But if there are no issues, then whats there to gain? Here are the 2 firmware updates released for my model, within a few months of each other. There hasn't been an update in over a year so this might be a moot point for my model...

https://all3dp.com/2/asa-filament-explained-and-compared/ Turns out there is a filament that is made for outdoor applications. I can't find any spec's on exactly how long one can expect it to withstand the environment though. Quite affordable too. I ordered a few spools to try...

I can't imagine what an update is capable of improving at this point. If its not connected to the internet, then security shouldn't be a problem either. Two of my 3D printers got borked for a week because of a new firmware, hence why this came to mind.

Is there any reason to upgrade firmware if nothing is wrong? Our Latex is wired directly into the computer right now so it has no direct internet connection and can't send error reports or download. Its not meant to be a long term thing, but I'm wondering why upgrade and risk something going...

The goal isn't to charge different prices for the exact same thing, rather that we don't have enough data to know which customer type is willing to pay more for what extra warranties or benefits (we just launched as a company). Hypothetically lets say our corporate prices are a bit higher...

So we do window and wall coverings for residential and businesses. These are all end-use products and not for resell. I want to create separate check out portals with some specific features that are relevant to each group. For example I want to keep the check out process as simple as possible...

Do you guys set up your rips to estimate ink usage? Do you find it accurate? I'm using a Latex 560 and Onyx 12.1 have only been able to see usage after the fact in the web server.

My neighbor works in a defense firm where a lot of things get subcontracted, and this drives him nuts all the time. He just had to axe a $1.2M contract because two firms who claim they can make a small part turned out incapable of it.

Here's an example of a reasonable 1-off packaging for a custom product. Here's an example of an insane box that looks like the work of having an excess of engineers.

So... the phone came, but you did not?

Check out the book the 'E-Myth' if you haven't. The first section is all about how a lot of businesses get started by technician types who think that just because they can make the product, they can run a better business. A lot has been said here about 'how big is big' for the owner, but if you...

What do you not like about Caldera? I've been sitting on a trial for awhile now (haven't had time) as I don't much care for Onyx 12.1.

I got this in the mail today, probably cause I attended SGIA this year. I've never heard of this so I was wondering if anyone has attended in the past and whether or not its any different/better than SGIA. https://www.printtechnologies.org/

When using your own kit, do you pause the print when it gets low enough to attach to the takeup, or do you attach it while printing?

How do you get by with using so little? Do you not have it spooled to the take up reel before running it? What's flexible ink?

I would never use anything but carbon nylon (or carbon-something) for long term outdoor parts. Normal ABS is not UV resistant, though its probably better than resins. Only plastic I think that is is Acrylic. There was also a post on the 3D printing subreddit of some dude who got his arm...

How much do you find yourself losing with the 500s? I think I use 10' or so to get it wrapped around the take up and to have enough on the back end to keep it on the roll. But losing 13' on a 10' wide roll is 130 square feet every time. Ouch. CET has a 126 inch UV printer for around $80k I...

I didn't realize the 1500 had more waste and took longer to load. I thought it would be the same at most given the price. I was also studying the math on that and it did seem far preferable to stick with 500's unless one absolutely needs that width. It also allows for more organic growth rather...

I notice that marketing material often uses square feet per month as a reference point on which printer to buy such as this chart here: https://www.uscutter.com/common/images/products/large/HP-Latex-Low-Volume-Printer.jpg It also seems to be used as a shorthand for how much wear and tear a...

This is just a thread of 3D Printing guides that I've come across that I think are applicable to signmaking. I'm not a signmaker so this is just my best guess, but if you're interested in the technology for your business, some of this might be helpful. Designing Jigs and Fixtures - This is one...
