I can’t cut a straight line to save anything of importance and I am not interested in owning 3D printing equipment. Tell me, Proxxon users. Do they earn back your investment? Do you actually cut straight? Are they 3D printer learning curve difficult?

Thanks for your insights.

Yes, easy and good. You could churn out something like an Osgiliath table in a day. You're gonna spend more time bashing up your perfectly cut 90 degree sharp edged bricks than cutting them.
