Used Additive Process Machinery - Commonwealth-Trading Company, Inc This guy is kinda close to you. You should get on the email list for 3dsystems parts.
It is underground world of 3d machines and parts. I know many many more as well.
Sure beats paying retail for parts and service. 3dsystems has rediculous prices for parts.
I almost never buy anything directly from them.
I told this to Bob at CAP last week as well, but I guess you both just like wasting money?
There is no warrenty on most 3dsystem parts, or maybe a month or so? Last summer, I bought a refurbished $4000 Control board that lasted me a few months, then it lost it's brains. Just like the original I had.
I had to buy another One from 3dsystems AGAIN! Third time!! This is the One and only part you cannot repair or get used. It has data on a chip that self-erases if it detects weird things, to prevent people from copying the program data. Sometimes it gets a false trigger and decides to wipe out the memory, and printer will not boot up.
It is just one of those PITA things that I hate. 3dsystems just re-writes the data and then charges customer $4000-$7000 for the control board! AWESOME!
In reality, there was nothing wrong with the board. Kinda a scam IMO.
