3D printer building class feeler

[Jon Atkinson]

I know there are several people looking to build a printer, some have attended our 3d printer group. I also know that they may want to build it faster than only spending a couple hours each month. So, I'm going to jump out there and say I'm going to run another class. Give me suggestions on class times. In the past I did Saturday mornings from 10am-2pm, but I'm open to other times. 4 hours is a good amount of time per session.

I'm thinking I'll put out a couple options:

$325 for a kit (the Graber i3 as seen in the classroom)

$395 if you want to attend a class to build it and learn how to use it.

I need a headcount for kits and students at least a month in advance because I need to source all the bits and get them here.

There will be some upcoming 3D printer classes to learn how to use the one in the shop, or the one in your home.

You can also come out to the 3D printer group and talk to folks that have them and learn how to better use yours. Doug gave a nice presentation on using OpenSCAD last month.

Regards,

Jon

Jon, 

I wish I knew you were planning on doing this before this last weekend.  TC Maker held a Hack Factory thing held in Connie's Space Lounge at Convergence this last weekend, where I demoed the 3D printing, and Scott demoed the CNC Shapeoko.  Many people expressed an interest in building a 3D printer.  Hopefully they will check us out and hear about the class!  When you go ahead with it, hopefully someone will post it on the website's front page.  

I'm thinking of building another 3D printer, so I have an interest in your class.  Sundays work better for me than Saturdays.

Thanks Doug,

I've been thinking about running a new class for a couple weeks, I wish I would have said something, too. I'll get a post up on the blog as soon as I have time. I'll also put out an eventbrite announcement.

Jon
