Holy &@@$ ! I’m speechless. Ok, ok deep breath Martin. Last few years was such a struggle and now this. 
apologies for my emotional outburst, but this feels really surreal. All I can say it’s THANK YOU for your generosity and kindness Hubert and everyone else involved.

I’m truly grateful, this is humbling. Thank You 🙏 
 

wait for it …….

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.

… wait does it mean that now I become the local LSM 3D printing guy?

Thank You again Hubert. 
 

could you maybe suggest some useful resources for me to study,  in order to master the designing process and related software?

Cheers

Martin

Congratulations Martin, and as everyone has mentioned, a VERY generous gift, Hubert

[Drifter]

Congrats Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well deserved, very happy for you.

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

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

PS: Pm me your address ...

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.

Congratulations Martin. Hope you enjoy it and get a lot of use out of it. 

Thanks again to Hubert for such a great donation and agreeing to the redraw.

Sitting at some restaurant in Playa DelCarmen, looking at people passing by, still trying to digest such a generosity and luck. 
 

thank you everyone guys

[Clunkmeister]

WooHoo!   Yes! 

[Bomber_County]

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.

Congrats Martin!!! Enjoy it!!!
