Printing at JLC (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by thwil@lemmy.sdf.org to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
 

Can we discuss printing using services (jlcpcb, pcbway, shapeways etc) here? Materials, limitations, personal experiences etc?

I'm having a strange experience with JLC 3d printing service. 72 hours is looking to be a week tomorrow. Customer support said that they "will try to ship it soon" after I contacted them after the order status hasn't been changing for 2 days

This is so different to their main business, PCB making, which is extremely sharp and smart.

Upd: after contacting them, they shipped the order.

Is this for a business? Why not get a 3d printer and print yourself?

I don't have a 3d printer currently and will not be able to get one in near future.

Also not all 3d printing technologies are equal. Each has its strengths and limitations. FDM doesn't cover all bases.

I didn't mention what type of printer to get. If your particular situation makes getting a printer not viable, then don't get a printer. I was just asking to see if I, or someone else, could help.
