3D Printer Paid For Itself! 3D Printed Server Upgrade Saved Hundreds!
Channel: Category5 Technology TV with Robbie Ferguson

3D printing drive sled adapters for our Dell server saved us hundreds of dollars, practically paying for the purchase of our 3D printer! 3D printing pays for itself!

When the SSD upgrade in our Dell server resulted in amber lights on all drives, Robbie consulted Kingston's Mark Noland who pointed out the issue as the 2.5-inch drive adapters. So Robbie hit the 3D printer and found he could create better adapters that cost so much less than the purchased ones that he nearly offsets the expense of having purchased a 3D printer in the first place.
