Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I very much doubt 3d printers can handle commercial scale production on any kind of reasonable timetable.

They sure do, even if you get a 3rd party print farm to print it for you. I read some analysis and up until around million pieces it's cheaper than molding without trying. If you optimize, it was some larger number which I forgot.

Interesting, I assume that's a different level of 3d printing than the usual hobby level ones.

Same level, just different scale. Like, you have a thousand 3D printers in a single room printing.
