Printing at JLC (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Can we discuss printing using services (jlcpcb, pcbway, shapeways etc) here? Materials, limitations, personal experiences etc?

I'm having a strange experience with JLC 3d printing service. 72 hours is looking to be a week tomorrow. Customer support said that they "will try to ship it soon" after I contacted them after the order status hasn't been changing for 2 days

This is so different to their main business, PCB making, which is extremely sharp and smart.

Upd: after contacting them, they shipped the order.

Have ordered multiple 3D printed parts from JLC, the shipping times are quite longer than with PCBs yeah. The quality is great for the price, they can even print pretty big pieces with resin (I had a flatbox case printed). Tried resin and MJF, honestly quite satisfied with both. Don't really see the reason to order their FDM.

Here are pics of some stuff I had done by them: TOTEM keyboard, resin Flatbox case and buttons (resin case, MJF buttons)

Nice parts! I'm still waiting for my parts (slow post), which should arrive soon.

After some back and forth with their support I actually like them. When they can't do something, they explain it plainly and suggest that you modify the model. Time delays are just something I needed to adjust to after many years of using the PCB service.
