I got the combo with the basic ams.

Well, I bit the bullet and am jumping into the 3D printing world. I ordered a P2S combo. It should be delivered tomorrow.

Solid choice, should perform very well!

You know what’s interesting, looking at all the equipment and people it takes to make the filament ...
A little mental math … cost me $10 for a 1 kg roll. That’s about $10 for 1,000 ft of filament … or 1 cent/ ft. Delivered to my door. That includes raw material, labor, equipment depreciation or acquisition cost, shipping, and profit.

It's a wild thought process when you get into a global market. the massive ships really bring down the cost to move tonnage long distances. thus making it viable.

the extruder machines you see there run about 29,000USD roughly. support dryers a couple grand each. batch mixers, etc.

I appreciate the education you are giving us on how filament is made and on your print lab. Cool to see it grow.

Thinking of getting a printer to make some small parts for the bikes that are unobtanium, and some jigs for rebuilding speakers. I'm sure there are other things in the future that could justify the expense, and space.
