Peachy Printer - Backer Introduction Thread

[Buggeroo]

Like many others, price has been keeping me away from getting into 3d-printing, so i immediately thought i would back the peachy.

Hello,

My name is Kaleb I am really good friends with Rylan and Nathan so I had a lot of inside knowledge for the past year. When it comes to more recent times with Peachy Printer I have been doing a lot of different tasks. Answer questions backers have, working on backerkit, approving updates. I have helped with R&D and Rylan and I will often discuss the project and where it is going, specifics with hardware, software etc. I am also somewhat (lol) opinionated and not afraid to express myself if I think something is going in the wrong direction, or if something is a bad idea, and I love working at Peachy because this is embraced! Most places of employment are the opposite, where if you disagree with the "boss" you might get yourself in trouble, at Peachy if you agree with Rylan 5 times in a row your fired...jk but seriously they really love constructive criticism.

I just realised I never introduced myself.

I'm a bit of a bumbling maker, I like to build things but I don't always succeed or complete my projects. I've loved the idea of a 3d printer since I saw them on TV years ago, as the Peachy is in my budget I've jumped on it with all my limbs. I'm just hoping my near-non existent technical ability will be enough to use it!

I've made 3d models as a hobby for a little while and have a small selection of them on shapeways, I'm hoping to use the Peachy to produce masters and components for casting wargame minis. I'll be happy if I can get anything recognisable out of my peachy though.

Hi there.

My name is Rob Clarke, I'm a 44 year old software developer currently living in South Wales. That the original South Wales, not the new one in Australia.

Backed the peachy printer project back in September 2013 and I'm excited to see the kits are nearly matured.

This is the second time I've ventured into the world of 3d printing. I came up with the idea for the MendeLEGO printer back in 2010 but I hit a dry spot funding and idea -wise in 2011 and haven't been able to kick that back into gear yet.

Hopefully getting my hands on a peachy will get me buzzing again.

Here's to the future.
Rob

Hello,

Name's Per, 21 year old norwegian guy, just started on a bachelors in chemistry and biotechnology (military service kept me back a few years)
I saw the kickstarter back in (was it 2013? Time flies by!) And thought I had to get in on this! Unfortunately the check bounced and it all kind of went on hold. Now though, I've backed through backerkit and I'm waiting eagerly!
Planning on doing some mods to the z - level control, to "steal" some ideas from here; make them my own and see if I can't make the peachy a lot faster (laser will have to be modded at a certain point, protection goggles, cross that bridge etc.) Ofc. A thread here and pictures are obligatory!
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best tinkerer, so expect failures.
anyways, getting a little long-winded here, I guess I'll see y'all on the forum!

Greetings,
Per Edvardsen
