Re: Hey from CT

Welcome, have a look around.  Load the software from the websites and start learning before you get it, then you can start printing right away. 

Make sure to do the calibrations listed on wiki.solidoodle.com before trying to print, it'll save you a lot of headaches.

Congrats and welcome.  Make sure you calibrate everything and while your waiting learn the software.  I would suggest Repetier Host, them you can pick the two built in Slicing apps (Skeinforge or Sic3r) or download KISSlicer and Cura.  You will if d that they all have their benefits.
