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.

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.

Alex has an order pending from https://www.protoparadigm.com/

Bill is about to order some.
