Lab talk, the good, the bad, and the ugly
3D Printer
What came first the chicken or the egg? Should I design and outsource print, or go all in?

[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 348911, member: 25140"] [B][I]UPDATE[/I][/B] So I am back at square one again. After some back and forth with tech support (solving print failures) it turns out that the DLP lamp needs to be replaced on my Moonray S printer. The cost is at least $1,850 (part and diagnostic) and could be more if they determine some other issues. So am looking for guidance to take my next steps. Here are a few thoughts. 1) Pay the repair (cheapest option, but it’s a old printer not as accurate). 2) Trade in for new model (more money but still able to use current cure light and resins) 3) Buy Asiga and start fresh (most expensive option due to new cure light box and resins) 4) Export print (lab bill will add up but doesn’t require huge up front cost). Please add any thoughts you have. I don’t want to stop doing digital dentures. Analog is still the majority of our cases but I want to keep moving with the trend not slow down. [/QUOTE]
