Looks like an excellent machine for the money Andy, and it can handle several kinds of plastic, 2 colors at a time. I am impressed. The tech moves fast, a year ago that would have been a coarser laydown, and 3x as much green paper missing from my wallet, sitting in a box on my front deck. When I get done with this Sheldon conversion, I'll possibly be looking for something similar. Toe dipping indeed, this reads like a serious machine. You I expect, are way ahead of me in laying out 3d stuff for castings and such. But at 250x150x150, I could make one piece belt guards and such for this Sheldon, without haveing to make up the plaster molds & con our local foundry into pouring them. Definite like. I wonder what the USD price is? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
