Anyone adept at building desktop (or configuring them I should say)? I would like to build a "budget" video editing machine...I have some experience but learning about all the compatibilities, etc., is just a tad overwhelming right now...

we have 2 3d printers at my office that can knock out the same thing with no problem, but not in one shot

the wrench & the ring would have to be printed as 2 separate pieces then assembled together in post-prep

we dont have the capability to scan from a hard original but it prints from CAD & RevIt files easy enough

as far as blowing the dust off in seconds, our guys have to do about an hour of post-prep to get all the edges smooth, assembling pieces, etc.

we can produce an identical copy of every sample model on that table easily, we normally use it for architectural scale models for development presentations

3D printers are legit. I know some artists that do 3D modeling and then send their digital files to shops and get physical 3D models back that are printed this way. They can capture a pretty amazing amount of detail.

I think they glossed over a few steps between scanning the tool and hitting print, but that is the end result. And clearly anything made of resin isn't going to be as strong as a steel tool, and a good amount of torque would quickly snap it.

That was my thought as well - that moving parts need to be printed seperately and assembled. So they may have printed the pieces, cleaned them up, assembled them and then sunk it back into the powder for the reveal.
