1) It did work out of the box, I was really impressed. Main thing is to level it right, I took the time and really spent time on this step and it payed off.
2) The guy that got me interested and the reason I bought this model has had his for a year and still loves it. He's printed many things for me and they have come out looking nice. Slow to print but hey who's in a hurry right?
3) Was it worth the money? Well some of the things I plan to print would be hard if not impossible to find, such as gears, custom parts for robots, arms, etc.. Project cases are really hard to find the ones I want and if I can find them they are really expensive. I made a custom box for my breadboard and computer I use to provide square waves etc., cases that I priced where $50+.
My girl friends son came over last night and he plans on printing custom car parts.
So the answer is yes I am sure I will get my monies worth out of it.

Then you must be careful. Without a goal it may very quickly become something like those kitchen devices you buy, use once and then collect dust until you finally throw them out or give them away.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Fair enough, but it would look really cool next to my Ronco Pasta Maker

You must have a big kitchen.

Great! What are you going to use it for?
I'm printing the engine section of a Space 1999 Eagle[^] right at this moment. Third try, but it seems to go well this time.
Last week, after getting the printer to work again, I printed this little robot[^].
And then there still is my Huey[^] which I should finally finish and get some paint on it. I still want to fly that thing this summer.
Edit: I forgot the General Motors Marauder[^] that's also waiting for some paint.

Wow I'm impressed, you have done some really nice work.
If it wouldn't be too presumptuous could I get the robot files? Please!

Just follow the link and download them. And take a look around, because there is much, much more. Even the Yoda bookends.
Edit: Now he's gone. He downloaded the files, fired up the printer and then started to look through Thingiverse for more fodder. We will not hear from him for days now...

forget about the previous message... I just confused the nickname

What? This "Bang_Good" is an international site? I was thinking it's a local one in India.

China, but they had a warehouse in New Jersey so mine got here in a few days.

What? No printer webcam to let us see what you are printing yet?
What kind of filament are you using? I saw that your printer is very open and has no heated printbed. Better use PLA for starters. It's less prone to warping, which may happen with such a printer.

I'm setting up the Pi right now with OctoPi.
It's got a heated bed and I am using PLA.

That's good. It will help to get a good adhesion to the bed and prevent warping.

Our Summer Fun with Arduino Challenge has been so much fun that we've decided to extend it for another month! But we will be announcing the winners of round 1 on July 2nd, so if you haven't already got your article in there, please send it in by tomorrow.
Congrats to our spot prize winner of the day Ewen Phillips! We hope you have fun experimenting with your brand new Raspberry Pi 3B+ starter kit.

Out of curiosity -- I completed the first level challenge and entered my secret code as binary. However, there are no instructions as to whether you want the code as binary, hex, or decimal, and if binary, LSB or MSB first.
So which is it? Or do you accept all?

I'll be on a 100% carefree vacation for next week.
Carefree, except perhaps when deciding if the palm trees are tall enough for my mood. And that, of course, depends upon if I should care to care.
No secure login - so, except for a throw-away email and some carefully chosen email address forks, I'll be, um, urh, ah yes - vacationing.
There's no sense any of you hanging around here until I return.
