Welcome to the Next Evolution of Art…

Hi,

So I bought yesterday a 3D Printer, and  I can't stop shaking now...
I'm so exited.  The model of the printer I bought is

 

It's been nearly 5 years since I lurk around the Web Dreaming Furiously to buy one of those. I have study all the different technology, read many, many articles and  test and so one...

There is a lot of reason why I bought to this special model..

1  The price...

750 euro transport included and a full pack of ABS is very cool it's one of the cheapest printer available.

2 The build platform.

18cm x 18cm is also one of the biggest build surface.

3 It not a kit.

Many of the really cheap 3d printer are DIY kit. and either I'm too lazy and/or I'm too dumb to build one.

4 It's one of the best.

Many review state that the solidoodle is very good.
most of them agree it's not a printer for everybody. The build quality out of the box is somehow in the middle. not great but not bad either... It's when you fine tune the printer by moding and fine tuning it that it really shine. Even if I'm not ready to build one from starch, I'm more than able and willing to tweak the bejesus out of it. Seriously this printer can compete with the most expensive one racking 2000 to 4000 €.

5 there is a very good community behind it.

And even if the company doesn't offer any official warranty. There is  a lot of people that can help, or share experience it's one of the biggest community too.

6 but not the least its form me being part of the rebel alliance against the evil empire.

So here we go.

In the next few week I'm going to sleep very little,  till this baby is delivered… 

I'm already planning thing, reading , creating stuff in 3d that I can print later and   learning software and hardware stuff.

Stay tuned. I will write more about it…

Share the love…
