Topic: Path forward
Greetings all,
I've got one of the SD Press units that was delivered via the first shipments. I've used it a couple of times, but life has gotten in the way (aka too many hobbies....) and I've not fooled with it in over a year.
The unit is box stock as delivered, other than tightening the myriad of set screws that were loose upon delivery.
With Solidoodle's demise I've got a couple of questions for the brain trust:
Is it worth the time/money to go through and do some/all of the mod's developed by MacGyverX? Reading casually, it seems like the mod's will be a couple of hundred $. Is this money well spent. In other words, am I putting lipstick on a pig?
Is there a subset of the mods that will get the unit useable on a weekly basis without being optimum? If I could get it done for less than $100 I would definitely go that route.
If it's not worth the time/money, what path do I take to move forward to have a 3D printing capability? I'm a design engineer and am nearing retirement and would very much like to have this capability for when I have time to "create". Is it wise to wait for the market to mature a bit?
Thanks in advance for any sage advice you might have to offer
