I for one would not be using the form 1 for something like that. I'll be using it for very small parts to compliment the UM2. Things like very small gears, very small text, miniatures etc...

Also, If I absolutely had to print a mechanical part on the Form 1, I would first find its printing characteristics, so I can modify the designs in a way that the end product prints to the desired dimensions.

Most likely, I would just be using it for the small, detailed prints though...

    The Zinter Pro looks like 'another FDM machine with a shiny prospect'

    In a way it is the same as the UM2, but with two extruders.

    Have anyone seen a working dual extruder out of the box yet…?

    Hi

    I assumed there would be accuracy with this technology and there isn't Or not according to my sample, I looked at this machine as an alternative to FDM based machine's my object that I am designing is very specific and I suppose needs supports to get the outside profile correct BUT at the moment technology is nearly there and the um2 could be there sometime in the future if I am to believe the hype in a word dissolvable. With supports the print time is 12 hr the print time with the form 1 is 3 you can see why I was tempted.
