Hi all
Did a search for an Introduction thread but kept getting an error message.
Got myself a printer ordered to build myself some replica film props, I was always an advocate of building props by hand from kit or scratch and when I saw 3d printers being used for props and replica props I saw it as cheating.
Then the more I saw and the more I looked into the hard work that goes into the modelling it dawned on me that 3D printing wasn't just a tool for the pros but for the fans also, so I've jumped on the band waggon and brought my hobby from the garage into the house.
I've bought an ally framed HIC prusa i3 270/210/190mm off of eBay £257 posted Then another £60 on supplies to build an enclosure for it.

I'm sure I'll have many questions for people and spend many a build hour searching for answers hear before I get running.
So I'll start with the questions now if that's OK?

What should parts should I replicate,replace and upgrade first? I'll be ordering glass for the bed once the kit arrives and I have the measurements I need.
Is there anywhere in particular I should be looking for HIC prusa i3 builds/instructions/firmware/answers?
As I'm printing in the house and using an enclosure is it best to vent via a hose out of a window or will one of the scrubber/NBC filter hacks keep smell/particulates/The wife at bay?
Is a 40mm fan big enough for venting the enclosure?

Thanks for having me
Johno
