Iceman Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Mattel has announced that the 3D printing Thingmaker will be priced at $300.00 when released. Depending on just how sophisticated the software is, the days of scratch building and resin casting kit parts at the workbench may be coming to end. May be able to produce more detailed parts right from the workbench with this, very interesting. Kirk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkranias Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I saw this a few days ago. This is great. Having one of these on my bench will be a reality in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 We have a member of Pendleton AMPS that has a 3D printer. Brought it in for a demo. Quite impressed. His was 3 grand though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 No more scratchbuilding! But you have to have a good knowledge of 3D drawing otherwise the printer will be useless. Depending on the performance of the printer too! Cees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseGill Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I have an M3D. Good but could be better. Was only $399 plus postage to the UK though. Thinking I need a better one soon and will probably go with an Ultimaker or something like it. Great fun though, not that Ive ever printed anything useful for modelling. Mostly printed stuff for my Phantom 3. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
