That was definitely the right call, and no, you don't want to cancel the order.
I did the same thing. No regrets.
(Well, no, come to think of it, there
are regrets.......I regret that my exercise routine seems to have gone kaput since my new toy arrived. I regret that the meals around here are now trending more towards "What kind of cereal do you want tonight?" than "How do you want your steak?". I regret the fact that

Waiting is a drag, and it's easy enough to freak out (a lot) about whether you made the right decision, but it will help if you can do some prep work before it gets here....Learn to use your 3D design software ahead of time (some excellent advice that I was given), read through the recent posts on the forum, focus on the Getting Started and Tech Support sections. Download the instructional videos from YouTube and watch them. (Particularly watch the ones showing how to build the cutter from the kit....."MakerGear M2 Assembly"). MakerGear is exceptional about getting back to you if you have a problem, but you'll need to be able to pinpoint any problem for them clearly, using the right terms, and it needs to be something they can fix for you.
They will send you instructions on how to use the printer when they ship it, but those are available now as downloads from the MakerGear.com site. The first thing I did while I was waiting was to go download those and read them.
You do those things in advance, and there will be much less learning to deal with when it gets there. You'll be printing in days instead of weeks or months.
(And then you'll be eating cereal too. Welcome to the club!)
