I just started with my PRStandard BT48 Buddy on May 31st. It sat around for quite awhile because I had to finish building my shop. I timed it's arrival so I could get started right away, but life lifed and I wasn't ready for it.
Here's some pics of my first project to my last one I did the night before last.
Some garden signs for my wife...

A nameplate for my father in law...

There's so much I could say about each piece because I learned so much doing each one. I can see defects all over the place, things just didn't happen the way I wanted them to.
I need to set my model viewer to be much more resolute, that'd be a big help. I'll figure out how to do that shortly. I saw the setting somewhere along the way, maybe in a video, but I lost track of it.
I'm very much enjoying Aspire. I have tons more videos to watch, but it's tough to sit still and watch them when I can be making things, ya know? Each time I stop and spend a day learning I find so many different ways to make things, I need to force myself to sit still and just watch.
I'm shocked at how fast a month has gone, and I really didn't think I'd hardly be able to turn the machine on at this point. To be cranking out some cool little signs for gifts is just a 100% bonus. :)

Good job!! It is funny the maker can always point out flaws most other people never notice. The maker is looking for imperfection everyone else just thinks it looks great.

You are off to a fine start. I sure wish I had Aspire when I was starting out.
Keep on posting, it's always interesting to see what new users come up with.
