Dremel Hits 5,000 Maintenance-Free Print Hours

During a school visit yesterday, we took some time to review the usage stats for all of the school's 3D printers. They have a handful of different makes and models but we were shocked to find that their Dremel 3D45 had eclipsed 5,000 total print hours!

We did some back of the napkin math and found that this is equivalent to 207 straight days of 3D printing. This printer has certainly proven to be a workhorse for this school, and has helped a lot of students turn their ideas into real life objects.

Until we see something higher, this printer holds the record!
