We are putting together a much larger printer, 8'x20x6' with a new extruder that runs at 100 lbs/hr. We are going to try to print HVA a new pit for Championship
So overall costs were below $100??
Why is everyone not doing this? Does anyone know where I can find a list of materials the company they used is proficient in 3D-Printing?

Very impressive use of additive manufacturing.
