3D Printing Meetup - It's so nice, we're having it twice

[Stanto]

This's organised via doodle, mark down when you're available and I'll pick the best date, or even dates, out of it when most people can come along.

You can update your response later, even, to say you're not available anymore. We'll probably post this on meetup as well.

The adium of 3d printers are invented to make more printers seems to ring true, we've managed to breed a new resin printer! and it needs a bit of work, apparently.

The hackspace's mendelmax also needs some TLC and calibration with a firmware reflash.

We're considering crowdfunding a reliable off-shelf bought 3D printer, please see the other discussion thread about that.

So without further a-do, if you're interested to join in, show off your 3D prints, talk techniques, help fix the 3D printers that're at the hackspace (because that'd be nice! 3D printing for all) or you're wanting to learn about them, come along. No experience necessary.

During the week will likely be 7pm till late, and saturday/sunday will be 2pm until 5pm.

Register your interest (I'll put more dates down on here than I'm available to do, just to see what people think):

I've put some dates down on there, but feel free to plan without me if it makes things easier.

[Stanto]

Unfortunately there are some dates which I can't make it to, however, one of the dates is a majority:

Thursday the 27th of July 7pm to 10pm

And if someone else wants to carry it along (someone signed up as leeds hackspace committee?) then it can also run on:

Sunday the 23rd of July 2pm to 5pm 

[J C]

Hi Stanto I suggest go with the majority? 

As well as tinkering with the 3d printers themselves can we also look at better management of the 3d printer space? Maybe a desk secured to the wall and enclosures and spool holders etc for the printers? And how to control the 4 of them? Is a better or another computer needed?

My enclosure is made from cheap Ikea "Lack" tables and I feed filament
straight out of Ikea Samla boxes with printed spool holders and filament
"nozzles". Pictures attached and all the parts are on Thingiverse.
Decide what we need and I'll print it.

I must admit that I print straight from SD, but the cool kids use a
Raspberry Pi and Octoprint.

[J C]

Thats a pretty sweet setup  :)

I do love a bit of IKEA hacking.

My desk is even a classic "Jerker" with 3D printed monitor mounts.

Joe, do you want rid of mine, not sure if you need the space or if mines currently working? I can fix it if so esthings playing up

[J C]

Andy if you are not using I would be glad for the space to borrow it longer please. I think its just a loose connection to the motor for it to be fully working again. A bed that goes up and down has its advantages :)

That's fine Joe, didn't know if you wanted it out the way... will have a look Tuesday night to try and sort it.

[J C]

Great thanks Andy :)

Reminder: Thursday the 27th of July 7pm to 10pm for the 3D printing meetup. Bring along your stuff and show it off, talk about printers, and maybe we can get the hackspace printer(s) up and running fully!

Sadly I cannot make this one either now. My brother is having a wedding rehearsal that I was only recently informed of

I'm looking forward to it.
Joe managed to get the big printer (the one on the shelving unit) to turn on and started printing last night. Looked like it failed when attempting to infill? And I don't remember seeing a nozzle for cooling the filament though? But glad to see it extruding :)

[Troy West]

Going to try and make it tonight, looking forward to the meet up!

[Aidan Dunbar]

I won't be able to make it tonight, sorry.

Thanks everyone for the great turnout, attitudes and work on the printers! Along with some very nice prints!

Should we do this again?

[J C]

Yes :)

Yea as I'm determined to make it to one!

Weekends are better for me but I can make evenings work usually.
