3D Printing
Just wondering if anyone else has a 3D printer...
My first 3D Printer arrived last week, and I have enjoyed it so far. I am mostly making parts to improve the 3D Printer performace/use. I suspect that there are others in TV "playing" around with a 3D Printer.

Check out the Connected Villagers club which meets on Mondays at Eisenhower. They have had presentations on 3d printing and I am sure they can help you.

HI,
I too have a 3D printer - a Lulzbot Mini. Great printer. We are trying to form a new group that includes 3D printing. As details are finalized I'll put them up here. Regards, Joe |

I'm very interested in a 3D Printer group. Hope one gets formed soon.

It would be nice to have a maker group. 3D printing, Laser cutters and CNCs etc.

I'm wondering what 3D software package(s) you folks that have 3D printers are using to make your own models. I taught engineering CAD courses that incorporated 3D printers...we used the CAD programs SolidWorks and ProEngineer (now caled CREO). There are a couple of freeware CAD programs available which have the capablity to create STL files that can then be used by 3D printers.
I would also be interested in joining a group if one is formed. |

I got mine (Trinus3d) in March. Is anyone out there familiar with Cura?
