I unwrapped and unpacked it last night and am quite impressed already. Unfortunately I am out of town this weekend, so it will take a bit longer for me to get it up and running than I would like.

It's probably a bit much for my first one, but I feel like it would be the most educational and give me the best chance for a good experience. Already eat all the gummi bears?

That's a much bigger box and a whole lot more of them.

Downloading random junk from the internet gets very old very fast, and it's not additive manufacturing's strong suit anyway. I use Blender because I'm bat-crap crazy it was the best available tool at the time I started learning but there are other, more approachable ones out there too.

It's relatively cheap as these things go, not a fire hazard like the dirt-cheap Chinese clones, can be modified if so desired, and offers really great performance for what it is. I kinda want one (and a Lulzbot, mostly because of the name...) but I already have several personal FDM machines plus access to dozens of commericial grade systems so I'd not be able to do much with it.
