Hi all,
I've been browsing a few of the topics on here along with checking out a few things on various websites (will be youtubing as well!) as I've been toying with the idea of getting a 3D printer but if i'm honest I'm not sure what on earth will fit the bill.
I work in Architecture and I've been thinking it would be quite nice to mock up some models of house designs at either a 1:50 or 1:100 scale depending on the size of house along with the potential of putting together some 3D models of details at a 1:5 or 1:10 scale.
As I'm just dipping my toe in the water I don't want to be spending too much but equally I do need something that's fit for purpose.
Also in terms of software for producing models I currently use AutoCAD and Sketchup (although I'm still learning Sketchup) but I have been seeing references made to Fusion 360 and Tinkercad for exporting the model to the printer? I'll do some more research on file formats for the models but can my current skillset be transferred into an adequate model or would i have to use another set of software?
Thanks for any input.
