Topic: 3D Printers around Buffalo, NY

I know only two other people with 3D printers in my area and would like to find others. Particularly would like to find someone with a Form1 or other type of high resolution machine. I have some models that really need more print space and invisible layer lines as well as can handle overhangs really well. I'd rather know someone than go to shapeways or even a local 3D printing service because they'd have overhead costs an individual wouldn't. Anyone in my area have a machine and is willing to occasionally rent out its use for some projects?

I dont believe there is a 3d printer format that does not have visible layer lines to some extent. Even the form 1 has them. You cant see them well in photos but I aasure upon visual inspection they are there. As long as the process deals with layers there will be lines.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

I have an Objet printed item and I can't see layers at all. Size and overhang non-issue are my main focal points.
