Topic: Just ordered last Friday

I just ordered my 1st 3d printer after a month of trying to figure out which one.  I ordered the Solidoodle 3.  My decision was made based on 3 things, price, reliability, and cost.  I know the 3 is new and therefor the reliability isn't known yet, but everyone says the 2 is great.

I am from California in the US and I have experience with 3d modeling and this technology looks to replace the way we do things in the future.  I cannot wait for the machine to show up and I can actually use it.  I have already downloaded the software, Repetier and have been learning how it works.

Re: Just ordered last Friday

Congratulations and welcome!

I think you will love your printer... Quite frankly I am always surprised that people who do a bit of research and decide on the Solidoodle, don't give the support community as one of the main reasons.  Equally surprised that Solidoodle doesn't go out of their way to highlight the amazing support community.   I remember way back in August when only a few of us posted regularly how excited we were about the great and super supportive forum...  Now it is infinitely larger and there are so many more knowledgable people that it is really a joy being a part of the community. I don't think there are any problems we haven't been able to solve with the resourceful and diverse background of talent here.
