[02:50] <brousch> cmaloney: What sort of 3D printing talk are you looking for at MUG?
[02:53] <brousch> We have a sort of 3D printing club in GR. I may get a few to visit tha D
[02:54] <cmaloney> Something introductory would be awesome.
[02:55] <brousch> I'll poke around for interest
[02:56] <cmaloney> Cool. Thank you!
[02:57] <brousch> I'd be really surprised if you didn't have several members who talk about it
[02:57] <cmaloney> Heh
[02:57] <cmaloney> So they use Windows or Linux for printing?
[02:58] <brousch> Usually it's a built-in thing. Some of the firmware so are open source
[02:59] <brousch> You make the model on the computer, export an still file, the "slice" that file into code for the specific printer, on the computer. Then you transfer the code to the printer on SD card.
[03:00] <brousch> Stl file. Damn autocorrect
[03:01] <cmaloney> Ah, ok
[03:01] <brousch> There are 3 distinct skills involved: modeling, slicing, printer maintenance
[03:02] <brousch> There is open source software available for each of those pieces
[03:05] <cmaloney> Nice
