Be nice for a WIP build and first cut

You could get fusion for free at one point. Now im not so sure.
I can talk you through freecad if you need help.

I bought a 3D printer a few weeks ago and I'm quite enjoying playing with that at the mo. I'm sure I'm going to be feeling very jealous as you post various pictures of what you make with it!
Oh, for design, Onshape is very very good and free for personal use.

The metal punching CNCs that i used to use only had single rails but 2 bearings spaced apart on each rail brought rigidity. Can't see one bearing just above another being as rigid but has to be a lot better than the roller wheels in grooves I was looking at before.
So what happened with tax on the purchase? site says not included.
looking forward to seeing how you incorporate it into your workshop. I'm looking at the 1500 x 1000 and wondering if I could find a place for it!
