    See the printer as a tool, not as a new hobby. I use my printer for jigs, small mounting brackets and even as a 2D plotter because my paper printer cant print to scale. (just model your template as a 1mm thick plate and stop the printer after layer one :') )

    So it could probably really help you out with the Porsche!

    I used to run a few Makergear M3's at a previous gig, can confirm that 3D printers are a wise investment. I'm eyeballing getting one for home. Now because they're so handy for day-to-day stuff.

    I was a little spoiled having Solidworks for work; a student license is cheap ($100/year) and slicing software is cheap.

    Do it, Seb. You'll be happy you did.

    Oh very interesting! I might have to take a look, I also found a couple of other beginner printers that might be fun to start using… should probably finish the 911 though aha

    I currently work with Autodesk Inventor. Have tried Fusion a little while back but I just could not get into the workflow. Actually suprised me Inventor and Fusion are so different from each other

    I might pull the trigger on it over the weekend, it's something I am genuinely interested in learning and also, I have some cool ideas for the 911 that I just don't think anyone else is doing
    Bang for buck they are absolutely the best. Lots of mods available, big aftermarket and decent interface. Got any experience with 3d modeling?

    I have an Ender 3 pro, plan to upgrade to a Prusa. Its just a nice hobby to get into

    Fuck I just want to quit programming for a company and work on my own shit.
    Days like today, I just wanna do cool shit with the Porsche. I'm tempted to purchase a 3D printer and start making parts for it...

    I'm mega pumped. Supposedly focus on cage and front end being torn down, the fuel tank has been removed and started making moves there.
    Hopefully going to get more photos in the near future.

    Just gotta leave it for a bit.
    Speaking of, sold the Avant to Miller, hopefully he gets more use out of it than I did over the past year and a half!
