Build for a 3d printer lab

[uolab]

I run a print lab at the University of Oregon. We printed 100lbs of filament last quarter, and l decided we need something big and fast. I went with the LDO kit, and printing all the parts on our fairly old dimension sst. It puts out high quality parts, but l really have no color choice.
So far, so good!

Pretty cool! Just wait until this fall. The Voron team has something LARGE in the making.

Made it to wiring.

l was building the newer version of Tap, and didn’t have any 3x50mm, but there us a hobby shop around the corner, and they had some 4-40 threaded rod.
I threaded it all the way in and cut off the remainder.

Well, that makes a lot of sense. If you need to print a lot of filament quickly, the LDO kit is a good choice. It’s well known that the Dimension SST doesn’t offer many color options, but it does produce strong, accurate parts. When color or overall appearance matters, most print labs use other printers and keep this one focused on functional parts. I have also come across this post, where the author talks about product image generators, which can help you a lot for showcasing projects where visuals matter, tools like AI-generated product images can also help present parts in different colors or finishes without reprinting. Resources like this overview are very useful.
Thanks

Hey! I waited until Fall of 2023...still nothing Phoenix-like to speak of...what year were you talking about waiting until?
