How Often do you use your 3d printers?
I always hear people saying that 3D Printers are a gadget that you will buy, use for a month and then kinda just forget about it. However, that definitely hasn't been the case for me. I use my printer at least 4 times a week for the past 5 months, and probably have it printing for at least 20 hours a week. I was wondering. Are any of you guys like me, using your printers all the time? How much do you guys use your printers?

Umm...
20-30 hours a week for my personal printer.
40-45 hours a week for each printer at school (Rep2 and Rep2X)

Err, A lot but I've never timed it.
It's so useful to be able to design and print what I need rather than mess around having to source a suitable partLast edited by brisinger; 04-02-2014 at 05:00 AM.

I have owned my 3D Printer for about 1 1/2 years now, and I must say I still haven't gotten bored or tired of it. I use it about 4 days a week, and have printed at least 125 different items so far.

I must admit that over the past few months I have only been using it about 2-3 times a month. I've been busy with school though, so that's the main reason. However, when I am out of school, I plan to use it on a daily basis.

Hobby machine and it gets used about 2-3 hours daily while designing. Once I get a couple of good designs for a project it can go 8-10 house daily for a few days. Most prints are less than an hour each but a few have been big prints at 2-3 hours each. MakerBot Rep 2 - no mods - factory software. Russ
