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.

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
