[BrotherShotgun]

Hithere. New to the forum and to 3D printing. I recently purchased a Makerfarm 10" i3v and it is due to arrive next week. I have a couple kids that are eagerly awaiting the arrival as if it were a new brother/sister and a wife that is pretty much assuming I'll be spending all my time in the garage with my electromechanical girlfriend and not her.

So far I've been reading through the forum, Practical 3D Printers, and Mastering 3D Printing.

I have been pulling computers apart since I got one for christmas when I was about 5 (to my parents horror.. but to my credit I did get it back together and working..) I just like anything electronic with flashy blue lights, it has to have flashy blue lights.

Anyway, I'm Australian, married, 2 kids, currently back working full time as a technician for Xerox , so between work and home, my life is literally printers, printers and more printers!!
I've been diddling with graphic design since we had CGA monitors.. (Hercules monitors were a bit limited.... ) so I've gone through a few different phases with graphics and modelling and am pretty happy with the tools that have evolved and let us do the cool things we can do today.

3D printing has sort of taken over my life, what started a few years ago as a small "OMG I have to get one of those!!!" has turned into a " OK - you have too many printers now, time to build a workshop" which is about 60 percent complete I am happy to say. I started from scratch, concrete slab (4x6 metres) new colourbond shed, insulation etc.. 9 double GPO's ... I hope to make some pretty special things in there with my printers all being able to be set up and running at the same time.

I like playing guitar, flying quadcopters into trees, watching terrible sci fi movies, and most importantly, I'm a cat person.

Ever since my friend introduced me to 3D Printing, I had been captivated by its wonders that is why I've been trying to design a little project of mine. Why I came here to the forum is to gather as much knowledge on 3D printing.

Hello everybody,

my name is Marco, and I live in Italy.

I am very new to 3D printing, but just bought a QIDI Tech.

Hoping I will learn a lot on this forum :-)

Have a nice day!

Hello my name is DUYTAP
My English is not good :/ But I really like 3D Technology. I saw this great forum on Google search, when looking for some new 3Dprinter models
This time, I open a 3DPRINTING Shop in Việt Nam , its name is 3DPLUS : https://in3dplus.com/
Im using the I4 Transformer 3DPRINER, like that video:

Hello Everyone,

I'm Matt from Rhode Island and have been using 3D printers for two years or so. I got my work to buy a Sindoh DP200 to do some rapid prototyping of tooling, fixtures, mold designs, and a few other things. At home I've got a cheap I3 knockoff from Gearbest (Tronxy P802). I've been doing drafting and solid modeling for almost 20 years, so being able to bring designs into reality with the push of a button has been amazing. I've already picked up a few new things while lurking around, so I look forward to learning even more from the people here. Thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi,

I've had a MakerGear M2 since 2015 but was too busy with going to school to learn how to operate it. Now that I'm done with school for now I'd like to get my machine working as I dreamed it would work. I've done a lot of trial and error but if there is one thing in life that I learned... it is that joining a forum makes me learn a lot better than fudging around on my own trying to reinvent the wheel.

I'm just a dreamer. That's why I own a 3D printer. And that's also why it doesn't really work! Because I spend more time dreaming than doing.

Hello,

I have no experience with 3d printers but think that the possible applications sound awesome.
