Do I want a 3d printer, or CNC router

Thanks! Been working the ones from Fusion, but a quick look at Lars says I'll be watching his stuff sooner rather than later.

My favorite ones of his are ones where he will list out a number of tips, maybe 5 say, but then in that there are just so many little bits of information that are so useful but aren't carefully indexed in the title of his videos... Just a massive wealth of free info out there, really cool!

I learners fusion 360 in a few days thanks to Lars Christensen.

For around $250 I like my anet a8 3d printer. If you have the money the Prussia v3 (don't know actual name) is good quality.

Dude, that guy Lars ROCKS. I get that the Fusion people are trying to lay the foundation for their entire system and take their time introducing the framework and foundation. Yet, I think Lars is covering a lot of the same stuff (to some extent ) but in a much more fun way to do it (creating a project). Thanks for the recommendation.

The thing that baffled me in fusion 360 was the sketches. I didn't realize how to use them, or how important, or what, they were. Once I figured out what the sketches were the rest made sense, and you use sketches to make dang near everything!

I used and not very well 3ds max years ago playing second life. While it undoubtedly helped me to learn fusion 360 faster, I will still give lars most of the credit for helping me to learn Fusion 360. With in a month I have designed this (except the ford cab part which I just remixed)

That's Rad! I'm gonna have to check out your thread on it.
