Hi everyone,
I'm interested in trying out some 3D printing for the first time. I have
some basic models put together in tinkercad. I know it's maybe not a great
tool, but it's very quick to start with. I've also managed to get Slic3r to
generate a RepRap print path.
I just wondered if someone would be around to chat about the printer in
Metalab and the whole process in general some time. Perhaps even this
afternoon/evening?
Thanks in advance!
Fabio
