  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    UHMW

    I potentially need to turn and/or machine some UHMW plastic bar for a friend's slushy machine tomorrow. Other than sharp tools and keeping everything cool, any tips to make this less of a gong show than I expect?

    WTB Reliable small truck or car. Calgary Area?

    Nope. Nothing like that on mine. All 8 all the time. Might explain the stellar 14 mpg I've averaged over the last 12 years:confused:

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    For my woodworking skills it probably could have been useful at +- 1/2 an inch, lol.

    Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

    I printed a 1 2 3 block. Came out within .002. Changes with the shop temp +-.005 so not for machining but really useful for woodworking.
