Visiting MakerGear Today

[Pjblues]

Well, I am going to MakerGear today to look at their 3D printers. After reviewing items on this forum, I am prepared to purchase the newest printer while I am at their facility. We will see how it goes. I know virtually nothing about 3D printers but with all the help this forum offers I am convinced an old dude like me can give it a go. Thanks to everyone on the forum who has offered me advice.

I never considered trying to buy an M2 from the factory floor (Ohio is slightly too far from me to make that convenient, anyway). Can you even do that? Well, if anyone would sell you something off of the factory floor, MakerGear would; they go out of their way to be friendly. At any rate, when you see them, tell them that all of us who hang out here on the forum said "hi".

Ditto! (You lucky duck!)

I am jealous. Would love to be able to swing by.

Have a good time.

I live within 45 minutes of their factory. They are going to let me use their computer to place and order and then bring one home if I want it. I will tell them you all said great things about them!

[Pjblues]

Well, I took the plunge! I went to the factory and met the folks of MakerGear. Rick and Scott went through everything with me and I said, "I am taking one home".

I am sure I am going to have alot of questions for you folks as I start this process. I have no idea of what I am doing.

Stay tuned!

Congrats! You're going to love it.

Thanks so much. I am just unboxing now.

I visited them over a year ago when I went to pick up my machine. The office was about 2 and a half hours from my house but I was not going to turn down the opportunity to visit the HQ (it also meant I had my printer for the weekend and not on monday!). I couldn't say enough good things about my experience. I ordered my machine when there was still a 3-4 week lead time. Rick got my machine started for me before paying and once I paid I only had a week to go. I always tell people...if I needed another 3D printer I would buy the same one I have now...the M2!
