The school of Engineering donated a non-functional Prodigy Plus 3D printer to us. Stratasys always takes the print head and one of the boards when hey do an "upgrade/trade in". We figured the parts would be good for a future CNC machine. But once we picked it up and saw that it seemed to be in good shape, we find ourselves wanting to find a print head and necessary boards. I know these are pricey items, but if anyone out there hears of one, let us know otherwise we may have to gut this thing.
You could always turn it into a reprap. You could build the extruder head, and replace the motherboard with the reprap electronics "sanguinolulu".
ReplyDeleteJust sayin... I was wondering when you guess would get a 3d printer. : )

yeah, we were thinking the same thing. Might have to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteI am currently in the same situation as you and was wondering what has worked for you
ReplyDeletewell, I haven't done a thing with it. I guess the heads for these things are hard to come by.
