New 3D Printer

[keukpa]

So, I got me a new 3D Printer...thought I'd do the Yoda model to test it....to say I'm impressed is an understatement!

The printer:

Very nice ! :) One of the model guys at a display I went to yesterday had a 3D Independence Day Alien ship rendered, I couldn't believe the resolution these work in now, very impressive

Nice compact unit mate.  Go on then, how much was it?
cheers

I'm very impressed with it to say the least, it does some excellent detail!

It was £1200.

2 questions..

What make is it?

Up! Plus Desktop Printer

How big will it print?

Not 'that' big, 14x14x14cm

What happened to the little gremlin fellal's ears?

I got hungry! The original model was 2x the size but was going to take 11 hours to print! hahhaha so I scaled it down and as such the ears go REALLY thin, so left this flaw.

I must say, I've just printed a model I made with my last printer, and the quality is sooooo much better, I'll post up once I've constructed it!

Thanks!

I guess the printing size is a bit small for me. No doubt the resolution is good though!

How does the UP one compare with this http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1119161671/3D_printer.html?s=p
specification wise ?

I know this is made in China and a copy of a makerbot so there may be issues with quality etc. I'm just comparing specifications and ability really at this stage.

Here is a print from my RepRap vs the Up!

I hope you can see the awesome difference in quality!
