What have I done??

[Raider4]

I was almost decided against, so went and had a last look to check the reviews. They've knocked another tenner off, so . . .

Ordered, due Wednesday. I even managed to avoid being signed-up to Prime (again . . .), despite at least three pages on which you had to hunt for the "Yes I don't want to not sign up to no free delivery" text quite carefully.

FOMO is very strong here, unfortunately.

I know it's a toy, but I'm not going to run it 24/7, and will probably only use it occasionally for making new toys.

Although judging by the youtube videos currently being suggested to me, the first thing you print when buying a 3D printer are upgrades and tools and widgets for your 3D printer.

Hello

Yes I admit I weakened and bought a resin printer. My main issue that my body is physically failing and I can't cope with physical sculpting any more. This was a big loss for me since I sculpted and modified figures for a really, really long time in a number of different mediums. I have some expertise in 3d software so the jump to  designing figures on the computer was ok. The best bit is that there is an 'undo' or CTRL Z available for when my hands jump around - NOT available for physical sculpting  .

Make no mistake, taking on 3D printing is another whole hobby and there is a learning curve involved, but I am quite happy with the results. Attached is a picture of some fantasy female guards that I designed and printed. Also a pic of some fantasy Chinese undead I'm working on.

Of course this path is not for everybody and the work that's needed to design create and print figures might not be worth it for some.

Cheers

... I wish I had got the plus size bed....

Hmmm, Nicole, Halle, Penelope, and Michelle complimented my decision to invest in one at the last get-together. Even then, however, Jeremy Irons was caught in traffic and had to wait until one of the lasses went off to get another magnum from the fridge so there was room for him to join in.

I should be so lucky.😀 (Actually while the idea is rather nice not sure I could cope now) 😟

I suspect you'd rise to the challenge 😉🤣😂

Hmmm, just been delivered. Now I'm worried that I did indeed sign up to Prime again . . .


First impressions - gosh, it is tiny. And also slightly different in a couple of small ways from the manual & the videos available. Hopefully improvements.

Off to setup & print the test cat supplied.

Apparently the (small amount of) filament supplied is not great, so will need to order some proper stuff as the first order of business.

I order mine from Filaprint £17.95 a kilo with free delivery

If you don't want Prime - its no problem to cancel it if you haven't used it
