Topic: Hello World, From NJ USA

Hello everyone
I am a programmer who is really interesting in this 3d printing technology. Currently i am still waiting for my wife's approval on purchasing a solidoodle. 

I like reading the mod/hack page, it's nice knowing there are people out there willing to make improvement and support each other. 

Is there anyone else from NJ?

Welcome, there are some here from NJ.  Tell the wife that you can make her a jewelry box and some heart shaped earrings or something.  Jump in man, the water's fine!

Hope you're meticulous about modelling.  It can be done, but you'll be working without a wire on that.  For the most part you'll be experimenting with fitting on the joints and connections.  But once you get a feel for how things print, you should be able to channel that creativity to make some pretty cool things.

Let us know how we can help.  Modelers like me love challenges.

I see people doing some sciFi spacecraft here and there. but didn't see a lot of GUNDAM or other anime based models in particular... so yea. i hope i can become the frontier in that category.
