In the past 2013 season we used a Stratasys uPrint SE (not ours) to create belt sprockets, wheel hubs, spacers and mounts. Anything similar to this quality, but at a lower price would be worth suggesting.

We are not intending the printer for extreme precision work, that being said build strength and durability is a must. Solidworks 2013-2014 is the CADing software were using, compatibility would be helpful. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!


Also I apologize if there is a post for this already. A link to that would suffice.

This would be my list. Add to that the OpenBeam Kossel Pro (est. March 2014) and the OpenBeam Kossel Mini using the reprap Kossel mini with OpenBeam extrusions and linear recirculating ball rails.
