The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday October 21, 2013 7:00pm - 9:00pm Presentation: "Printrbot Simple" 3D printer with Tim Feldman, of Davis Makerspace We will demonstrate a "Printrbot Simple" 3D printer (http://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-simple/), successfully assembled by a group of novices from a $300.00 kit made by a local company. We will also explain and demonstrate the process of using Linux software for 3D printing, including getting designs for 3D-printable objects, either by downloading free designs from the Web, or by designing them ourselves using free Linux software such as OpenSCAD; and it includes actually controlling the 3D printer using more Linux software such as Slic3r and Pronterface. We will also briefly talk about Davis Makerspace (http://davismakerspace.org/), a free local resource for all kinds of creative people . Our space has 3D printers and other tools used by makers; and most importantly, it has knowledgeable people who love sharing their expertise and enthusiasm about all things geeky, including Linux.
