[islandlabs] Response to Gabe

[gabe at bigapplehobbies.com]

Here is a link to the machine:

I’m not sure what category it belongs in.

It has a resin tub and UV light shines through the clear-bottom tub and cures one layer at a time.

I was just remembering how expensive Formlabs printers were originally and I was shocked at the drop in prices for the whole category.

I have only begun to scratch the surface, but I figured if anybody on the list is looking for a holiday present or whatever, this might be interesting and give them a chance to get one before they run out.
