SGVHAK Meeting

We will be helping John put together some of his 3D printers. The printers we will be building is based on Blue Eagle Lab's 3d Kossel Clear (https://www.youtube.com/user/BlueEagleLabs/videos). We will try out best to subtitute out parts made in non-free countries with either domestic or freedom friendly origins.

All the initial acrylic part were modeled by Blue Eagle Labs in Sketchup before being drawn using a combination of LibreCAD (http://librecad.org/cms/home.html) and Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/en/). LibreCAD was used to draw most of the tangential curves while Inkscape was used for the layout.

We will solder, both surface mount and through hole, RAMPS board from Ultimachine (https://ultimachine.com/) and we may also design simple circuits using KiCAD (http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite).

We will also explore the possibility of machining our own hot ends as well as v-groove bearings.

Pizza will be provided.
