[dcw] 3D printers 'n Things.

[Braden Pellett]

Hi Lucian,

I was talking with Tim off-list, and he was suggesting the Printrbot LC that is in the space.

    http://printrbot.com/support/printrbot-lc/

It's print volume is 6"x6"x6".  Would that be big enough for your project?

The set up process for the Printrbot LC should be similar to what you saw me do to set up the Printrbot Simple.  The page linked above includes a link to a similar PDF manual.

SO, if you wanted to try to connect to and print from the Printrbot LC during my hours today, I'd be fine with that.

The proviso there is: it will be kind of up to you to figure out; I'm not going to be able to offer much help, both due to lack of knowledge and due to lack of time as I'm trying to work on a project of my own. :)

Also, I probably will not be able to be around the space on Monday.

Anyway, feel free to stop by my hours today, of course.

  - Braden
