 One last thing, if a mechanical part fails on you, sometimes you can get a little bit of noise back into it by yelling at it, kicking it, or pounding on it with your fist. This might put enough back into it so it will work for a few more minutes. - KenWittlief [more] |

A bunch of 3d printed metric adjustable wrenches. These were made on the Dimension SST 1200es.
Each one is just shy of 10 inches in length and takes about 9 hours to print.
BTW These really are metric wrenches, well in the 3d world that is!

Looks like they're left-handed, too.

How much money are we looking at right there? Just material costs?

About $35 a wrench in ABS Plus material and support material. About $14 worth was dissolved away.Stratasys sure knows how to make money!
, but so doesn't HP, Xerox, etc.... Bradley

Good ONE Wetzel!
For those of you who don't know .stl(industry standard 3d print file format) do not carry units.
For example if I designed a 1 inch cube in solidworks, saved it as .stl, imported it into my software, my software doesn't know if it was drawn in mm or inches. If I selected inches in my software it would be 1 inch, but if I selected mm it would be much much smaller than 1 inch!
BTW the #'s 768 and 1200 in the Dimension 3d printer lineup stand for the build volume it has. 8x8x12 inches = 768 cubic inches

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!

The cost to fill the entire machine(1200es) with ABS is right around $6,000 or more than the entire Desktop Factory. www.desktopfactory.com
If I were to print an entire block the machine would eat through 21.5 cartridges of material. See here: http://photos.printo3d.com/GalleryFi...0&photo=970627
If anyone wants to calculate how many miles long the wire must be? The ABS filament is about .070" in diameter and the block would be 1200 cubic inches.
I would have to draw up a block to see how long it would take, but probably 1.5 WEEKS!
