Hello all,

I come looking for advice and pointing in a correct direction.

So recently i have been getting the itch to get back into building models and after looking around online the thought occured why not build the models yourself on a 3d printer. Double the satisfaction of creating and building from scratch. I do have a bit of backround using autocad from my days working cnc machinery although that was some time ago im sure i can pick that up again. I am interested in naval ships, planes, scifi ships etc to start to tinker with.

So to my questions:

1 firstly is 3d printing a good option for what i want to do.

2 is it possible to download models and print / modify them.

3 is software included with printers and if so any recomendations so far i have my eye on a robo 3d r1

Any suggestions / info / critisism welcome and thanks in advance

JK
