So, will you be making parts in the future or just making printers?
Sold your van?

I am making parts, just not for vans.
My machine has almost 1300 actual working hours on it since I got it. I have made close to $5000 from it. Might seem pretty low by the 1300 hours on the machine but a lot of those hours were used making prototypes for my new machine that I used to make aluminum permanent pieces.
It was a means to an end, made money to put into my printer build. I also got funding from 3 investors to build my prototype. It went very well, didnt cost me anything personally to build.
And yes, the van is gone.

Let me know if you need any help. Been using Linux for 14 years now.
