I received my 3D printer pretty well right on time! Clayton said he was going to keep on Stratasys about getting this one out on time, and he definitely came through for me!

The picture does not do the size of this justice. This thing is massive compared to the size of the printer I saw a few weeks ago at 3DVision. It almost feels like a refrigerator was delivered to me. Or one of those deep freezers, but some boxed turkeys are also on top (do people really do that? no.). The bottom box alone feels like it weighs around 200 pounds. The smaller ones aren’t much to laugh at either.

I still haven’t finished setting up the area for the printer yet, so I’ll leave it in the box for now. But I plan on finishing up the area setup in the next couple of hours or so, and then I’ll bust open the box with fervent gentleness! Don’t want to go too rough on something that costs the same as a mid-size SUV!
