cool.
Currently I'm trying to get my head round solidworks and simplify 3d. The printer will print in ABS or PLA and some more exotic stuff. You can see all the print materials on the E3d big box site.
Simplfiy will accept any stl files so even free 3d modelling software like adobes 123d will be fine to export in that. Obviously bolster seats for children will be too bog for the printer but if anyones got any .stls of components I could try printing up a batch. The material costs about £30 a kg, so not that expensive, and small components could be printer as many at a time that would fit on a 300*300mm sheet.

Good thread resurrection.
As luck would have it I did my first print last night after spending ages putting the machine together.
Haven't tried dual colours yet. But the first print was for a bracket on a quadbike which held the speedo on.
First print and first success. The bracket works perfectly. Took 22 minutes to print and cost £0.15.
Very happy. My wife on the other hand is having a bit of a problem with how happy I am. She bought it for me and it cost over a thousand pounds so she couldn't quite see why I was dancing around having made a bracket costing 15p

May I suggest this as the perfect Christmas present for her, Julian.... As luck would have it I did my first print last night after spending ages putting the machine together.
