Look what you can print

That looks nice. How long do you think it takes to print that table at, say, 100 micron layer height? Two months?
LOL, I can only imagine. You'd think it would take weeks, if not longer.Quote:

3DPrint.com just did an article on this. I agree it would be interesting to see a real time video of this thing in action. i do imagine it would take a heck of a lot fo time to print anything of substantial size. $39k is pretty hefty a price too, but I guess there is a niche for everything. I'd certainly take one to test out :)
Well if its that large it has got to have at least 4 hotends to print in different materials :D
Nice, here is a picture from Inside 3D Printing Berlin, where the Bigrep was showed off. This picture really shows off the enormity of this thing:
