On a small part the whole loop runs under an hour, most of it unattended print time. Works for replacement hardware, props, and figurines where ±1 mm tolerance is fine — not for precision parts under 0.5 mm, multi-part assemblies, or anything you'll need to re-edit in CAD later.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/IuqXIpaNNuezY7jNfIDnL5gqB1iL_SEndwUUzLGdljY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNDI5LzE2ODM1/ODM0NjQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
