Im like Dan, analysis paralysis from drinking from the Google firehose.  So Im all for an informational meeting that will help us get the ball rolling in that world.   Does this mean that Homebrew night will move to January?   (Also congrats on passing Amateur Extra, Don. The Long Island CW Club is one CW teaching resource that I think would be a good fit for you.)   73 Chris AC5CM     From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> On Behalf Of Richard Bonica via BVARC Sent: Monday, October 19, 2026 8:15 AM To: Donald Loocke <dloo...@gmail.com> Cc: Richard Bonica <kg5...@gmail.com>; BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org>; Daniel Poirot <dtpoi...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Subject for December meeting...   First, congrats on test.

Work flow was simple.  A FreeCAD review would be nice,  as my experience has been mostly AutoCad and Fusion360. I want to do more modifications and direct design for some parts.    Stl modification, scratch design and  troubleshooting would be great topics to cover.    Also….. I passed my Amateur EXTRA test last Saturday! Glad to get that done…. Now it is on to my next challenge… the CW learning path.      73!  Don de KJ5MVN     Get Outlook for iOS From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> on behalf of Daniel Poirot via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> Sent: Monday, 19 October 2026 07:59:51 To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Daniel Poirot <dtpoi...@gmail.com>; Richard Bonica <kg5...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Subject for December meeting...   3D printers, soon to once again be stacked to the rafters at Micro Center, have evolved into a very full product line.  My neighbor's kid has one that runs entirely from a page on the internet!  Some uses, like 3D parts development, require very pricey printers. Other uses can get by with the Micro Center printers.  I am paralyzed by the vast array of choices...    73 Dan KJ5IZK    On Mon, Oct 19, 2026 at 7:18 AM Richard Bonica via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: To all,  Would you all be interested in a presentation on Freecad, 3d Printing and taking designs from thought to reality?
