Perfect!  Thanks!  I've tweaked it ever so slightly, and posted it on our

I'll begin getting the word out tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks!

We will also explain and demonstrate the process of using Linux software for 3D printing. That includes getting designs for 3D-printable objects, either by downloading free designs from the Web, or by designing them ourselves using free Linux software such as OpenSCAD; and it includes actually controlling the 3D printer using more Linux software such as Slic3r and Pronterface.

Our space has 3D printers and other tools used by makers; and most importantly, it has knowledgeable people who love sharing their expertise and enthusiasm about all things geeky, including Linux."
