New member of the MakerGear family...

Hello everyone,
I'd like to say hello and note that I am joining the group of those who went with the MakerGear M2 for their home 3D printer needs. Just ordered it mere minutes ago and will be (impatiently) waiting the next 2-3 weeks (approximate) (assembled variant, even though I''d believe am mechanically inclined). Also tossed in Simplify3D.
I've selected MakerGear for two different reasons. 1) I had my sights on this unit already due to the quality product provided and the great community forum I've been sifting through for the past 2 weeks, not to mention great reviews. I doubt I made a mistake even just based on this. 2) If it wasn't enough that I already was focused on MakerGear, they are located 30 minutes from where I live! How could I not support a local company? At this point it just seemed obvious, thus I pulled the trigger.
A bit of background on myself, I'm 27 and work as an electronics engineer. I have a Bachelors in Electronics Engineering. I like to tinker with electrical and mechanical doodads in my spare time. So I am quite anxious on this purchase, as one could expect. I had considered attempting a DIY 3D printer, but in reality, that is what half of them out there are, except they're being sold, and are unreliable. I figure this is a much better option, leaving me time to actually screw with the printer and use it towards my own gadgets. I'll just have to brush up on my modeling skills in the mean time, it's been a while.
Looking forward to the local pick-up.
