gwiz - New to the world of 3d printing

Hello all, my nick is gwiz, which is also my nom de plume in the art world.

I'm an interactive Dev/Illustrator  for a fairly large Agency and have been messing with 3D since lightwave was part of video toaster. I got a DaVinci 1.0 for xmas, and I can't wait to hack it. I've already added some mods and in a few weeks I'm thinking of getting a new hot end to try using some fancier filaments.
