   My first commercial plans are to print crank bait bodies for swim   
   testing before cutting molds.  I plan to make more molds for resin cast   
   crank baits, and hard plastic injection.   
      
   My first personal plans are to print a 1911A1 frame to do a fit up test   
   of the 3D model against real parts before machining some 7075 for the   
   actual application.  I have a couple parts kits and GSG .22   
   uppers/slides, and I don't want to take a 1911 out of service to use them.   
      
   Innovations?  I feel my best creative work may be behind me, but that   
   doesn't stop me from trying.   
      
   My very first prints will probably be test models like (but not) Benchy   
   models with various filaments to see what the limitations are going to be.
