Hello all - my name is Ifti and Im from the Uk - just outside of London.
I currently have a YouTube channel that seems to be doing quite well (I won't post the link here as Im not quite familiar with the forum rules just yet etc), and I want to start creating bits and pieces in 3D as Ive always been a bit of a 'gadget guy' at heart and love creating things.
Ive been checking out the Replicator 2X and the Ultimator2, and feel the Ultimator is the more superior of the two machines.
Im completely new to 3D printing, and my main fear at the moment is the actual software side. Im not sure on 3D software - I would like to get to the stage where I can make my own 3D designs etc, but am not sure on which software to use.
I know Ultimakor comes with Cura, but unsure on whether this is a printing interface or whether you actually create 3D designs in Cura, or whether you can use something like Google Sketch to make a 3D design and then import that into Cura etc?
Nevertheless still some research to do!
Ultimately, I aim to spend this winter looking into 3D programs, messing about with one and learning it so I can create basic items etc, and will look into purchasing the actual printer when Im confident.
I would like a dual extrusion kit as well - I know thats a bit much for a beginner at this point, but I want to buy something that will last, and that I can grow into, rather then outgrow and have to re-purchase!
Anyway, thats enough babbling from me!!
See you around the forums!
