    lol no the markforge is atwo filament system, a nylon carrier and a second extruder that adds the carbon fibre.

    Tough stuff and yes markforge do not do cheap anything.
    To put this into perspective cost wise. the bracket uses less than 40gms of filament and would take around 3 hours. I sliced it :-)

    1kg onyx = $190
    so 40gms - $7.6
    It's approximately 8x more expensive than normal filament.
    So even if it would work in a different printer (which is doubtful) it's way too pricey for anyone without a markforge to bother with :-)
    You can nget nylon with carbon fibre for dstandard machines - about 1/5 the cost of onyx.
    I'm not a huge fan - never been convinced that the carbon adds anything other than a black colour and a slightly stiffer part.

    So that price for the part - while most of this forum's members are going HOW MUCH ! - is actually a reasonable cost for the materials, time and process involved.
    the abs prices are total rip offs though ;-)

    But yep happy to make anything for anyone.

    $400 for a hdmi hub. wow !
    I guess if you do a lot of 4k or higher stuff you need something like that.
    I'm still running on old fashioned hd :-)
