I have both . I like both . The Ruger a hair more , for no particular reason . <| sep |> Hahaha , I have a creative touch , so to speak . I ' ve attempted Blender in the past but , man , was that thing incredibly complex ! It was unwieldy in the hands of a beginner . I figured I could flatted the learning curve because I did basic graphic design Macromedia when I was younger but that just wasn ' t the same . It felt overwhelming and nearly all of the tutorials on how to make simple things lasted over an hour ! At the moment , I don ' t anticipate making organic designs . Just some basic enclosures and knickknacks to familiarize myself with the modeler , slicer , and printer . I figure I ' m going to have to do a good deal of tuning and calibration until I have it working right . I don ' t want to convolute the process with complex buildsa smaller , simpler object can be the controlled variable , right ?
