  • 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!

    End of our backyard chicken experiment.

    We’re down two cats this winter from hawks. Only the black ones seem to make it. If I do chickens it will have to be in a covered area as we have skunks and coons a plenty as well. Sorry for the loss.

    You still on the fence to get a 3d printer?

    I'm still squeezing the life out of an Creality Ender 3 v2. Started with the failed Kickstarter Tiko 3D printer (I was one of the few who got one), then onto a Geeetech (rerap clone), then on to the Ender. @YYCHM, cancel that order and get the Bambu. You will not regret having a printer...

    Timer

    I use Tapo and Kara smart plugs and devices to control lights/plugs etc. I already subscribed to Tapo for my security cameras so it wasn’t any extra cost. Very nice devices, up to 15 amps. I incorporated motion sensors and linked it all into Home assistant. Might be overkill but having...
