Topic: Hello !
Hi, I'm new here, just saying hello,
I've ordered my solidoodle expert yesterday and plan to use it for some interesting stuff (don't know exactly what yet, but I'm always fiddling and fixing something, so surely it will be useful).
I'll be using CATIA V5 R19 for the modelling (because I happen to know it a little and find it good for mechanical design).
I mainly plan to create mechanical functional parts (as said, don't know exactly what yet), so I'm not too concerned about looks, but more about precision (hope 0.2mm will do) and mechanical resistance.
I'm impatient to receive my stuff (I understand I'll be waiting around 10 weeks... this seems long, is this still the case?)
This is what I ordered :
+Solidoodle 3D Printer, 2nd Generation - Solidoodle 2 Options: Expert Model
+1.75mm ABS Natural Filament - 2lb spool
Is there anything else I should prepare in order to get going when I'll receive it ?
My computer is running Windows 7 64 Bits, will this be OK for the provided software. Will my CATIA STLs be OK for the provided software?
Thanks!
