Default RE: Who has a 3D printer?...

The 2k printers are no more than a novelty.
The sls machine I am talking about is around 250k
The 3d printer uses Fused Deposition Modelling (fdm)
A 2k unit has poor definition and thick layers.
The industrial equivalent is 120k building parts up to 400 mm cube.
Layer thickness around 0.1 mm

Chalk and cheese!
