Is this printer good for jewelry design?

well.... you will need to sand your items smooth after printing... that is if smooth is what you want and you are making molds for the jewelry process... I know of none that make perfect smooth surfaces... so as long as you know that you will need to sand your item that you are casting from... then yes

If you are going to be making plastic jewelry then yes. It can produce items that cannot be made from conventional manufacturing. There's lot's of designs on Thingiverse...but if you are going to use this to produce casting blanks I recommend the jewelry specific (and much more costly) 3D printers. The Replicator is a great general purpose device but doesn't have the ability to print wax, or the dedicated resolution and the specialized printed supports that is needed. Did that help?

Yes it is. It can print a chain link for example. However, you must have a good grasp of CAD programs to design your stuff and output them to be used for the Makerbot.

Most of the work I have done is with small parts.Makerbot. works well at this.most parts have micro lines thst do not effect machines,but Jewelry would have to be sanded and finidhed to your likes.

I didn't purchase for photo printing, but I have printed a couple of photos and it was okay. If you are wanting a printer to print many photos, this is not the printer.

I use mine for checking print materials and print quality. It's fairly high powered and you can even see the dot matrix pattern in news print. I would think it should work fine for coins and for the price it would be worth a try. If you do get one please share it in your review so others who have similar interests may know too.

I own a software development company. If you want I can create an application for you at very low cost that can use this printer to print whatever you want

I would think so.... gets a real good close up....if not for the price it would still be good for cleaning and making jewelry or bead making and reading of small print I enjoy mine hope it helps :)

Yeas, you can take the bit out and put in all sorts of different bits, including several jewelry ones. This is a good engraver but, before you buy it, you might want to consider looking for a cordless one. I have found that it is a little awkward to move it around with the cord, which can easily get in the way or mess with the balance of it.

Yes. The ink is junk, and so is the carbon/stencil paper. The machine works well enough for my novice needs. The tutorial movie is also junk, but there's plenty of info online.

Hi! Not 100% sure about a 3D printer. I use mine with an external Blu-Ray writer. It comes with software that tricks your computer into thinking its a USB hub. I would give it a shot.

Yes this printer prints in differents sizes and Photo ID, but off course it depends the software that you are using.

Yes, definitely. You will have to carefully configure your printing application.

I'm not a photographer either. I use it to print design pieces and it works great. I recommend buying the cable for more reliable printing. You'll need it anyway for set up.

Yea, it works great for that. I bought it for that exact reason. I used it all semester and the black cartridge never ran out, and when printing black and white stuff, it runs pretty fast as well.

I have not used it for photos yet but overall, this printer is amazing. I love it. I do plan to use it for photos and I am not concerned about it. It has great print quality.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I just use it for basic copying and printing, which it does well. Good luck!

I think it will be a good document printer, I love the wireless feature. A Canon printers print head goes bad, but a HP print head is built into each cartridge so HP is a better device.

Yes, this would be a good printer for a small law office. It is a laser printer, so it will not blur or streak (which is the whole reason I bought it). Hope this helps!

Hi Judith, the color printing is pretty good for home & personal use. But if you want really true colors, then it's not that great.
