Revision as of 13:24, 23 March 2012
There are a ton of things about 3D printing out in the big bad Internet, so let's focus on what we have used, what we are using, what we have near-term plans to use. Our main reference points are the RepRap community and Thingiverse, with perhaps a nod to Shapeways.
The 3D Printing meetings have been scheduled for 2nd Thursdays, starting April 12, 2012.
On this page should list software, links to hardware we actually have, configuration files, lists of what we've printed, wishlist of what we want to print, consumables purchased and on hand, wishlist of consumables, *maybe* wishlist for other hardware (though that can get crazy). When we get that done, we can delete this paragraph, consigning it to the revision history.
Problems, Tweaks, Workarounds, Victories, Defeats, Lessons Learned
So far, printing seems to work best from the microSD card.

Printer communication and control
Configuration files
Feedstock
For feedstock, we're pretty much using PLA.
Brian bought some orange and natural from http://ultimachine.com/ with some samples of opaque white and translucent green.
Alex has an order pending from https://www.protoparadigm.com/
Bill is about to order some.
