What we’re about
Curious about 3D printing? Already an avid 3D printer? Come join us! We'll meet on the 3rd Monday of each month and will focus on a particular topic for each meetup. In between meetups there's our Discord server: https://discord.gg/4NSYEK9JPR
Below are some example topics:
Materials - What types of materials are there, what are the differences, and how to print with them.
Support - Where to use it, what type to use, settings for using it, special support material (with dual extruders), and print cleanup after removal.
Finishing - ABS/Acetone Vapor, Gluing together multi-part prints, XTC3D, retouching, heat forming
Printer Modification - Common issues and fixes, tweaks/hacks, upgrades, and tuning
Slicing - The art of G-Code generation, how to optimize for the best prints, getting into advanced settings, slicing software, and best practices
CAD Basics - How to design your own models and make them 3D printable
We hope to see you there!

See all- 3D Printing Meetup Topic: Lightning Talks & Open MicHartSmart Products, Urbandale, IA
For our July meetup we're trying something a bit different--Lightning Talks & Open Mic! What does that mean? This will be a night to turn things around and hear from the group, rather than a specific host. Do you have specific knowledge on post-processing prints? Printing with clay? Have you 3D printed an entire cosplay armor? Do you want to ask the group about something you've been debating? Are you an early adopter of something that you want to share with the group? These and so many other topics are possibilities for what you can talk about. So head over to the Discord and look for the Meetup channel to sign up for a spot.
For our Print-of-the-Month the group voted to print Fans. This could mean a folding fan, it could be an epic blower fan, or anything else you can justify as a "fan." Just make sure to bring your FANtastic prints with you to the meetup!Meetup Address for attendees is:
