So I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy a 3d printer specifically with the intention of printing enclosures for my electronic projects... any suggestions?
@freemo I was told that 3d printing project cases is pointless and you're better off with a laser cutter.
Which makes sense as most projects need a box with some specific holes in specific places, which laser cutting is ideal for but 3d printing is slow and possibly too cleaver.
@M0YNG I could see that, but those type of designed turn out hell-a ugly IMO.. at that point i might as well just buy an enclosure and drill some holes into it or use a shoe box.
A valid solution but sounds like way more work for an inferior product. Unless there is an actual reason a 3d printer isnt viable
@M0YNG I will say this a cnc machine might make sense in addition to a 3d printer.. aside from being able to make enclosures it can also make PCBs and cut out sheet metal to shape into shielding.
@freemo people have been making 3d boxes using flat wood for millennia using various box joints. I would look into that personally, plus maybe some epoxy
