My New 3D Printer

It came semi assembled from Czechoslovakia. The print heads and some electronics had to be put together. For someone who is not very electronically minded, I am proud of my achievement in getting it finished without any errors. (so far)

Printed in one go using 4 different colours all at the same time. No stopping to change filaments anymore. The small dumpster is the original file. Just upsized the file to print the bigger one.

Who knows what this print is?

You could have quite a lucrative sideline in selling those little dumpsters as computer desk toys and an even bigger income if you can reproduce the bottom picture – I’d want one.

nah
Its a hobby
printing small plastic items would be uneconomical when you could import them from China and sell for under 3 bucks.

better sticking to guns.
oh, and roses

the real dumpsters start at $168,600 per year plus expenses (lots of them) and can be found in Wellington about 16 weeks of the year.
There are 122 of them for sale at this time! (one just died)

Why did you not buy a Maori one,
After all they are world leading scientists.

The Maori version is great but limited to producing new barcodes for the chin and butterfly tatoo designs that grow to Golden Eagles on the Gluteus Maximus over time, I believe the Mahuta potamus has a whole family of them.

Hope you’re not printing guns for the mob. Oh wait, we know they get all their guns from Licensed Firearms Owners.

Great stuff Ed. I hope you have a good shed out the back, to work in. I can see Mrs Ed getting annoyed with all the stuff lying around.
Just out of curiosity, why Czechoslovakia ? Was it just better quality ?
