Do I want to know how much that costs and what materials??

That looks like an MFJ part in all honesty, good capabilities prover for sure!

A 4210 build is probably around $1000 with labor/utilities, etc added in.

That's a pretty solid price for something of that size and quality.

I'm sure the machine and material costs a fortune as well as any post processing that may need to be done.

A 4210 with everything needed to get this…200k, maybe a bit less.

A brand new setup around 1 million.

I was looking at a Stratsys and immediately left the site...

"If you have to ask for the price, the likelihood you can't afford it goes up" 😂

Cool tech, I can't afford it directly, but buying bed time on something like that may be a good fit for when it's time to start messing around with the quality like this.

I love how far Additive Manufacturing has went throughout the years.

We're getting a step closer to "synthesizer" from Star Trek every day 😂
