  1. This vid was my main influence in deciding to buy mine.
  2. I bought the MM kit and used it for one build, but plan on restarting with it. I used (and still use) Inkscape (free program) for my artwork. I never got proficient in it but its not a very hard program to use, but you do need to see some vids on it to flatten the learning curve. You cannot expect to have perfect results the first time out. Unless of course you're "that guy" where everything comes naturally to you. So expect to go through some product fairly quickly in the beginning. On the truck below, I PE the visor, the logo in the front below the windshield, the grille surround, and the rear trim piece above the license plate. At the time, I didn't have a UV light and used sunlight. I'm in NE Ohio, U.S. and sunshine is not something we're know for, but it did the job. I would recommend a cheap UV lamp unless you live somewhere with ample sunshine. Good luck!
  3. You guys are very therapeutic. I thought I had a problem for a minute there. I only have about four builds in the truly shelved stage. The one that bothers me the most isn't the oldest, but one I had high hopes for. I just wanted to make a wild custom, mostly using parts I designed and printed. I got to a decent stage and then went blank. I still plan to finish it, but I don't know when. Part of my issue is my workshop. Which needs a lot more lighting. I think I'll start there.
  4. Well, the theme is to mimic the Cannonball Run route, so the track idea, and the off road idea would mean moving away from that. Perhaps its time for that, I dunno.
  5. Welcome, from a fellow Buckeye!
  6. Good stuff Jeff, welcome to the forum.
  7. Personally, I wouldn't buy a used one at that price. I have an Elagoo Mars 4 and love it, and you can find them for near the cost of that used Creality w/o the wash & cure station. About the W&C station, I never bought one. I pieced one together for a fraction of the price and don't regret it. The thing about a used printer is that you don't know how many prints are on that screen, and whether its near its replacement window. Though its less than $40, you need to factor that into the cost.
  8. Nice!
  9. Wow! I remember welding class, I guess those will not be needed!
  10. So cool!
  11. Well, now that I have your attention, the massive pileup occurred in my basement. I've been forced to use my workshop as storage space for the ladies and got lazy and tripped over my MIL rarely used exerciser. I should have moved it but I didn't. I tripped over it and fell onto one of my display shelves. My 56 Belair custom was totaled, my 32 Ford is not a total loss but the suspension is broken, among other things, and my 56 Vic custom is in bad shape, but might survive. Quite amazingly, both of my Chrysler 300B's survived! No damage at all. Whew! I love that red one. Don't be a ditz like me! Take the time to be safe.
  12. I use Outlook regularly, but I like to go to the website of the email provider I'm using to check blocks, and to do some blocking. I have a yahoo acct for most email, and I have a google acct for important stuff. I go to their sites to check block lists, and block certain spammers. Outlook does show the list of spam messages though.
  13. Beautiful!
