Used/ refurbished 3d Printers
Used/ refurbished 3d Printers
(OP)
Dear all,
I really am not sure where to post this question but I thought to start off here:
Does anybody know where I can find used/ refurbished 3D printers?
I am looking for 3D systems Projet 3000 or 3500 or machines of that caliper.
Thanks,
Herc

At my last company, we had bought a new printer that was being phased out by the next gen. We worked it like a dog & it performed great most the time. But when it went down it wasn’t cheap for replacement of parts. We went on a yearly service plan to save costs and ended up replacing almost ALL the hardware on the thing before I left. The machine was ~6yrs old & our maintenance provider told us they were about to stop providing parts for it because of its age.
Hopefully you won’t run into these issues like I had. But things break, especially in the hot environment that most of these printers run in. So be careful & make sure you can still get parts for whatever machine you choose, new or used.

yes 6 years in this field seems like a long time.
Any experience with 3D systems or SLA processes?
