Good to know. My fear is the time it will take to get me up to speed to print a part. I have darn near pulled the trigger a couple of times, but the fear of it becoming an expensive paper weight has always stopped the impulse.


It is really quite exciting to see where this technology is going. Purchase a set of plans for a Sherman, and then build as many different variations as you want. I think the tank market will evolve to a point where we need quality electronics, and quality mechanics to put in the tanks we build with our printers on our work bench. For the cost of a Tamiya kit, you can now purchase a 3 D Printer.

I plan on getting one as well. With Dremel you know you have a lot of support., and they seemed to have focused on the interface which is key. They understand the changing technology. They have positioned this to be everyone's FIRST 3D printer, knowing full well that as peoples skills and abilities advance they will be looking for something more later. Great strategy. KISS to start.
