Cool, thank you for the information. After posting, I took a peek online at printers and saw a couple neat little ones, but I think they were pretty small and a $300 price tag. It does not look like there will be one in my near future anymore as something decent sized seemed to be around teh $500-$600 dollar range. Oh well, wishful thinking. One day. Thanks again.

Avoid the $300 printers. You will not be happy.

I paid $1700 for mine and have about another $600 in upgrades. Mine is a MendelMax 3 from MakersToolWorks. It’s an all metal frame using openbuilds wheels. It’s all open source using a Rambo controller board. I could upgrade to a duet controller and have it WiFi enabled but I don’t see that as a worthwhile investment. If you want to print exotic filaments like nylon or PEK it takes 270 to 400C print temps. Even the print nozzles are using real ruby’s at the tip of the extrusion nozzle.

DuPont Zytel version mounted to an engine. Fit is good. The opening for the spraybar seems perfect. Have to remove the needle and seal to install. Very rigid when mounted to the engine. The only cleanup are on the outer mounting screws where the support material is attached. It breaks away but there is some filament strands attached in those locations.

It looks very good, Jason. Last time I saw the Goldberg EB-1 Mount in original packaging for sale on E-Bay was asking an exceptionally high cost over $50, which eliminated all but the most demanding collector. This is in light of what was a $0.69 US item back in the late 1960's, early 1970's.

I have only 2 postage stamp engines and they are already equipped with the EB-1, but as expressed it appears you have a couple fans straight way who'd like to purchase from you.
