    I would have recommended a $99 ONO SLA printer (https://www.ono3d.net), it's just about ready to hit the market. It was a Kickstarter project a little over a year ago, they were fully funded for $80K...

    That makes sense. I have a Z18 and it is definitely enclosed in a glass or acrylic box so temperature changes are reduced but not eliminated. I had similar problems with my original Thing-O-Matic, I...

    That's interesting, our printer is in a pretty well regulated room. I need to confirm this but isn't the build chamber supposed to be regulated? I suppose it can heat the chamber but not cool it....

    Thermal detonator or BB-8 make the cut? I have a Thing-O-Matic from 2011, still works great. I have a MakerBot Z18 at work and have started to use it a lot, I printed the BB-8 with that since it was...

    While everyone's mileage varies with the 5th Gen series I've been getting decent results after my Z18 got it's 4th Smart Extruder. It's never going to compete with a liquid resin printer but that's...
