Hey! Thanks for asking!

This is gonna sound strange, but I haven't used it yet. It's sitting on my desk, assembled already.

I've been super swamped at work lately. So, when I get home from work, I sit my fat butt down and do nothing productive lol.

However, during this time, I modelled a few simple things to test the printer. Have a few ideas of what I want to print in the near future.

I will update you / this thread when I use it... hopefully this weekend. I honestly have no good excuse aside from laziness for not having used this printer yet o___o...



I also had a set back on the 3D software I use.

I use AutoDesk Softimage XSI mostly. Unfortunately, the geometry approximation for that program is different than most. It doesn't actually add geometry / subdivisions when smoothing round objects. So, now I have to export into a different program like Maya (or just make my models in Maya from the get go) to make round objects for printing.
