Aloha HI Capacity,

We would like to host a Talk Story/Workshop on the Tools at HI Capacity. There's been lots of discussion around how do I use:

1. 3D printer
2. Soldering
3. T-shirt printing
4. Other things tools I'm forgetting

Any volunteers? Please email me!

Mahalo,
Marion

I can show how to use the 3D printer and we could do another soldering night.

Hey,

I don't have official membership yet. Need to get on that since I've just been lurking the distro.

But I don't want this to lose momentum, I'd be willing to lead something like soldering, or coding.

I'd really be interested in learning the 3d printer.

Aloha Matthew,

Mahalo for your message! That's great. I may take you up on facilitating a coding talk. I'm thinking about putting together a series of talks in September. What timeframe is good for you? Please let me know and I'll plan accordingly.

Mahalo,
Marion

I have school off island coming up, possibly end of sept, or October depending on funding, so sooner rather than later. Im off the evenings. I can throw some slides together, but basically if I was to do coding I'd just do some simple stuff in python, java, and C. That would get people the basics and idea of high level vs low level coding.

Bob,

I'm going to get a membership for my daughter and I and her mom if I can get her interested in the 3-D printer too. Her interest is mostly sculpture. She has done a lot of work in Second Life, so I got her some Perl books to start her thinking about format conversions. Can you point me to an organized list of *-to-thingomatic format converters or start one if there isn't one writable somewhere yet please?

I promised her I would stop by to discuss 3-D mice, air mice, and finger sensors.

That might be today, but it might not. She just got a 2-D drawing tablet and she's starting to see ways that full-on air mice or finger sensors might not be necessary, but I want her to be comfortable being able to work from a standing position, and finger sensors seem likely to be that corresponding solution from first principles.

So, does anyone have any of the kinds of devices in

That they can demonstrate, or experience exporting renderings from Second Life, or prep tips for the Thing-o-Matic?

Best regards,
James Salsman

What do you guys have for t-shirt printing?  Is it like a direct to garment printer?  I'm interested in that!  Would love to see some designs as prototypes before sending stuff off for a run of 50+ shirts.
