Re: hello from PA

Welcome! Where in PA are you?

While you wait for your printer to arrive, you should check out what people have been recommending as the first steps. (other than jumping up and down screaming "woo hoo" like a 10 year old boy with a red rider bb gun on christmas.)

Re: hello from PA

Just wanted to say "Hi", I'm in the Poconos, PA.  Got a Solidoodle 3 and looking to form a meetup sometime this summer. 

This is a great group with lots of helpful info.  Welcome to the wonderful world of 3D printing.
