Thanks for taking the time to write a thorough and well thought out reply.

I hadn't considered printing it at 45 degrees. That may be doable. I suppose another option would be to print some sort of joint between the two pieces to do most of the work, and then add some glue to lock it all together.

I agree completely on the kit. I think it would be a fun and informative process to build it myself.. and i save a little money that way.

Now you've got me leaning towards the MK3... unfortunately that means i'll have to wait until it's released.
