    I tried that a while ago, and whilst initially tough, once over that initial "hill" and you understand it, it's all good...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Try Rhino3D. I first used it when working as a boatbuilder, it's brilliant for drawing curved "organic" objects.

    Neil, I'm hoping you can advise me here. Paddy has requested a 'cooling fan for his JG Aurora A5 3D printer' for Christmas this year... I much prefer it when he asks for vehicle/shooting accessories, because I have at least some knowledge about those! Do you know if there are different types/qualities of cooling fan for the aforementioned 3D printer please? I'll never hear the last of it if I send him an inferior one! 🙉 🤯 🤣

    Hope your neck's a bit better now. 🦒

    No idea, I've given you as much information as he gave me! I have asked him for more info, but he's yet to reply. He'll probably get back to us sometime next week.

    While I was looking for a fan, I saw this. Its a cooling shroud for his extruder. Printed it off in Carbon Fibre. The quality is great!!
