Week 784 - New 3D Printer, Book Launch

[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!

Things of Note

• DoES Liverpool:Mike G bought a new BambuLab X2D 3D printer for home, and has been experimenting, pretty successfully, with flexible TPU.The good news for @DoESLiverpool - he's loaned us his last BambuLab buy, Eileen, a P1S 3D printer - super fast and with an AMS filament changer.
