Hello guys.

My name is Ben and I am a 29 year old inventor. I am working on new energy development and I see 3D printing as an excellent tool in development.
I am going to purchase the Delta model in a month or two I just wanted to see and explore the site and maybe get to know a couple of people.
The first thing I am going to do with my 3D printer is print small scale vortex style wind generator turbine designs to see which designs are the
most effective at producing torque/speed/power. Then I'm going to build them at a much larger scale.

I believe 3D printers are an amazing tool for development and design in this high tech world we live in.
We are truly lucky to have these sort of technologies at our disposal.
I look forward to eventually getting my printer.
All the best to everyone.

Ben

Welcome! I'm in Ontario too (Northern Ontario - Sault Ste. Marie) - what part are you from? I'm new to all this like you - I just ordered my Rostock MAX which will arrive this week some time.
