Topic: Solidoodle Workbench (my next project ?)

Hi Guys,

I'm new (ish) to the world of 3d printing. I have one of the Eaglemoss Vector 3 (monthly magazine) printers that I have built, and over time have done various mods (bearings / cooling fan etc.) to it to improve its operation to a point where it is not a bad little printer.

For my next project I have been offered a very dusty Workbench by a mate who bought it second hand a while ago and never really got on with it.

He says it works but how well etc. I don't know and I have been looking for somewhere I can come to ask questions, and get advice on software / hardware / parts / mods & upgrades etc.

Is this the place ?

It looks like a nice printer but needs some TLC, can I call on you guys for help when I need it ?

Thank you,

Mark

In a word yes !!

IMHO dust it off clean it up tune it up and print with it. then as things break or need attention then upgrade those parts . And do not worry that it is a bit of an orphan . The solidoodle  is an open source machine and parts should not be a problem.

this place should have what you need . https://www.printitindustries.com/


The lawsey carriage and e3d hot ends are common upgrades.

Soliddoodle 4 stock w glass bed------Folger Tech Prusa 2020 upgraded to and titan /aero extruder mirror bed
