<div dir="ltr">Hmm. I have a spiffy new 2020 Prusa Mendel I3 built from a kit ( <a href="http://folgertech.com">http://folgertech.com</a> ). I can recommend this kit highly, 'specially for the price, a mere $300. First Print was back in mid-March, and I'm now busily printing enhancements and making tweaks to her (she's called Cora). I'm using my aged IBM R50e running Debian Jessie for control. The newer laptop has artofillusion ( <a href="http://artofillusion.org">http://artofillusion.org</a> ) on it (my current 3d modeling software of choice). I'm exploring openSCAD ( <a href="http://openscad.org">http://openscad.org</a> ), which offers some interesting advantages for someone who's all mouse-thumbs like me. I could at least theoretically bring the machine in and have it print stuff during the talk.<div><br></div><div>Is that an interesting subject, or have 3D printers been Done to Death for our audience? I know that folks who have co-memberships in Freeside or Decatur Makers probably already have 3D printing exposure and probably rabid opinions of their own on what works and what doesn't.<div><br></div><div>-- CHS</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 8:35 PM, Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com" target="_blank">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">I'm looking for a speaker for April.</p>
