Another shot of the finished and working 3D printers we all built this morning. We all had a lot of fun.

Our Makerfaire 3D printer giveaway was completed today. We built 4 printers, and they went home with their new owners.

Need your model sliced so you can create those interlocking wood pieces on the laser cutter?
Use Fusion Slicer https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=8699194120463301363
Free.
Load an STL file, and play with options to produce the interlocking wooden model you require.
Lots of videos showing examples on line.

Finally got the Prussa back up and running, the Rostock needs a good deal more work, though.

Setting up for maker faire

For my whistles printed to give away at Chattanooga mini maker faire tomorrow.
Off to set up now.

Dug into the issues with the printers tonight. Turns out, they both have the same problem going on. Everything's torn down pretty well right now, but parts are on order and I'll be throwing it all together as soon as they get here. The new bits should be able to provide a minor upgrade for both printers as well. I'm really looking forward to getting everything back up and running!

Got the mill powered up now. Still needs a fair amount of work and some tooling, but it's good to see things spinning.

Finally got around to setting up a proper tray for the keyboard and mouse at the Stereo PC. You can finally type at a comfortable level and not have to worry about knocking anything down!

Looks like Prusa will be making it's own filament. Super high quality, for a good price.
It's available in Amazon soon.
