I have to do the same for work.  I wish I could 3d Print for a living.

Heh. With lead times being what they are, we're planning a lot of stuff for 52-75 weeks from now. It's wild.

RE:

DeskTop metal printing is already possible and “easy” given metal filled filament (not the cosmetic metal fills like protopasta makes) ala Markforged, basf and virtual foundry The problem is the solvent/sintering (not that you can’t have a sintering kiln in your house, but It’s not as simple as buying and plugging in). Obviously you aren’t putting dmls or metal In your house (I mean depending on your house, if you live in a machine shop, then go for it). Virtual foundary is cheaper by far, but still stupidly expensive (and remember a kg of 316L stainless is a small amount of filament so printing anything large is wicked expensive - sorry grew up in Boston in the 70s). You can do all the above on your mk3s no problem, but the post processing is painful. The virtual foundry site has a lot of really instructional videos (and unlike markforged they just make filament). We priced out the markforged machine for the lab and the setup was going to be $120,000 (but that has the fancy ceramic supports feature)

You can, though it may not be as good a living as you have now 😊

You can get paid quite well if you 3D print as part of another high paying job. Dentists do a huge amount of printing and make a lot of money. Engineers print a lot of stuff and get paid well. If your just 3D kinkos, then no.

RE: XL - Wish List

I say that I have more of a ‘print garden’ than a ‘print farm’….

On the features, as I bring my MK3s/MMU2s back to life, what I’d like is simplify things like right now the perimiters can be one extruder and the fill another.  That works pretty well, and while I haven’t tried ‘wipe to infill’ what I’d like to see is an automation that had the exterior perimeters have ‘anchors’, like dovetails, into the infil l so that you don’t just have the bond between the materials, you have a mechanical attachement- and more surface area.  Maybe I saw a feature like that?

I do think that Prusa needs to up their multi-material game. I think the ‘logo’ function and stuff, they are hinting at what they might be thinking- but streamlining it.

I could see an XL with a standard load out of:

-Generic/cheap support

-Soluble support

-Strength/Color1 filament

-Soft filament/Color2

-Contrast Color/Color3

And being able to take mono-STL file and use those 4-5 to make something special.

RE: XL - Wish List

I would like high print speeds with ok quality.

Best feature would be the possibility to combine nozzle sizes. Like the adaptive layer height but with a 0.3 and 0.8 nozzle. The slicer would switch to the 0.3 tool for detail and the 0.8 for simple perimeters and infill. The combination of the nozzle switch and adaptive layer height should increase printer output a lot without relying too much on the frame for stability in high speed printing.

I have some concerns regarding the open frame so an accelerometer and input shaping would probably be a good idea.
