Jennings Heilig 13,948 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) 3D printing comes of age. Now if they can get the cost down to $4.25 instead of $425 they'll have a viable business Recall that in 1995 I had to pay $100 per MEGAbyte (yes, MEGAbyte) of RAM memory...

Tony T 5,440 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 And some design and technology doesn't advance much. Try buying this for use as a nose weight... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1847-PLAIN-EDGE-PROOF-GOTHIC-CROWN-SLABBED-NGC-PF61-SILVER-COIN-FROM-VICTORIA-/201749651184?hash=item2ef9375ef0:g:qRYAAOSwcUBYUWHw And apologies to those outside the UK ebay network for a potentially duff link. And, no, I don't have that kind of extra cash! Tony David66 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting you'd say that. I just discovered that the 8GB DDR RAM cards (I bought 2 for $31 each, but need 4 altogether), have gone up to $65 each, and I'm not happy about it at all.

onosendai 542 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I would like to see the buyer face in front when will find the super-rrrrrrough surface of "White Strong & Flexible", Tnarg and David66 2 Link to post Share on other sites
98Wrangler 286 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 One step at a time, so eventually a better media will be found and cost "may" decrease to an affordable level. But at least someone is trying. David66 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it were equivalent to 1995 prices, that 8GB chip would run you about $1,240,000.00 apiece. LSP_K2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dsahling1 560 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I dont know the first thing about 3D printing, but I imagine within the next 10 years or so it'll change a lot of the way modeling can be done...maybe that dream of a 1/32 Su-34 kit or conversion could become a reality Link to post Share on other sites
ollieholmes 236 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That Catapault looks tempting but id have to save like mad. Has anyone else seen the 3d printed Flettner fi helicopter kit? Its in like 1:18th scale or something odd. Luca 1 Link to post Share on other sites
onosendai 542 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I see that many here on the forum/thread don't understand, White Strong & Flexible is the worst possible 3d material for us modellers. Vandy 1 VX 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
