I didn't mind putting up the 300 or so(S/H) I know I am not buying a printer, and I could have put that $ toward an existing "real" printer. Fun to try something new, see where it goes. Has more going for it than some projects that are all 3d renders and slick marketing. Thought I'd give it a shot. Also, I am looking for making larger, simpler designs as the base for costume design, kinda skeleton pieces, not meant to be the final surface.
