    But then you have people like me who are on the fence, or people who ideally you convert from other software who look at it and go, "Oh yeah. I heard about 3D Coat, they're decent but didn't they make an announcement about a revamp a couple years ago and it never happened." Or like me, "I invested in it because I believed in what they are doing but it doesn't look like they are ever going to come through." So when its released appreciation and excitement are replaced by feelings that a debt has finally been payed, or worse, it can't possibly live up to what's expectation and hype it built.  It's just not a good look for a company trying to make a mark imo.

    The thing is, some software says they have an update and you never see anything for a long time until it comes out. But 3DC is constantly getting updates with new tools and features. You might see 30+ updates between purchases.

  2. Hi guys. I hope this wouldn't be considered spam. I was just wondering if anyone needs anything 3D printed. I'm just trying to pay the bills and times are tough.  I'm mainly talking about resin printing. I have 4 resin printers and can print up to 4k detail.  I currently have resins in dark grey, beige, and clear with a blue tint. Of course that doesn't matter if you plan to paint it. I was doing a lot of printing for a guy over this past summer but he changed his business so didn't need me anymore. Models can be up to 155mm long or bigger if it's cut into parts and glued later.

    Feel free to contact here or phil@philnolan3d.com

  3. BTW last week I posted a review for the Epax E6. I'm thinking I like it better than the Sonic Mini. It has a slightly larger build volume, slightly higher resolution, comes pre-leveled, and I haven't had a print fail yet.

  4. Assuming it's the same as the full license it can be used on multiple computers, just not at the same time. For example if I accidentally leave it open on my desktop and then try to open on my laptop it will give me an error message.

    Edit: Yes, on the purchasing page says the same for amateur and pro, 1 computer.

  5. I have 4 resin printers and have tried a number of different resins. None of them have really bothered me that much, although Siraya Tech Blu does have a very strong odor.  In all the research I've done all I can find is that it bothers some people more than others and some resins are worse than others. Though the more recent resins to come out over the past few years aren't THAT bad. Basically some people get light headed or have sinus problems. If any of this happens to your friend he can wear a respirator.

    If there's still a concern each resin maker should have a Material Safety Data Sheet. If they don't have an MSDS I wouldn't use that resin.

    For example here is the sheet for one of Phrozen's resins.

     

  6. Here's something that I've never figured out how to do in 3DC. Sculpting a pattern around an object without having a "seam". A perfect example is Spider-Man's costume, there's a hex pattern that wraps all the way around his torso and arms. You could do that with a stencil in cubic mode but it leaves a blurry seam when the front and side meet for example.
