Topic: Hello from Printerion

Hi there,

I am new to this forum. I believe that 3D printing is an awesome technology and I want to be a part of it - that's why I'm here smile I know that 3D printing brings us to manufacture revolution I just want to say hello and... ask where to start? I know a little about 3D printing and I am ready to learn more and broaden my knowledge. Any amazing news lately? wink

Hi! Welcome to the forum! I guess the first step into the world of 3D printing is to acquire a printer smile Do you already have one?

If you are going to promote something, just be upfront about it.

Re: Hello from Printerion

I don't want to promote something. I don't deny about my webpage but I know that you can teach me much more than I can do on my own. That's why I say hello and I'm sure that I will be involved in every interesting news.

Coming up to 3D printer -  I have friendly company with 3D printer, but it's hard to do all the cool things asking every day about somethings wink That's why we're looking for our own 3D printer. But we haven't enough money for Replicator2 or someting like this. Maybe you could suggest a cheaper one?

Re: Hello from Printerion

We're pretty much an all-purpose forum.  Our original mandate was SD users, but I gotta tell you, the differences aren't that major since a number of our members have modded the box to so many different components.  The only thing that I can't really tell you about is some of the professional machines, but I believe some of the others have worked with them in some fashion.

In order to recommend we'd need to know a few things...

1)  Budget
2)  Technical skill level of the users
3)  Basic purpose of the machine
    a) Prototype production where precision is key
    b) Art/novelty production where finishing is an afterthought
    c)  Learning where anything goes

This gives us an idea of where to focus your attention.

Heh, you'd be surprised how many people keep asking the same question and wonder why the smartass response always comes out. lol
