Friends, Romans, DIYPerkers...

My own experience of 3D printing is limited to FDM with PLA and some similar compounds but now I find myself needing some custom metal parts so I wonder if anyone has tried the like of JLC (my usual board house) with metal parts - primarily using SLS tech (that's the laser one).

Anyone got any experience in this emerging technology fancy chiming in?


Take everything I say with a pinch of salt, I might be wrong and it's a very *expensive* way to learn!

How has your experience been? I'm finding pricing a little tricky - obvs. it's a case of doing a PLA  (or similar) version first but I don't have much clue what sort of money we're talking.
