If you want metal parts that adhere to even moderately tight tolerances, a milling machine is your only practical option. 3D printers are great, but have a lot of drawbacks: limited material options, lack of precision, and long printing times. If you’re interested in making things (and since you’re reading this, we’re going to assume you are), you’ve almost certainly felt a desire to make metal parts.
