As a sad git i have a vague ambition to get/build myself a 3D router/plasma table.
Being a person with scale issues i normally go big as such there is not one single chance of one fitting in my current workshop.
The foundations for the new workshop (the wife thinks its garage) have been laid
So at some point in the next few years i should be starting out
NOW
Is it a good idea to get a 3D printer to help learn the principles of moving a tool around a 3D space and using CAD?
I have a bridgeport manual mill so the idea of milling metal is not an alien one to me.
And for most of the stuff i am making at home i use CAD (Chalk Assisted Design) on the big welding table i have so to have something which forces me to use proper CAD might be a good idea
