Well, maybe. Since early December, life has been a bit hectic, and it's going to get even worse in the forthcoming weeks, as we have sold our house and have to move to another rented one in a month, whilst we soon start the building project of another house ... In all honesty, you may well receive your printer before you receive the sipnner, Martin. Hubert 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 … wait does it mean that now I become the local LSM 3D printing guy?

BlrwestSiR Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Congratulations Martin! Think of all the Mustang parts you can print now. For both kinds, Fox body and planes. And thanks again to Hubert for such a great prize. Hope the move goes well Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 For the software, I use Solidworks, but it is an expensive professional software. I'd recommend without hesitation Fusion 360. The licence is free for students and hobbyists. Although not strictly necessary, you should look at the curing station by Anycubic (talk about a poisoned gift ). It washes the parts from the uncured resin and then cures them under UV. Maybe as a second investment when you feel like you master it well enough. If the weight of the parcel is OK I'll try to include some resin so that you can start playing Hubert PS: Pm me your address ... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Martin - I personally use Fusion 360, they have a "recreational use" license which is free and can be renewed each year. I have only found a couple of things (can't remember them now unfortunately) that you are not allowed to do with the free license vs the professional version. It takes a bit of practice, but I did find some excellent tutorials on YouTube that helped me get started. One of the ones I found very easy to follow along with was a 30 day series by Product Design Online for complete beginners here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 There are some courses for Fusion on LinkedIn if you have access. I’ve done a couple myself as we have an open Autodesk professional licence pool at work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
