• $400 printer vs $185K printer…

I have done a fair bit of printing odds and ends for my job using my personal printer. Most recently, I designed a widget that we needed several of, and each one would more or less fill my printer bed. Since it was so much, I asked management to buy me a spool of filament. I was asked if I could have another division of the company do the print since they just bought a fancy $185k printer. It took them a week, they used solid printing instead of an infill pattern, and billed us for 2 spools of filament (which they didn’t even use on our prints) at $400 per spool since it’s a proprietary feeder I guess. Anyways, their print had weird issues with not connecting the inner and outer walls and it caused major assembly issues. I got upset and printed one on my A1 and took them both to my manager. After a short conversation the shop bought me a $25 spool of filament for use on work prints and is considering getting a P1 for the shop.
