  • 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.

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Thanks so much guys. I'm doing a clean install as a precaution since I'm not skilled enough at this to look through and recognize crap that shouldn't be there. I've tried getting rid of the games and some of them refuse to go for me. Once only the new windows is present. I'll research what I...

    It does have a disc drive, and I have thumb drives as well . I've been reading on the how to, so once my ssd arrives next week I'm away. Ken

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Not sure how it got double posted. I'll fix it. Ok, I understand much better now about why many upgrades simply won't work. I'm going to order a proper 2.5" internal ssd, then do a clean install of Windows 10. I've wanted to completely start fresh, since my kids loaded games on it. Some of...

    New Bore aligning system.

    Morning everyone, I follow this fellow on gavintube and making with metal channels. He seems very knowledgeable and constantly in pursuit of accuracy, in shooting and metal work. There's been lots of discussion about alignment on lathes, so I thought it would interest some of you. He's started...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Hopefully this will be my last questions. I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome so to speak. I found some videos on youtube about installing the ssd, but I found this setup -...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    I decided to attempt to upgrade this old laptop enough that I can start learning Fusion 360, even if I can't render anything but the very basic shapes , etc. @garritv - You had said adding a 256 ssd could possibly help. I'm looking at the m2 ssd's, and I'm wondering. If I put a larger one in...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Thanks guys. I'm not going to bother trying to use this old laptop. I don't want to mess around getting a updated ssd and finding out it still won't work properly. I'm going to research the components you suggested more, so I know what I'm buying and what it actually does. I've been browsing...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Well that's not great news, but I'm not really surprised. It was actually bought for the kids by my mom, so she just took the one that the customer rep at Costco suggested. I did actually install Windows 10 about 2 years ago. For now I am shy on funds . Can the SSD be external? Or does it need...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    Gerritv - There is only 1 option IMO, 3DCOnnexion Space Mouse and Cad mouse combo. For that price does it take dictation and draw the piece for you? I have problems with my hands, so I doubt I'd be able to use one like that. Hope I've found you the info you need Degen. I also have this...

    Is windows 10 good for CAD Prusa Slicer, and CNC?

    As the title asks. My 3D printer is almost here, and I'm setting up with Fusion 360 as well. I have a decent laptop for my sole use, and it has windows 10. I've been away from computers for some time, so I'm relearning their os as well. Win 10 seems terribly slow to me compared with ios, and...
