Week 776 - Printing

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon - if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

Wirral MakeFest

Wirral MakeFest is this Saturday, 25th April, from 10am - 4pm, at Birkenhead Central Library. Please get in touch with Mike G or Jackie if you'd like to volunteer and/or have anything that you'd like to display. More details in Google group post here.

This is also likely to be the first event with our eufyMake E1 UV texture printer, on loan from eufy for a year. Come and see it on Saturday, and look out for more events in the near future.

Things of Note
