Any advice for a newbie

Greetings,

I am thinking about getting a 3d printer, and am wondering if folks here have any suggestions on getting started. I see in the other thread that there are at least a couple folks in the Albuquerque area that have done this.

So, where did others get their kits? how much are they? What advice would you give someone just starting?

Thanks,
Brian

I got my on ebay. I got all the part about 3 month ago an i pay about 47.00 dollars and most of the things needed got them there too. I got my machine buildt but working on the electronics. (not 100% runing). If buildit it yoursel you will need some time. I was thinking it was going to be easy but it is a chalange. Yes ther are many good people here in the forums that will give you a hand (give you good tips and currage to continue going the best part is whene you see doing something. You will need lot of time but you will learn a lot.
