Thanks you guys.

I appreciate that reply blacklight, it means alot and when it i first read the opening line, i thought you were gonna slay me or then i kept reading and was relieved, lol.

I'd like to not get hung up on the print size, but it it rather important to me to be able to print objects that are around 2' x 2' x2' as there are a couple things i want to try.

I can imagine i'll be blowing it up using it like crazy, same thing happened when i got my first TIG welder, i just went crazy making things.

i will check out the machine and software you mentioned. I'm very interested in getting started sooner rather then later.

Thanks!
