Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 3D Printing

There are two things that prevented me from putting an extruder on my CNC
machine - my CNC just isn't fast enough - and while you *could* print
slowly I did not want to wait days for something to print :) and also the
*need* for a heated bed - the best prints are on a heated platform and I
did not want to make one for the size of my CNC machine (36"X47") plus I
have problem with lifting on my small bed as it is - I can only imagine how
bad it would be with something bigger!

I was in that 3d printing and fabrication group on Yahoo but it was mostly
about the resin stuff that I was not interested in so I unjoined... the
reprap forums are probably the best place to go http://forums.reprap.org/
