[Ethan Dicks]

Greetings, Local Makers,

Due to zombies in the gallery (no, really), we are meeting in the
common workspace in the middle of the shop. We are setting up 4'x8'
tables with power. There is WiFi in the shop. Ask for the password
when you get here.

Come to the public entrance at the glass doors on the State St side of
the building. Come on through the gallery area into the main space.
Doors open 7P-10P. Free parking on State St (and all the nearby side
streets).


See you here!

I wanted to thank the people that showed up to this months meeting. Some great talent and great people showed up and it was nice to meet most of you. It makes for a fun netting.
I also wanted to share a video from the prints that were brought in this month.

For those who were at this months meeting you may have had a chance to see some of my prints I brought in. All the bigger prints were at 0.24 layer height but still looked great. I even brought in one that was scaled down size print that I ran at 0.05 (50 micron) layer height with the stock 0.4mm nozzle.

This is a video showing the prints that were brought in last meeting. Almost all of them were from this kickstarter that nick mentioned in the thread. Thanks to Nick for bringing his in also.

This is another video of just the skull I printed out.

And pictures of the 50 micron print I did with the raven skull scaled down 56% in size.
After a few adjustments to the slicing for temperature slow down at the tip of the beek it came out great. I will say the first one I did was a big failure because of the scaling down of the model size.
I decided to re-slice it and have the active cooling fan turn on at the 4th layer after all solid layers were done printing since it was failing at the small bones after the base. It helped a lot with those small parts.This model was designed to print with the beek being the top of the model. I think it came out pretty good.
