Zortrax M200 – Accuracy, Reliability, Rage

Watch on Youtube Back in the shed again. Kind of. A little. I’ve been cleaning the space up, but I haven’t had the time or resources to attack it properly so it’s far from the vision I have for the ultimate making set. But it’s better than it was.

Watch on YouTube This is why I have to get out more. You only meet cool people like the ones at scan dimensions when you get out of the house. Remember, if I don’t say “I recommend it”, I’m probably being nice, but I don’t think you should have one. Not so with the Sol Scanner. This scanner I can …
