Things go well! Half the speed i expected, but very well! 3D was tough to learn from essentially a blank slate, but i know all i need. Got from beginning to end of figuring out and progressing through my model making workflow in exactly 4 months. And i purposely chose the difficult design to learn the most.
Proof of concept/Prototype is print ready. Might have a pic to show soon if failure is minimal!
After this, the other models will go faster since i dont really have to solve any problems or learn any big parts of the process anymore.

Man ive learned SO much.
