3D Printer Real life experiences

Check out Zortrax printers (https://zortrax.com/). Stupid name, but I was very impressed with the sample parts I received from them. They gave me one of their stock parts which you would expect to be good. But they also printed a sample part file that I gave them (for free!) that was designed for injection molding. It had numerous overhangs that they printed perfectly without support structure and some long, thin, drafted features that I would have expected to print poorly via FDM. Another ME I know that actually has a Zortrax M200 as a personal machine, also highly recommended it for both print quality and ease of use.

Unfortunately for me, the powers that be ended up tabling our 3D printer purchase. Maybe you’ll have better luck. But, I would definitely buy one for myself if I had an extra $2k lying around!
