General Club Meeting – Friday September 21, 2018

ku_rluv0zybv8_bllv6w9o6_1024x10242xAt this months meeting we will have a presentation on 3D printing. Several club members have developed an interest in this in recent weeks and purchased new (and inexpensive) 3D printers. These printers are great for printing almost anything! Several members have printed items for amateur radio and a few are already into 3D modeling using 3D Cad programs. There are many resources on the internet for learning and lots of tutorials on YouTube. If you are not into designing your own 3D models, there are well over a million drawings available for download, ready for printing!

We’ll be bringing samples of our efforts to show and and have a slide presentation. Have you ever needed a knob for a radio or a special part for something? Print it! Come to the meeting and we’ll show you how easy it is to get started.
