Ohhhh yes. My buddy has the open, no cabinet, version of this one. I just need a file and have been too busy to mess with it.

You should be able to build all kinds of crazy stuff with that.

Wow, nice specs for volume and resolution, but PLA only? That seems odd. What do you plan to do with it?

The print head is held in place with pin locators and magnet.
There are upgrade heads that can print more structural materials.

I am just playing around with it now.
I am playing around with various design programs.
Also looking at photo to 3D .
I bought a 3D scanner but returned it, crap resolution.
The really good 3D scanners are expensive.
So the journey continues..

I could print 1/2 a front foil with this..

Better yet, print the middle section and add wingtips.

Yes, Pono has it. Do it in 3 sections as that complex middle part is the bear. But yes, you have the right rig for wings and stabs.

Let me know if you need any info on laminating one man.
