How Good are Professional 3D Printed Metal Parts?

We have options!

I can't wait until we can 3D print with metal at home, but until that time comes, there are some other options out there that are worth a closer look.

I've seen so many sponsored videos, and very few people show what these companies can really do, are they even any good? Well in this video we have a very VERY close look at a whole range of professionally made 3D printed parts in plastics and in metal, and we'll also look at some CNC machined parts and you can decide for yourself whether you think it's an option that could work well for you.

A company reached out to me about a sponsorship, and that would have been good, but I think there is more value in seeing what they can do and we can see it with our own eyes, so that was the goal in this video, to see how good those parts really are.

I will say this, after making the video, I don't feel like I have the same limits that I did, and I hope that you feel the same way after watching it as well!

This printer isn't as full featured as the X1C, but it is very capable and very precise. It also has a heated chamber and can reach higher hot end temps.

#2 Core XY - Most features with great results but Pricey $$
