I could spiff up my Intro to 3D Printing presentation and do an hour of performance art: http://softsolder.com/2011/10/11/lilug-meeting-presentation/ My talk for the local ACM chapter covered more of the math and modeling, which may be too much tech: http://softsolder.com/2012/05/18/presentation-for-poughkeepsie-acm-diy-3d-printing-hardware-software/ A 3D printer build class, along the lines of what you do with the mini-mill, could be a lot of fun. Start with, say, a box containing a Makergear M2 printer: http://www.makergear.com/pages/m2-assembly-instructions Gorgeous hardware and, from all the early accounts, great performance. I kinda-sorta want one, with an eye to retrofitting LinuxCNC, not that there's a pressing need for *another* 3D printer in my shop. [grin] Given the venue logistics, I doubt we could pull off two build classes in that lecture room, but ... maybe for 2014? York sits on the outer edge of how far I can drive in a day; doing the trip in April makes that day *much* more enjoyable. Ann Arbor might as well be on the far side of the planet, alas. -- Ed softsolder.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
