Hi,

I finally bought myself a 3D printer, I took a punt and got the new FlashForge Finder. I am a total beginner but I am eager to learn. I thought I would share my experience with you.

I have since had this little (or maybe not so little) running every evening and I have found it to be super simple to use. Designing 3D models is certainly the hardest part for me but hopefully I will get better with practice. Most of the successful prints have been from the awesome contributors over at Thingiverse.

Thank you for sharing ! Would you recommend it ?

@Philippe_Siccardi As a beginner I have found it really easy to use but I would need to spend a bit more time with it to recommend it to everyone. I certainly love it though :0)

@David_Watts I use SketchUp for designing parts (mostly cases and similar right angled shapes for my “Maker” projects). It is really easy to use and can output STL’s for 3D printing.
