3D Printing Guinness World Record Try by LeTourneau University

[jebba]

Are they all printing the same thing though? I imagine the record is based on all of them producing an identical item, and then counting the results and seeing how many prints succeeded at the end, otherwise it is no real challenge or record to simply turn on all your machines at once.

They are not all printing the same thing. I don't think the record really matters whether it is the same thing or not. If it matters, we can easily do the same thing though, we just load the same file on every printer. In the video we are printing RepRap parts for our next generation TAZ. We've printed hundreds of thousands of parts. Printing some medallions simultaneously won't be hard--in fact, it will be easier.If you really want to see the nitty gritty of what we are printing, we have a LibreOffice spreadsheet of our current production batch here:
