PFC/RSGAL 3D Printer DIY Summer Project

PFC/RSGAL Team, instead of formal lab meetings over the summer, I propose that we continue to meet on Thursdays to work on building out the DIY 3D printer. We will meet in RSGAL from 11-1, you don’t have to attend the whole time, drop in over your lunch break.

You are welcome to contribute as much as you want, or just stand back and observe. We will start this week by unboxing the kit and setting up a work bench on the main table in RSGAL; or we might use a temporary desk to allow equipment layout for the Alaska field campaign. If you need a meeting space the PFC lab is available and can be used till we are done with the build out.

If you want to know more about the printer we are using the Prusa i3 MK3S Kit: https://www.prusa3d.com/new-user-mk3/ which I had a chance to play around with a few months ago at a colleague’s facility.

Hope you can join us!
