Building vs Buying a High-Temp 3D Printer: What's More Cost-Effective to Print PEEK and ULTEM?

Building versus Buying a High Temperature 3D Printer. What do you need to know?

Well to start off, 3D printing is complicated. The stresses that these machines undergo means there is some complexity involved with nearly every subsystem and even basic things like the metal and materials being used inside. Not only that, but the lack of support when you mod a Prusa or an Ender 3 into a high temp machine means you are your own customer support.

Today, Rob and Cole dive into their wealth of knowledge and experience to help you make this decision for yourself. For most of you buying a machine will be the most logical choice in the long run but for some of you, building one might be the perfect project for you.

And for those of you looking to purchase a machine, we have several great options at all different price points. From our in house developed 22 IDEX to the Sinterit line of machines to large machines like the AON3D M2+ that we've been showcasing over the past few weeks, we have a number of solutions that we can help guide you towards. Give us a call or head over to visionminer.com to get started today.
