How much cost (approximately) the Selective laser sintering parts?
thx
We use to print the poppy’s parts with i.materialise. The last time it has cost about 1200€ (order i.materialise.pdf (298.3 KB)) but since it seems that the price has a bit increased.
We will soon order parts to build a 3rd Poppy, I will keep you informed of the current cost.
hmm it is cheaper to buy directly a 3D printer http://www.mixshop.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=59 or better http://www.fsf.org/news/hardware-certification-aleph-objects-lulzbot-3d-printer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Thanks
Finally, the price did not increase too much and is still around 1200€ HT. Here is the complete shopping list to print he whole structure of Poppy v0.1.3 with i.materialise: 3DPrinting_Poppy_beta_v0.1.3.pdf (159.9 KB)
PS: You can notice I added the “polished” finish, it only costs about 2€/part and adds a very soft touch to the robot.
For printing polyamide parts on i.materialise, the cost is based on the overall box size. So if you have some hollow parts you can use the empty space to add other parts and the cost will remain the same.
For example, in the Poppy chest you have enough room to add all parts of the trunk while keeping the same overall box size:
The result is a 40% discount with a total cost of 149€ instead of 250€ (when ordering each part independently)
EDIT: It appears the box size calculation is a bit strange on i.materialise.
Out of curiosity, I tried to place two arms side by side and it appears it is less expansive than one arm !!
Left and right forearms (side by side) costs 76€ vs 77€ for one forearm part…
