I have been playing with speed vs detail for a few days now(that crystal took 16 hours) with , with the dragon currently printing the time lost seems really to be in the supports. We are printing him completely hollow at about 38" long and the support structure its generated is a bit excessive. I am trying to get the support settings right so that I can shave hours off my print times. The large format is fun and surprisingly simple to work with!

Thank you for all of the help. Ill be sure to continue posting our creations.

Maybe you can be the first to print Pluto? Does anyone know if those height maps already available to the public?

+1 on the finished big Marvin :slight_smile:

That would be amazing! I would love that. Let me know if the height maps are available. We are planning on printing a scale model of the Eiffel Tower at 80" high!

Congratulations on your new purchase. I am the US reseller of BigRep GmbH.

Contact me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Wow that’s awesome! You could collaborate with the guys (@Tiesdenh) next to 3D hubs that are trying to make the kids bike from 3D printing. You could almost print the entire bike in one!

We have 92 spools of white PLA filament in a tolerance of +/- .08 for $15 a spool and 411 spools of black PLA filament in a tolerance of +/- .08 for $15 a spool.

Awesome. So well painted. How much material for one of these big boys?

They’re over 40,000 euros aren’t they?

We have an 800x800x800mm printer ( and we built it ourselves ) here at 3D Seed if anyones interested.

We also use the E3D Volcano nozzles with a 1mm layer height so it’s FAST as well.

We also sell them for half the cost of the BigRep :slight_smile:

We also sell larger 3d Printers as we manufacture VSlot here in Spain (from Openbuilds)

The maximum size we can engineer can use the 6 metre lengths so anyone want to print a house/car etc ?

I agree with gabriela3d! This astronaut model would be a good test for that printer, and could make an incredible lamp if printed hollow and filled with lights. Apollo Astronaut improvement support by Charlie1982 - Thingiverse

Can you print in Nafion?

Hi,

I’m close to your area and I would like to request a quote to 3D print a personal piece I designed as large as 39 inches. I have attached an image for you.

Kind Regards,

Ernesto Reyes.
