You continued a discussion and then expressed amazement that the discussion has continued. Extremely bizarre. Also as a manufacturing engineer why did you say FDM is the absolute lowest quality possible method to manufacture anything when this is objectively false. Is it because you actually...

He never said there was a concern over intellectual property rights. As a couple others have done you are arguing from a false premise.

You asked that again not very long ago, do you need it explained again? Weird to repeat yourself over and over like this.

Your grammar is really terrible. Who ever said this is about getting the least costly solution? Nobody ever implied that this was about cost at any point. Odd you got that impression somehow.

I can’t speak to their level of knowledge if they were unable to successfully print that object. It is fairly rudimentary for high quality modern FDM printers. Was this recent or years ago? Also to clarify an ABS print of this object was not tested. Just want to make sure that’s understood...

SLA is not an appropriate process for this application. You are describing a failed print in your ABS testing. Did you have any successful prints? It sounds like ABS print testing wasn’t completed for this product if the people you hired didn’t successfully print the object.

I hope you aren’t referring to me. I never slandered anyone. Maceffects made a few assertions that were false and I pointed that out. That’s not slanderous at all. I also never called him a liar as someone else here has suggested. Pointing out false statements isn’t calling someone a liar.

Most likely yes. I’m an additive and subtractive manufacturing expert. It’s what I do professionally. Properly done ABS FDM prints are enormously strong. They can be used to print firearms, car parts and other directly load bearing and impact/impulse interacting parts. There’s no reason why it...

Perhaps. But I think the iMac for a lot of people tends to be a very special machine. Inherited or owned since youth, vs purchased as a collectible. So fixing tends to be more prioritized vs other models. I’ve anecdotally noticed this to seem to be the case. It is with mine for example. Also...

🤷 fixing things is satisfying.

What specific point are you referring to

What specific point were you saying this in relation to?

What did you print the ABS parts using and what was your infill percentage?

Nobody said anyone’s work is worthless. My suggestion was that the mesh be sold. I never said otherwise. You should take back your nonsense comments.

Will do! I’ll be sure to print it in a few materials and do some testing. ABS will be the best material most likely. PLA+ is very good as well but ABS has proven strength for these types of applications. Very functional material.
