The quality you would from one of these will not suffice to print infantry. I have had some success with 6mm vehicles. I will upload some pictures when I get back from work. (Am currently printing a Tau Orca, have printed droppods, necron vehicles). But the stratification from even 0,1mm layer is quite visable and vehicles can not be printed in 1 part but need to be split up in several parts, which can create some seamlines.

Thanks for the reply and pics - stratification is still a problem for domestic scale printers. |

I doubt we will see a fused deposit printer where it isn't a problem. But since it's the most affordable printer type we will have to live with it. The Orca cost 8,4kr (0.98$, 0.88€, 0.75£, for those with strange money) in materials. So the individual print is really cheap. http://www.brumbaer.de/index.php/3d-printing Is using a different method which would work better for 6mm, but is more expensive both for the machine and for each print. |

Thanks for the pics, what resolution and printer model is it? Have drooled over all the awesomeness of Brumbaer on several occations, but a recin printer is insanely expensive here in Denmark and the recin it self would put my fun budget in the red zone for a year in the future. |

They are made with a Wanhao duplicator i3. Printed at 0,1mm layer height. |

Just agreed with a co-worker to buy his da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer, it's very similar to the one you descipe up top http://us.xyzprinting.com/us_en/Product/da-Vinci-1.0 looking forward to try it out. |

Looks like it has the same capabilities as mine. Just 2 things to consider. It only specifies ABS filament in the description. ABS is a plastic and has a tendency to smell a little while printing. My prints were done in PLA (a plastic made from corn) Which melts a lower temperatures and you don't get that smell. The printer uses a proprietary casett for the filament, meaning it might be more expensive than 3rd party filament. (but a quick search showed that if you are willing to modify the system, you can print with any PLA you like :-)). |

Thanks Shoel will look into the modification. At 200€ I could hardly say no to the offer
