Topic: OH! Forgot to stop and introduce myself. :D

Aloha!

My name is Jeremy. Picked up this awesome little toy from a guy here on island that did all the patient waiting on my behalf.

I've been at this for about a month now and it wasn't an easy start. When I got it, the acrylic jig saw was in tatters and even had a few missing screws and nuts but I managed to get it together with some ductape (Don't judge me!) and zip ties...redneck engineering. Now I am printing and getting better at it.  wink

Printed Lawsy's MK3 and MK4 and cobbled together an acrylic case for my SD3. Have also tried my hand at a few spool holders and other various things, some worked, some didn't, but I am comin around the learning curve for sure.  I'm looking forward to spending more time learning and listening to the sage advice and helpful tips from you all.

Aloha!

Jeremy

No judging here... you're a maker now.  And considering you cobbled together the jigsaw in broken state to get it working enough to print a Mk4, you're in good company.

Aloha, my friend and enjoy your stay!
