Hi, all. Something I've wanted to do for quite some time is invest in some reserved AWS instances for synhak.org to reduce our monthly bill. The problem with that is paying the high up-front cost. Since we now have this $15k grant, I'd like to use a small portion of it to build what I consider

I think an evaluation of several hosting options and establishing the infrastructure needs be done, before we earmark funds and make any plan changes. I am concerned with how much horse power cost has been amassed even after we have achieved a 501c3 status. On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 12:13 PM,

Does the 3D printer have just one extruder? If so, I'll need an upgrade to 2 extruders so I can print sacrificial support for my shapes. The printer is pretty limited now, in the kinds of shapes that can be printed. On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 12:24 PM, Torrie Fischer tdfisc...@hackerbots.netwrote:

Slic3r has an option for support material, which is a honeycomb shaped fill that easily breaks away. It isn't perfect, but you don't need a second extruder to print a lot of hanging material. I'd like to learn more about it. Thanks. On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 5:34 PM, Torrie Fischer
