Some of you guys were chatting about 3D printers & projects. Its not really my thing, at least not right now. But I stumbled onto this 'meetup' environment.... No, no, not that kind of meetup! ;[] & looks like Calgary has a 3d printing group. Not sure if its standalone or runs in conjunction with some of the other venue.

I already checked, no competing metal-head groups in meetup. Calgary seems to favour the more social & artistic inclinations vs. other cities in that regard.

I've went to one of them. It was mostly a show and tell along with a few demos. It was worthwhile just for some of the tips and tricks that people have worked out. For example you can weld two pieces of PLA together by chucking a piece of filament in a Dremel and then friction welding the pieces together. They do have a Facebook page, 3D Printing Calgary. Perhaps of more interest is their other meetup place at Minhas micro brewery, I haven't made it to that one yet.
