Though we did not experience any printer issues during our first impressions and demo print, other creators have. We encourage anyone interested in this product to (as always) watch/read experiences from multiple creators to get a fuller picture of the item's quality. We should also note that we were not the only ones to have issues with cracked or broken sift bins; Micronics is reportedly going to be redesigning these bins.

There are safety concerns with SLS printers that should be talked about far more than they are. There are lots of people with experience using SLS printers that say that this technology is not suitable or safe for home use, that powder is very bad for your lungs and just wearing a mask when using it isn’t enough, especially since the powder gets everywhere and can get kicked up later. Like other things, laser cutters, it seems that LTT aren’t too concerned about making the safety aspect of things like this known.

If you use ironing in your slicer, and you're extremely patient with your prints, you can use 0.04mm layer height and a 0.1mm nozzle and get extremely detailed almost resin quality prints. But then you have to wait a whole 2 days for that detail. If you just add ironing though you will get rid of most layer lines.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who looked at him and thought "Did I teleport to parallel universe where Linus is hot....and somewhat buff?!"

Small clarification. The shapes need to be hollow and closed, since you need to be able to remove the non-fused powder. A big question is how much does the powder cost. We already know how 2d printers are so affordable and the crazy prices of 2000$/kg that Markforged wants for its CF-Filament.

Talk about a suck up, once the boss cuts his beard off he gets rid of his beard.

Sounds a bit like Linus and his approach with Amazon “we don’t like them and don’t use them, until it’s convenient for us”. You’ve made such a point of avoiding kickstarters and now you make an exception essentially because “we think it’s cool”

I thought that sintering *doesn't* melt/liquefy the material, it just "fuses" it together? SLS stands for "selective laser sintering", but there are also SLM or "selective laser melting" printers. At least for some metals, the melting point is too high to practically and accurately manufacture something using a laser, so sintering specifically *doesn't* melt the metal. Although Wikipedia says that sintering "doesn't have to" raise the temperature to the melting point, so maybe *sometimes* sintering does mean melting, but not always?

The main difference is temperature in the chamber and output of the laser unit. For polymer sintering the chamber is brought up right under melting temp of the material used. In metal laser sintering the chamber is heated, shielding atmosfer is provided, but all of the energy needed for fusing the material comes from the laser unit. We are talking about single kilowatt laser unit in one machine depends on size and usage designation. For the SLS we are talking about couple of watts at most. Hopefully it makes sense why they differ and why sintering and melting is used for each of them

It depends a lot on which media you're using, what PSI, etc. In theory you could buy a machine to recycle the blaster media. However the powder that sticks to the sintered print is not really usable because it's significantly more fused than leftover powder. I mean you could try but it wouldn't be as good as powder you shake away.

Blasting media is almost always consumable particulate from what you are processing gets mixed in over time. Some media blasters have filters attached that help get rid of some of the powder but after a certain amount of time and material processed the blasting media gets disposed of.

It's exciting to see how the Micronic SLS printer revolutionizes the way parts are printed. It's great that its price makes it accessible to individual artists and small businesses.

Very cool device but man working with powder seems like a huge pain, think I'm probably going to go the SLA direction instead when I upgrade from my little PLA extruder

Any difference between this and MJF printing? Seems really similar to each other

Question: Does the powder change volume when it turns into a liquid or when it changes back into a solid?.

I kind of miss the hazard POV that comes with SLM / PBF fusion printing. The Nylon particles arent good for the Lungs normally Cleanrooms are used for SLM Workstations. Imho it s not possible to print via SLS at home or at least far from ready at this point in time
