God I have enough trouble using my smart phone ! Remember those early mobiles, you had a massive battery pack which you carried over the shoulder. 3 D printing seems very much like this.

Neil, well done and good luck with the build. I was going to invest in the same model, but became put off with the CAD - bought the books, downloaded the reccomended program and then sat there - book in one hand, mouse in the other and a lot of hope, but to no avail. Even went onto You Tube to do the tutorials, but it would still not work for me.... I then spotted a 3D model of a subject and in the scale I wanted, but it was neither here nor there, once all the parts had been removed from the 'sprues' and the excess cut away I finished up with basically an item that had not been researched correctly, was not in scale and totally useless, and at £60 never again. Alright I have learned my lesson both in expense and in time, just one mans example of total failure with modern tech.
And like JR, I am now a recluse as far as modern tech goes, these all singing all dancing squint your eyes at the screen are not for me.

Looking at Michael's experience it wasn't the printer but whoever drew up the cad files that got it out of scale. It is one thing creating something in 3D cad that is artistic, but drawing up something accurately in scale is a different ball game altogether and needs a lot of drafting skill.Comment

Noel, exactly, I think it was a rush job to corner the market, but that is life as they say. Still a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then.Comment
