I've been very impressed with the quality of the prints, and the printer itself is CHEAP, as far as 3d printers go. For less than $350, you get a printer that can print anything that you could get from Shapeways or Olifer. At home. For less. The prints take a long time, but I'm retired!

It's a Creality Ender 3, made in China (of course), but the kit is very well supplied (lots of spares, which is nice), relatively easy to build if you follow one of the many youtube videos on how to do it, and there is a great community of printer folks already out there who have made a lot of printable improvements already.

PS: the $350 price I quoted is actually with some upgrades that I'm getting. The normal price is less than $250.

Bill: I'll be out of the state from 12/17-1/5 or so. But free pretty much after that.

I don't necessarily have any "strong" desire for any type of car. I'd be happy with 4 that ran equally well together. So Flys, Slot-its, anything that's equal in performance is fine with me. We should probably race something with a fair ground clearance, as the track is still a little bumpy (though my Slot-It Mazda, which is as low as they go doesn't seem to ever have a problem. Go figure).

So whatever anybody thinks is fair is good for me.

Thanks for the offers!

Monte:

I can do January 19 if nobody else is interested.

If I replace SCX dull throbbing slow motors with something Carrera comparable?

Bill, where is Springwater Raceway located? Looks like a nice track!

Well, I'll bring it on 10/25 then. Doc, get help!

Thanks to everyone who showed up! It was a fun evening, even though we had some issues with a bumpy track. I hope to have them ironed out soon, so that the next time will satisfy the "Big Smooth" in all of us!

Mitch, so sorry to hear that!! Here's to a speedy and full recovery!

We'll need to get a stock of purple ink for our fingers...
