New toy, Afinia 3D printer

[D.C.]

Why not print yourself a 4th axis?
Then you can make useful stuff using a cnc machine instead. ;)

I was waiting for the Form1 to be released before making a decision on that or a Replicator2. I'd not come across the Afinia so it looks now to be a toss up between the Replicator2 & the Afinia for me !

I could really use one of these, I'm hopeless at design so end up making several prototypes that I can actually hold in my hands before I finally end up with something that's both functional & as aesthetically pleasing as possible. At the moment I'm CNC milling my protoypes in aluminium & wasting a lot of time making fixtures & re-working the Gcode.

I reckon £2kish on one of these will be money well spent if they turn out to be reliable bits of kit.
