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

Hello Fabio,
We have a mailing list especially for 3d printing, I would recommend subscribing and posting your request there: 3d-printing@lists.metalab.at <mailto:3d-printing@lists.metalab.at> The chances of finding someone who can help you are probably the best there. You can also try our public mailing list: metalab@lists.metalab.at <mailto:metalab@lists.metalab.at> Also your mail seems a bit vague to me, so a few things you might consider before asking on the 3d printing list: * Do you already have 3D models of the things you want to build? * If not, do you need advice on designing for 3D printing or which software to use? * size of the parts you want to make: parts smaller than a few millimeters might not be printable, really big pieces must be printed in parts to fit into our machine * materials: what environment will the parts be used in? Our machine uses PLA, a biodegradable plastic
I hope that information is useful to you!
Cheers, Michael

Dear Metalab,
I'm a research scientist at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Cancer Research. I am interested in building some small tools and devices for our laboratory work. I visited Metalab before, during the summer, and got a tour of the labs. I was told I should definitely ask around for help. I think the 3D printer might be ideal for what I want to build. Would you have any advice? I appreciate any information or redirection you can provide.
Kind regards,
Fabio Liberante
