  • Education:

      • 3D printer class scheduled
        • Nate put the basic outline of the class in the description, but still needs to develop the actual curriculum, test machines, slicer, come up with a proficiency evaluation, etc.
        • Can we set up a time to do a "dry-run" with existing members? Unlikely to get on the schedule.
    • Updates on classes: Joe on laser, James on CNC, Andrew on the Roland CNC.
      • James is making some progress on re-learning the issues with the Shapeoko. Would like to push the class out a bit further to accommodate. Would like to base the training off of Nate's 3D printing.
