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.

I have an early Printer Bot Simple that i built from a kit a couple years age. It's a fun to hobby. I went to the Orlando Maker Fair last year. A lot of 3D printing other interesting things going on their. It is in October.

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

Thanks for the info on the Maker Fair.
I have a Creality CR-10. I got it to just keep up with technology.

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 use Autodesk Fusion 360, and CURA for slicing, and OctoPI for interfacing with 3D printer (Creality CR-10)

Hi Joe,
Is there a local place to get some PLA, or spare parts?
Pete

As I said earlier we are trying to put together a group that includes 3D Printing. If you PM me you email address, I'll be glad to add you to the mailing list for information.

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

What's the Cura question? I'm now using Cura 2.7.0
