Every one knows CNC is a more mature technology than the available consumer additive technologies, getting good prints doesnt happen magically and the printed lego peices you had seemed to be unfinished printed but, not cleaned. Anyways my point is that this video is a fun marketing trick but, is not a very objective look at the capabilities of each technology.

It's a marketing video but it's also a comparison of what two similarly machines put out. We got that file from Thingiverse and loaded it into a Makerbot Replicator 2, a machine we've had great luck with, and a Nomad 883. The Makerbot had real problems with it. We're not sure why it had problems but we tried a lot of settings and those prints were the best ones we got from it. The Makerbot cranked them out with minimum effort though. We also have a Dimension uPrint, and I'm fairly sure that the Makerbot, a consumer-level machine, did a better job than the older, but commercial-grade, uPrint could have. The CNC machine turned out a better part but required more effort. This can probably be said for most 3d printing vs CNC comparisons, not because of the maturity of the technology but because of how they work. Don't read too much into it though, it was just a fun project to try. We want you to buy a Nomad 883 but you should buy a good 3D printer right after that :)

carbide3d Different technologies are meant to address different needs. With 3d printing you get a complex cube with no more energy input or time input than for making a solid cube. You can machine a smoother (more perfect) cube with the milling machine, but there are 3d prints which are impossible on a milling machine.

carbide3d Eh but it's kind of unreasonable to expect a good (working bricks) print with that filament size in the first place. Really to 3d print a Lego brick you need a higher resolution printer which will take longer with extrusion. I'd expect better result at the consumer level with a resin based printer like the Form 1. To be fair, the Form 1 is 23% more expensive and can't print out of wood (if you so desired). 3d milling though will always have its place because some things require precision beyond what 3d printing can yield. Probably the end game is a closed loop production machine that 3d prints quickly at a slightly lower than normal resolution and then refines with milling. That way you get significantly higher precision than 3d printing alone can give and much less material waste than milling can do all while barely changing the job time.

Not with a consumer printer, agreed. With industrial printers we can actually get stronger overall assemblies because we can basically eliminate many welds and the material strengths (as tested by the material science division of ORNL) are comparable (although still a little weaker). www.gizmag.com/3d-printing-rockets-nasa-sls/24909/

A nice enough mill, maybe a bit expensive compared to a Shapeoko. But at least it seems that the new pro version has dropped the timing belts for some of the axis. (Must admit I'm quite surprised how well the Shapeoko performs using belts) Also you seriously need to check your printing parameters! Any dirt cheap (

It's roughly 1k more in price than the Nomad in this video but let's be honest the Nomad was most likely 2k more expensive than the 3D printed used ;) Also...

Legos are the most precise molded parts in the world. Think about it. Every block has to interlock with every other block manufactured. This does not happen by accident. To think that you can achieve even close to that precision with a 3D printed part is ridiculous.

A cnc is the workhorse of the modern indrusty. the 3d printer is a tool for the average consumer where as the cnc can be combined with a greater expertice to creat extreme tollerances. -4 years ago i was all for 3d printers, but now i understand theres a large difference.

if i was going to put that much effort in, i'd much rather just do a lost PLA casting and make them out of aluminum. also, the video is pretty deceptive. pretty much any modern FDM machine, properly calibrated will print legos that look and function a hell of a lot better than the ones you show. when the desktop cncs can reliably cut metal they'll be worth it. until then they don't justify the effort/mess/cost/etc.

actually a lot of desktop cnc machines cant do alluminium as a cheap frame is weaker than the alluminium you are carving it ends up that the frame gets damagedalso desktop CNC machines are worse than well tuned 3D printers in almost every way (even strength as sometimes CF filament is stronger than anything you can cut with *desktop* CNC's)

well printing carbon fibre is actually pretty easy you just have to put a better heat brake, possible a better heater cartridge and a hardened steel nozzle. While I agree both have positives and negatives 3D printers are just much better at this pricerange.While at a laser cutter level price range it is significantly more all over the place as high end 3D printers offer much more precision, CNC machines offer faster speeds than 3d printers and more versatility than laser cutters, laser cutters offer similiar precision than CNC machines faster working time and more accuracy over the other 2 at the cost of versatility.And about the weaker material frame; while it is true that a weaker material will work if the machine has a high build quality it will be better but the build quality required is nonexistent in this pricerange

until 3D printers become production machines and not rapid prototyping machines, your idea is only as good as the molds you can make to replicate your design 100,000 times. too complex and you won't be able to create a mold for it. this is why milling machines are still very much alive and well. if you are seriously about selling your designs commercially it's all about the molds
