#32How much are the prints approximately? Can't see a price anywhere.
$143 according to a comment on the page.

#33This is genuinely fucking cool. I don't think I've ever seen a 3d printing implementation like this before. I'm not a big fan of splats as a modeling method, but for something like this it's fantastic.

Wow, truly amazing that you can print a high fidelity Snickers bar.

But how does resin do colors?
UV Inkjet. HeyGears is releasing a prosumer full color UV inkjet resin printer this year for https://store.heygears.com/products/heygears-g1-direct
Heygears don't seem to have the best track record https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1bu3mv1/avoid_t...

#37Absolutely incredible
Re: Printing Gaussian Splats
#38Interesting how they voxelate the splat to print it. I am sure there are more efficient algorithms that allow you to make a mesh which then gets sliced before printing
I am wondering if it would be possible to print a splat similarly as it is shown on the screen, so not voxelized, but like a hologram with overlapping transparent gaussians. It looks like the model from the outside at the given angle, but the inside is nothing like model itself.

#39Incredible. I may be the only one in the dark, but until this moment I had no idea 3D printing at this high a fidelity was possible. It looks like a real bee. Last I knew, the best 3D prints still looked like hardened play dough
There s a whole spectrum between hardened play dough and the bee in TFA. A $200 printer with a 0.2 mm nozzle and proper setup (ironing calibration etc.) is already capable of making 3D prototype prints with details that look professional (e.g. highly legible tiny fonts).
An example would be the multicolor articulated dragons that are flooding flea markets and garage sales around the world : when printed properly they are highly detailed and looked mass produced. Unsuspecting parents buy those for their kids and have zero idea these were 3D printed on $200 printers.
The 3D printing world progressed a huge lot in a few years, which is what prompted me to buy one. It progressed so much it s basically solved.

Resin printers like this use UV pixels to cure the material instead of extrusion nozzles to trace the perimeter. Voxels are the natural format for resin.
