Greetings

[Magicniner]

I'm here as a result of the admin invite from the model engineer forum, I started with a Manual lathe around 30 years ago and after using various milling attachments on the lathe I added a small mill around 7 years later, around 12 years ago I bought a problematic small ex-educational CNC, fixed it up, learned CAD/CAM in order to use it, expanded it from 3 axis to 4 axis and learned CNC. 6 years ago I bought a 4 axis VMC and then after the first UK Covid lockdown I bought a 2 axis CNC lathe with bar puller, I've been 3D printing for around 7 years, starting with FDM and then expanding into Resin around 3 years ago.
My prints are mostly functional parts and accessories for products I design and manufacture In House with my CNC machines, but I do also find resin printing invaluable for rapid prototyping new designs.

welcome to the 3D Printing community, Nick. Sounds like you’ve built quite the setup over the years. Always great to have members who bridge both CNC and 3D printing. Looking forward to seeing some of your work here.
