can not hold water since it leaks all over the place
>Oh and it chips micro glass all the time so enjoy your early Silicosis
>THIS IS LIKE START TREK REPLICATORS!!!
I was expecting you to actually have a machine that works glass not a fricken moronic 3D printing glass particle by glass particle moronic 3D printer.
>The state
Do you fricken understand what levels of electricity you need to melt glass? OR Metals? Do you understand that it is not going to work on your limited budget wage slave?
Do you understand for this to be even remotely financially viable we need to get another increase in energy to 1400% or so?
>Muh patents
>muh metal
>Muh glass
Or you can literally get a CnC machine and make metal parts no problem. Metal parts who are not silicosis levels of toxic since they are fricken 3D printed selective sintering!

WEW LAD!
And what will you do with these useless glass objects?
They literally can not hold water in them....
Less shapes then traditionally made...
Costs $$$ to operate....
WTF?!?
>glass
OK I did my research
Like WOW.
Do I even need to comment how bad this is?
>Look it is the same sausage 3D print lines like in every 3D print!
>Only now it literally can not hold any liquid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally inferior to things you can buy in the store or you know learn to work with glass!
Also how the frick you think is the glass heated to this point? Magic?
Get ready to sell your home to make this machine melt glass.
Also the icing on the cake is that unlike every other glass making method this one can do LESS geometry then traditional methods. No supports = less possible geometries.
What do you think they were expecting? Boomers literally thought they were going to have star trek in their lifetime, this is supposed to be muh matter replicator. Also see the obsession with sending some shit to space every 10 years and then deciding that's a waste of time and money since it's not star trek, it's rocks
Perfect use case for ip counter right here
>Why
because economy of scale won (again)
I assume your talking domestic.
Have they failed or just run into the limitations of filament fdm?
SLA is still a messy clusterfrick, and SLS are still quite a way away for the home market, if any company has any intention of being the target of mesothelioma lawsuits fifty years from now.
Thanks OP, was just about to buy a resin printer but you saved me
Do not buy a resin printer unless you're willing to dedicate an entire desk to it.
t. learned the hard way.
Was planning to set it outside on my balcony but OP saved me
They fell into the same idealistic trap as what people thought the Internet or Blockchain will do. But people don't publish their own ideas, they don't play their own bank, and they don't print their own stuff. In the end division of labor with specialization still beats "democratization."
I made mold for my silicone mask. I couldn't get it to make me a box mold so I just put it on top of clay. It looks like I took a big shit and came all over it lol.

I hate printers so much its unreal
My Dell Laser printer is nice and prints when I say so.
Hard to argue with it.
I just press print.
It prints.
I replace toner once like... every two years.
I print pictures and stuff.
does fine.

Failed? FAILED??
I designed and built a few computers like this, 3d printing is fun if you're willing to put in the time to learn CAD or sculpting.
>failed
I had an industrial machine down one day. I modeled a part and printed it out and had the machine back up and running in about 4 hours. Otherwise it would have been down for weeks waiting on the manufacturer to get the part to me. In what way is that failed?
