Topic: New guy from Orlando FL.

Hi all,

    Im a Designer/Drafter for the power industry and work with Pro-E or should I say CREO now. I have been doing 3d modeling for about 12 years. Hobbies include, R/C helicopters and planes, Robotics, Machining, ect. Planning on adding a 3D printer to my home shop. I currently have a small lathe, and converted a harbour frieght mill to CNC. I am really excited about getting into 3D printing.

Welcome Smitty, any questions let us know.  Are you still deciding on which printer to get or have you ordered already?

Re: New guy from Orlando FL.

I havent ordered yet but it looks like its going to be the SD3. From the research I have done, you cant beat the price and still have all the features and quality. I just wish It wasnt such a long lead time. Ill probably order by next week though.

Not sure im an expert but thanks for the kind words smile I am working on some ideas for animatronics. I grew up watching movies without CGI and was always awed by the mechanics in animatronics.
