BTW the #'s 768 and 1200 in the Dimension 3d printer lineup stand for the build volume it has. 8x8x12 inches = 768 cubic inches |
Ok time for a crazy question:
how much would it cost to fill the entire volume of the machine with plastic, and how much time would it take to print?
wow I really would like to hold in my hand a 768ci block knowing that it was made it possibly the most inefficient way possible!
