Are you all still around?

[Ladaz Odol]

I am Joe Dunfee.  I visited your space back when Tony Buser was there.  You have apparently become inactive.  Is that still the case?

By the way, my preferred e-mail is jdun...@yahoo.com.  The Google groups menu seemed to only allow a G-mail address that I rarely use.

Hello Joe,

You are correct Berks CoLab did become inactive.  Cindi Abribat is an owner of the T.E.A. Factory here in Reading and they have
m monthly meetup.  Tony and I try to attend when our schedule allows.  They are still trying to create a maker/Haker Space in Reading so I encourage you to
check it out, and to check out the T.E.A. Factory. http://www.meetup.com/Readingtechventures/, and http://www.meetup.com/berkscountytech/

I hope to see you at an upcoming meet.

Amy

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even.

Sorry for the late reply, I had forgotten that the way I send the message sends the replies to an old e-mail that I abandoned after it got so much spam.  Note that my new preferred e-mail is jdun...@yahoo.com.  But, when I try to e-mail a reply to you, it bounces back saying I am not authorized.

I had found the Reading group on Meet-up before.  I had a schedule conflict for their last meeting, but I hope to catch them in the future.  I have joined the group on Meet-up.

I am getting into the 3-d printing world for someone I do a little work for now.  We were looking at the MakerBot 2x, but I was a bit concerned over how much tinkering would be needed if I wanted to use dissolvable supports. It can handle the two materials, but apparently not very well, since they still say the PVA (the dissolvable part) is still experimental.

We are looking at the Mojo, since it is around $10,000 and seems very user-friendly. But, the print size is small for us, and I wonder how trouble free it really is when I compare it to the Makerbot? The Mojo dealer declined to give me any percentages on how frequently a print fails.

There are perhaps hundreds of rapid prototype machines aimed at the hobby market. But, I think we are past the "spend a week tweaking it" level of machine. Though, I am sure many are still for sale.  Hopefully the more reliable machines will eventually rise to the top.

Do you have any insight on this issue?
