Last night it was quite the busy night with new faces and the usual members turning up.
Can you find wally?
Somewhere, discussions about 3D printers are occurring in the crowd
Rob and Dinesh continue work on their 3D printer, creating covers and panels using the laser cutter. Using the reflow pencil as a heat gun, they can bend pieces to make covers.
Plenty of laser cutting going on for Rob and Dinesh’s printer
Rob and Dinesh’s printer looks stunning when fully assembled
The panels can come off to allow access to the inside
Rob and Dinesh cut and then bent a cover for the electronics and motors
Stuart came with his printer and got it up and running again after some down time. He also had some wood filament on hand to try out after making sure the printer functioned correctly. The print also has a nice wood scent to it, much better than the plastic smell you usually get from freshly extruded plastic.

Trystan brought along his Prusa i3 3D printer and printed off some more parts on the space’s prusa.
Trystan’s Prusa i3 is finally taking shape… some assembly required
Trystan as per usual takes another timelapse as he prints parts
John also had his printer going after installing his new Rumba board.
Functional and stylish

Rob had a new nozzle on his printer, one of the Prusa Nozzles which have no PTFE (Teflon) tube in it. He printed some objects with it over the course of the night to give it an extra good test.
