OK, I bought the 3D Printer, it’s Here, Now What?

My anticipation over getting this stupid thing was reminding me of when I asked for an Atari console back in the 80’s for Christmas, knowing I was getting it, but having to wait until 12:00:01 December 25 to open it. And just like I watched my stockings getting bigger, Amazon boxes were showing up before……

Let’s Do it!
