Help needed; for a complete noob!
Hi Folks,
I washopeing someone could assist me.
I run a garage which fitsbody panels.
What I would like to dois start printing the panels we fit; hopefully saving on cost.
I understand that therewill be various costs involved such as buying the printer; buying theplastic in rolls (filament? Sorry but im unsure if thats the correctterm as I have only just started researching) as well maintainencecosts. Obviously the printer cost is dependant upon what I choose togo with; how would I go about estimating the other costs?
I have access to theparts which I would like to duplicate; but I do not have theexperience or equipment beyond that (just yet).
I have attached animage of the type of panel I would class as the largest size I wouldbe printing.
My questions are;
-What printer typewould you recommend for a good smooth finish like in the picture? Oratleast something which will only require a minimal amount ofsanding.
-What plastic typewould you recommend?
-What rough cost wouldI be looking at per part?
-What other thingsshould I research to help me get a full idea before I bite the bulletwith buying a printer?
All assistance isgreatly apprecieted.
Thanks
Mit
