Home Depot was advertising those real heavy on the radio, before Christmas, to buy on their online store for $999.

I doubt the resolution is very good.

I fixed the link in the initial post.

There are already slot car vendors selling parts that are printed as they are ordered, primarily for 1/32 cars.

This is an FDM. I don't consider the surface finish of an FDM good enough for what we do.

The point is, gentleman... I bet Wolowitz can purchase that same machine or one with a few more bells for $2,499 today. :clapping:

I emailed my brother about this printer because he is looking to buy one. Here's what he said about it.

I would not buy this printer for several reasons.
It's made in China.
It only prints with one kind of plastic and their spools of it are overpriced.
It comes with its own special software and it's not very good.
There are more reasons not to get this printer.

His first choice is the MakerGear M2 printer.

I grew up watching Sky King on Saturday afternoons. Watched Amos and Andy. Watched Fury, My Friend Flicka, and all that old black and white TV stuff.

You ain't the only old geezer on here John... LOL.

Can remember when Bonanza was black and white broadcasts, and when they changed to color 'cause dad bought a Zenith color TV just so he could watch it in color.

No, you aren't.

The only "fictional" TV show I've watched in the last ten or fifteen years is Miami CSI...

Our next door neighbor in TN bought the first color TV in the area (he was the GM of Jack Daniels for 35 years, I've been told) and invited a different family over every Sunday for a few weeks so they could watch Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
