  • 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!

    I bit the bullet

    From the original RepRap of 2004 to today, the machines have become less of a kit build in most cases to turn key. I was looking at many machines and when the Bambu X1C came out I almost hit the button! I didn’t as I ended up wanting and needing a large build envelope. I did end up with the...

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    It seems that people with walkers have issues with lugging an oxygen bottle. Either it is slung across the handles, or into the basket, or precariously placed on the seat. I printed these for a friend last weekend. In her situation the left one clips to the upright tube under the handle and the...

    So I've jumped into the rabbit hole

    Still printing the last piece over night, but I had to try the appropriate storage position of the upper assembly onto the lower. Still much needs to be made! Pierre
