I'm burned out on Kickstarters these days, too many people don't understand it's venture capital funding with all the risk and less upside. and too many fail.  I saw the Millright, and wonder why an established company can't get money from their bank.  That's lower cost than KS's fees but banks want decent proof they'll get their money and interest back.  I should mention every KS I've participated (couple 3D printers, other smaller stuff) in has succeeded, but I've seen a lot of both scams,and creators who just didn't have the business sense to succeed.

Although you should be suspicious about the opinions of somebody who thinks they're a moose...

Have fun!  You may be surprised at just how long it will take to master a laser cutter or a 3D printer, two at once could be a challenge.  An Ender 3's on my short list for this seasonal (well, planned to be until some knee problems made it better to stay here for the summer) house, the Printrbot+ and Thingybot Delta got left up north with all the other toys.  Mrs. Moose has said no new toys until the current ones get some serious use.

Holdu;

Hi Holly. You're right about Art currently being on vacation, however I also read that you are waiting for your license? My name is Bob, I'm the one who usually generates  all licenses at Gearotic, kind of Art's partner in crime type of deal here. Anyhow I'm writing back since I already compiled and sent you your license, actually back on Aug 16, 2019. May I ask that you check your inbox, spam or deleted folders that your mail server provides, it may have moved my email into any one of those categories? For your info, this at times happens since letters "otic" exist in name "Gearotic CAD", and some email servers trigger this as spam. Anyhow If you fail to see it, please contact me offline at  support@gearotic.com and I'll resend for you.

Cheers
Bob :)

So they have a problem with ears?  That'll amuse Mrs. Moose, an audiologist.  From the online Merriam Webster dictionary:

What does otic mean in medical terms?
Medical Definition of otic
: of, relating to, or located in the region of the ear : auditory, auricular.

Kirk;

Not sure exactly, but far from amusing at times. lol  Both Art and I should have thought this through a little farther prior to going with name Gearotic. Anyhow, it is what it is, hope we can work around the issue.

Hi All:

  Im back from my travels having missed being eaten by a bear of drowned
by a whale. Welcome Holdu. As the thread shows there some great people
here to help out. Yell when confused or when it appears by brain stuttered
while programming and were usually pretty quick to respond.
  Pity on all the new tools, your well on your way to an addiction we're
all guilty of.  :)
