I've ordered an M3D Printer and I'm wondering is any beta users are out there that would like to share their first impressions of the M3D?

Any Beta M3D Users?

My M3D arrived at the end of July but I was going away on vacation for a month so I didn't bother opening it up. Once i got back it took me another month to find time to begin the setup. I've finally got it going and I've done a number of test prints over the last few days. Overall my impression is really positive. It's my first 3D printer and I like how small it is and the small print area is fine with me I'm not planning on printing anything massive, most of my designs are 2x2 inches or smaller.
As a MAC USER: Kinda dissapointed as a Mac User. I could not get the software to work on any of my Macs. I eventually gave up and bought a Windows computer. I got an HP Stream Mini to run it and it's been great. And cheap too.
I'm still running into some errors with STL files not loading and a .NET Framework error which I need to sort out.
So far I've only printed using PLA (white) but I'll be testing the ABS filament soon.

Got my M3D and just got it working. It is actually pretty easy to use but I guess the Mac software is still in beta. It is a little slow and so far there is no way of printing multiple parts. I hope they fix these problems. Other than that, I did my first print and it turned out pretty good. I printed the Lucy Spaceship from the Show Killjoys on Syfy.
