A stock Ender, regardless of model, is going to require significant modification (high temp hotend like a Slice Engineering Mosquito or Phaetus Dragon) for that. Then there are other considerations like heated chamber/enclosure.

    It's important to note one of the most important things you can ever do if you're making a 3D model for something that already exists is to model the object that already exists before you start designing. And then make your design around it. I see so many people doing trial and error and wasting days trying to create an object from out of thin air and checking to see if it fits even if you have the correct measurements.

  • @BenMarshallDesigns

    100% agree about having a 3D printer for the shop - I've already made quite a few things for my shop and am now selling them only. I also just received the Prusa SL1S; I'm excited about having a faster prototyping machine now. My idea is to test ideas on the SL1S, and then once the design is final, use my regular FDM printers (also prusas) to farm out the parts. Thanks for cracking into this topic, really hard to tell how the woodworking community will take it - I feel that you've done a great job explaining how it's beneficial for the shop. Sub'd!

    There are NO SHORTCUTS to financial success. The smartest investors understand the only smart way is to DIVERSIFY your investments. Billionaires are not the same as us. They can gamble “30%” in the art market, and can afford to lose it. Their remaining $666 Mil are enough to keep them living in pure opulence. Please be smart, and don’t play with your money. If art were a smart investment, we’d all be doing it. It’s not.
