  • 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!

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    Just look at that printer! @pdentrem have you done any mixed diameter nozzle prints, say 0.8mm for coarse fast areas, and a 0.4mm for threads and lettering etc. How does that work out? How are you using the multiple heads in practice?

    Writing on prints

    Sand the surface for the label smooth, clean it, put super glue down, and then put on the label. Clamp. What a pain. Maybe just superglue would work. I'll try to try it and report back. I'm trying to also stick the super sticky double sided foam tape, 3m stuff, to glue 3d printed parts to...
