I think there's at least one other Solidoodler around here that designs and prints AUV parts.  Also, there are a few other Florida residents around, including myself (but I'm in Orlando).

Do you have your S3 yet?  Or are you waiting for it to ship still?

My degree is in Physics, though I have never actually worked as one.

I'm new to 3D printing, but not to electronics and computers.  My first commercial computer was a Commodore Pet 8k serial number 1001 I think.  My first program was for a CDC 3600?  It was the first full transistorized computer (circa 1969).  Since then I've worked with the a lot of other systems.  For a few years I was the Ground Contact Dynamics engineer for the Shuttle Mission Simulator.  THAT was fun!

For the last decade or so I have been writing software for the Veterans Administration VistA system (their hospital information system).

My current personal project, and what lead me to 3d printing, is a small autonomous underwater vehicle.  Having parts machined seems a bit expensive, and while I have a wonderfully tolerant wife, spending hundreds of dollars for a single part seemed a bit extreme, even for me.  On the other hand the price of a Solidoodle 3 is not much more then a high end normal printer and I can do things with it that are actually useful around the house.  So I now have a new printer .

So that is me.  I look forward to reading and learning and hopefully contributing here.
