Well today FedEx was supposed to deliver an m2 to my house. I am leaving for a trade show in las Vegas tomorrow morning so this was my only chance to get it. Anyway I ended up having to work and my wife had a baby shower she had to attend so I was freaking out a little cause I planned to bring the printer to the trade show and have it setup in the booth. Long story short and many calls to FedEx I was able to arrange for a relative to be there to sign for it. Just got home about an hour and a half ago and get her all put together and printing one of my drawings! Oh man this thing is awesome! Had an xyz before this and was not impressed. This first print on this machine is better then anything I ever printed on the other machine!
I can't wait to get some more experience with this printer!
In the coming months I'll share with you guys what I am printing with this machine but right now before I get some patents I need to hold off.
I wanted to thank everyone here on the forum for being so helpful I have learned a lot from you guys and plan on continuing to learn as much as possible

I was up till 1am last night dialig in stuff and just love this machine! It's really nice to be able to control everything from my computer while it is printing!
And the fan is very helpful I had a part I couldn't print on my other machine that prints perfect on the m2

I came from the TAZ 5 to the M2, They are still dealing with issues with bent rods, Z motors and plastic printed gears and plastic linear bearings wearing out. A lot more money for a lot less machine.
Be ready for not a lot of sleep.... planning the next project!!

Yea the more I use this the more I like it!
A guy at the trade show I'm at here in Vegas had a makerbot and paid way more for it and said that after seeing this in action he is buying one of theses for prototyping.
